• A. National Livestock Mission
• B. Rashtriya Gokul Mission
• C. National Programme for Dairy Development
• D. Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund

Hint:

Rashtriya Gokul Mission = Indigenous breeds + AI at doorstep

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Concept:
Artificial Insemination (AI) is a key reproductive technology used to improve genetic quality of livestock. Government programmes promote doorstep delivery to ensure accessibility for farmers.

Step 1: Understanding Artificial Insemination Services

• AI involves depositing semen into female reproductive tract.
• Helps improve breed quality and milk production.
• Doorstep delivery ensures accessibility in rural areas.

Step 2: Rashtriya Gokul Mission (B)

• Focuses on conservation and development of indigenous cattle.
• Promotes AI services at farmer’s doorstep.
• Improves genetic upgradation.

Step 3: Evaluating Other Options

• National Livestock Mission → Broad livestock development, not specific to doorstep AI
• National Programme for Dairy Development → Focus on dairy infrastructure
• AHIDF → Financial support for infrastructure, not AI delivery Final Conclusion: \[ \boxed{\text{Rashtriya Gokul Mission}} \]
