The DAPSC programme commenced from February 2019 at this Institute. This programme is being carried out at two locations in Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand. Under this programme village bilkhet of Kaljikhal Block in Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand was selected which is about 225 km away from the Institute. Being in the valley Bilkhet area is receiving very less rainfall and the farmers were not able to grow crops due to scarcity of water. They had left their agricultural fields abandoned and migration of rural youth to towns and cities was at extreme. Elderly people were staying in the villages and rearing 1-3 cattle with very less milk yield.

This Institute has signed a MoU with two other agencies viz. ICAR-Indian Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Dehradun and Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Education Society, Dehradun to carry out activities for the welfare of scheduled caste community of these villages.

The another area is Village Shipura in Jani Block of Meerut district in Uttar Pradesh where 91 percent population belongs to schedule caste community.

Off-Farm and On-farm trainings of farmers are being conducted regularly at both locations. Different interventions are being executed to improve plane of nutrition in livestock through urea molasses mineral blocks, mineral mixture and by introducing mini feed mill and to reduce mortality and morbidity and improving productivity through health, reproduction and managemental interventions. Minor farm implements have been distributed to reduce drudgery of farm women.
