Since 2016, the North Eastern Region of India is witnessing a change in political establishments. The new political leaders are making renewed efforts at building the economy with development investments. The states of the region are also actively taking part in India’s ongoing initiative to prepare a 15-year vision document for a period up to 2030. At the time of this change in leadership and large-scale visioning and policy review exercise, the current program of Vet Helpline India Pvt Ltd aims at promoting investment in the livestock and fishery sector ( including in the areas of food processing ) of North East India. The program will focus on the following activities:

  • Networking with leading livestock and fishery sector-focused industry and farmer associations both within North East and across India.
  • Collaboration for preparation of reports suggesting a road map for facilitating the private sector investment in the livestock and fishery sector within the region.
  • Advocacy to ensure detailed discussion on the suggested road map and partnerships for its implementation.
  • Partnership for organizing investors’ meet and technical workshops.
  • Resource mobilization jointly with industry associations for implementation of projects that can facilitate private investment in livestock and fishery sector within the region, e.g., Projects to support the brand-building exercise of N E India-based producer companies, Cooperative societies, etc.
  • Knowledge support and monitoring of private investments.
  • Development of cluster maps and database of contacts/initiatives.
  • Partnership with state animal husbandry / Fishery departments for building PPP plans and programs based on emerging areas of investments e.g., Cluster level business advisory and technology demonstration center
