So far livestock-related schemes were only catering to settled farmers, herders

The Union government admitted that India’s pastoralist communities fell through the cracks when it comes to them benefitting from various schemes. It has urged states with sizeable population of such communities to work to prevent this.

There is a significant population of pastoralists or cattle herders across India who move from one place to another to graze their animals. There are no official numbers but according to organisations working with pastoralists, about 10 million and 20 million pastoralists graze India's forests and grasslands respectively. 

The Union Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying wrote a letter August 23, 2022 to the animal husbandry departments of:

*Rajasthan
*Gujarat
*Karnataka
*Odisha
*Andhra Pradesh
*Himachal Pradesh
*Uttarakhand
*Ladakh
*Uttar Pradesh
*Sikkim
*Jammu & Kashmir
*Arunachal Pradesh

These states are estimated to have the highest pastoralists population.

The letter asked the states to provide assistance to pastoralists under National Livestock Mission, Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund (AHIDF) and Rashtriya Gokul Mission (for cattle).
