Abstract
Backyard poultry with native breeds is easy to manage, less risky and can generate better incomes, for the poor households. It has the potential to alleviate rural poverty, eradicate malnutrition and create employment opportunities too. With a little external support from KVK Dharmapuri under Attracting and Retaining Youth in Agriculture, Allied Activities (ARYA) by initiating small farm enterprises, the young farming communities in Dharmapuri district have shown that it is possible to improve health and livelihoods.
