Manipur Proposes Increased Incentives and Conservation for Manipuri Pony Owners
The Manipur Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Department has proposed increasing the annual incentive for Manipuri pony owners to Rs 10,000 per animal, supported by a Rs 30 lakh annual budget. This follows the launch of the Pony Registration System to digitally identify ponies and assess their population, which shows signs of recovery after previous declines. A joint conservation proposal by the Ministry of DoNER and Manipur's Chief Minister has been approved, focusing on selective breeding and infrastructure development to protect the endangered Manipuri Pony.
