Regarding migration, Minister Bahuguna acknowledged it as a significant challenge and emphasized the government’s priority to curb it. Highlighting the importance of national security, especially given Uttarakhand’s proximity to border areas, he underscored the role of the Animal Husbandry and Agriculture Department in addressing migration issues. The Goat Valley Project, which has engaged 1700 families in the hilly regions, has not only provided livelihood opportunities but also stemmed the tide of migration. Similarly, 2100 families have been involved in poultry farming, contributing to both economic growth and migration prevention efforts.
