| Abstract | Dairy farming plays a crucial role in strengthening rural livelihoods by providing regular income, employment, and nutritional security. In agrarian districts like Kaimur, Bihar, where landholdings are small and agricultural income remains uncertain, dairy farming has emerged as a significant supplementary and, in some cases, primary source of household income. This study examines the contribution of dairy farming to income generation among rural households in Kaimur District. It analyzes the role of dairy as a livelihood option, its impact on household expenditure, savings, and asset creation, and the adoption of improved dairy practices. The study also identifies key constraints such as lack of veterinary services, limited access to credit, fodder scarcity, and marketing challenges. Using primary data collected from selected dairy-farming households, the study highlights that dairy farming enhances income stability, improves living standards, and contributes to poverty alleviation. However, the full potential of the sector remains underutilized due to infrastructural and institutional gaps. The findings suggest the need for targeted policy interventions, training, and institutional support to strengthen dairy-based rural income systems in the district. |
