Success Story – HADP (50 Ewes(
Mr. Firdous Ahmad Najar, a post–graduate from Jaggepora, Kupwara, stands as a shining example of educated youth turning towards livestock entrepreneurship under the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP). With the establishment of a 50 Ewes Unit, Firdous not only utilized his academic knowledge in scientific management of sheep rearing but also demonstrated how educated unemployed youth can generate sustainable livelihood in the sheep husbandry sector.
His unit has shown encouraging results within a short span of time, providing him with a stable income and creating employment opportunities for others as well. Firdous Ahmad’s success story is inspiring many other educated youth of Kupwara to take up sheep farming as a viable career option under various departmental schemes.
