Mollabelia, Nischintapur, Basantapur, Brahmapur and Panpur of the Nadia district of West Bengal during January, 2011 to December, 2012 where a front line demonstration on Vanaraja poultry birds was proposed with two specific objectives, viz., (i) to study the demographic profile of the tribal poultry farmers and (ii) to study the housing and feeding systems followed by the farmers for keeping poultry under village conditions for socio-economic development of Scheduled Tribes (ST) community.
