Charkhi Dadri Goat Rearing Aravalli Belt

Contributed by Swadesi Editorial Team

Charkhi Dadri's Aravalli scrubland is prime goat browsing terrain where Barbari and desi goat herds kept by Gwala, Bawaria, and Yadav community families graze on thorny scrub vegetation that cattle and buffaloes avoid. The district's goat population provides meat at festival markets and kid sales, with young males sold before Eid Ul-Adha at premium prices to buyers from Gurugram and Delhi. The district veterinary department runs mobile veterinary camps in Charkhi Dadri's remote Aravalli villages providing PPR vaccination and deworming that reduce herd mortality and protect the goat capital that represents significant wealth for landless pastoral families.
