What Our Beneficiaries Say

Sushila Devi Goat Rearer & Micro-entrepreneur

Before ILRDF, I didn’t know the value of the goats I raised. Today, I run my own small business with improved native breeds and earn a steady income. This work gave me confidence and independence

Ramesh Kumar Rural Youth Trainee

Through ILRDF's training, I became a certified paravet in my village. Now I help others care for their animals and earn a livelihood doing something meaningful

Dr. Meena Sharma Livestock Researcher & Educator

ILRDF bridges the gap between research and the real world. Collaborating with them has brought our students into direct contact with field realities and solutions that work.
