Heifer’s association with Nepal began in 1957-58 with the gift of high-yielding, improved breeds of cattle, sheep and pigs for cross-breeding along with parent stock of poultry and an incubator upon the request of Government of Nepal with the aim to introduce high yielding genetic material to native animal populations. The livestock were placed in Government farms. Later in 1993, the first community development project, “Baruwa Goat Raising Project,” was implemented in Gitanagar, Chitwan.
