- Maharashtra is the first state in the country to grant agricultural status to livestock farming.
- According to the decision, livestock-based activities will now be treated on par with agricultural activities.
- It allows farmers access to electricity, local body tax, loan subsidies, and solar subsidies under agricultural terms.
- India’s agricultural policies have traditionally focused on the crop production—grains, pulses, fruits, and vegetables.
- But livestock farming has been treated as a separate or “allied” activity.
