Mithun development programme is being implemented by the state’s department of veterinary and animal husbandry to conserve and propagate Mithun production in the breeding tracks in situ. In 2011-12, the programme is being implemented in three districts of the state covering 1.1 lakh hectares of forest land in 44 villages whereby a total of 220 numbers of elite Mithun is being implemented to provide an alternative farming to the farmers against Jhuming which is less economical and can results in forest degradation.
