Rearing rabbits for profit in Uttarkhand

Tehri, Nov 28, 2007 : Rearing and breeding of Angora rabbits is proving to be a lucrative prospect for Indian villagers in northern Uttarakhand.

Declining population of sheep in the region forced the villagers to turn to Angora rabbit breeding, when the state Rural Development Ministry launched the Angora Wool Scheme in Uttarakhand in March 2002 in collaboration with the federal government. HIFEED Agro Services is the nodal organisation of the Government of Uttarakhand.
