Abstract

The research found that a number of livestock increased significantly by 74% and income of an individual livestock raiser inclined by 112.1%. The income contributed to purchase food for additional 11 months. Besides their income, their access to service also improved in agriculture, finance, private and local government sectors. The paper disseminates the ideas of rural people towards income generation, risk management and enterprise development. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
