The Goat Trust in collaboration with the Department of Animal and Fish Resources, Government of Bihar, the World Bank and ISAP India Foundation had started out as a technical support agency to promote goat based livelihoods and goatry value chain under the overall Bihar Kosi Basin Development Project in the kosi belt of Bihar. This region is known to be the most affected by the kosi river flooding in the past and is still quite vulnerable for flooding. A sustainable livelihood system need to be established here for adequate social and economic well-being. In collaboration with the other stakeholders, we have managed to establish a couple of Farmer Producer Companies for a robust community owned institution to function in the goat based value chain. The video of Mr. Purushottam's journey is a testament of the transformative power of this initiative. The life of a labourer took a significant turn and today he is a true agripreneur. This is a symbol of the positive impact that the project has had among the community.
