Jammu, March 28

Over 900 sheep and goat units have been established in the financial year 2021-22 under the Integrated Sheep Development Scheme (ISDS) in J&K, officials said on Monday.

The ISDS is one of the schemes of the UT sheep husbandry department aimed at achieving breakthroughs in wool and mutton production and addressing the problems of unemployment in the UT.

According to official data, 594 sheep and goat units have been established under the scheme in the Valley, while 329 units were provided to the beneficiaries in the year 2021-22 in Jammu region. Last year, J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha had said his administration would provide a major fillip to the animal husbandry sector. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
