Dec. at MYRADA Community Hall Thamaraikarai village, Andhiyur Block, Erode

District. The workshop has been inaugurated by Mr. Santhanam, AGM, NABARD. In his

inaugural addressed he highlighted the importance of local cattle breeds as they are

known for disease resistance and utilized by farmers as draught animals. He told that

giving herbal treatment for animals is a unique programme which is also low cost and

based on traditional wisdom. Dr.S. Pannerselvam, professor & Head of Dept. of Animal

breeding and Genetics stressed the need for conservation of Bargur cattle breed. He told

that in India there are 33 defined breeds of cattle and out of which 7 are is Tamil Nadu.

Bargur is one of the breed .

Page 14: 1. Training cum workshop for conservation of Nattupasu

14

There were more than 20,000 pure bargur cattle about a decade ago but survey conducted

during 2007 by TANUVAS shows that it is only 2500 maintained by about 212 families .

In his speech he told that in Tamil Nadu there are 74 lakhs cattle are cross breed and

only 38 lakhs are local breed. He advised the farmers to form a breeders association and

represent to District collector for addressing their grazing issues related with conservation

of breed. The true to type of Bargur bulls are less than 20 and attained the status of

endangered he told. P. Vivekanandan has highlighted the grazing issue faced by local

farmers with forest officials . Though grazing permission has been granted to the farmers,

they are not allowed to camp or halt inside the forest during night time. For many

generations penning has been practiced inside forests and all of a sudden without

providing alternate strategy excluding their animals in violation of present Forest Rights

Act 2006. Farmers usually practice penning in the following places (which are now

prohibited) Bothamalai , Dona maduva, Kopputhakombai, Pottatti, Seeynatti, Kalladdi,

Kodakadi, Anuppadi, Kongadai boli, Velibothai, Kopputhakombai, Kodasalai,

Kombaipatti.

The cattle are pooled temporarily and herds are formed and grazed during Adi- Margali

(July – January ) when crop is sown all over the area after the harvest of crops i.e. during

summer (Feb – June) the animals will be sent to respective farmers .

Page 15: 1. Training cum workshop for conservation of Nattupasu

15

Now the traditional grazing system is threatened due to policy of forest department and

therefore farmers are running to take shelter in near by Karnataka forest jungles. Because

of ill treatment met by farmers many have disposed their cattle and the situation is

frustrating in the conservation of cattle breed. During the workshop it has been decided to

represent District Collector for implementing grazing rights to farmers as per FRA 2006.

In the afternoon session preparation of herbal dewormer (Dr. Alamelu, veterinary

Doctor, MYRADA KVK ), masala bolus (Mr. Alagumalai , programme officer, SEVA),

Challenges / Constraints

Government of India has enacted a new Act The scheduled Tribes & Other Forest

Dwellers (Recognition of forest rights ) Act – 2006 which provides grazing rights for

Pastoralists in forests. This Act has been implemented in all states and rights to forest

dependants are conferred. Unfortunately this Act is being challenged in Madras High

Court ( Madras High court writ petition 4533/2008 ) and therefore it is not being

implemented in Tamil Nadu . We hope that once this case is vacated the grazing rights

will be provided for them in Tamil Nadu . In this regard we also prepared a pastoralists

note at national level ( after attending a workshop on pastoralists rights on 10 March

2012 at New Delhi organized by Kalpaviruksha NGO ) and it is being submitted to

Ministry of Tribal Affairs, Government of India .
