Kohima: The ICAR Research Complex for the North Eastern Hill Region and the All India Coordinated Research Project on Poultry Breeding teamed up in Jalukie B, Peren.

The organizers want to improve nutritional security and boost earnings for rural communities.
Dr. Mahak Singh opened the event by stressing the need for sustainable farming. Dr. Homeshwar Kalita followed with a keynote address that highlighted how backyard birds keep families afloat. He told attendees, "seek technical guidance from the ICAR centre." Other speakers included Pankaj Sinha and Heraka Council Chairman Bamyi Hau.
Dr. Pedenuo Shoya led the technical training. She explained the best ways to handle brooding, housing, feeding, and disease control. Dr. Tasile Zeliang moderated the day. Sixty-nine farmers from Jalukie B and nearby villages left with new supplies.
The agency handed out 1,650 improved Vanaraja and Srinidhi chicks. Each farmer also received a share of the 88 bags of starter feed, totaling 4,400 kg. Talimoa Aier closed the event with a final word of thanks. The training gave these farmers the birds and the gear they need to build better livelihoods.
