A mega mission, the Chief Minister Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana (CMSGUY) has beeen launched during 2016-17 for the overall development of the rural areas of the state and to double the farm income in Assam by 2021-22 coinciding with 75 years of India’s Independence. The Assam Milk, Meat and Egg Mission is an important project under this, to be undertaken by the Directorate of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary. It will be supervised by the Assam Milk, Meat and Egg Society for Chief Minister Samagra Gramya Unnayan Yojana’ also referred as Assam Milk, Meat & Egg Mission society (AMMEMS-CMSGUY).

Objectives:
