Shepherds in the mountainous terrains of Bharmour tribal subdivision are being forced to deviate from their ancestral occupation of sheep rearing as the dimension of pasturelands has reduced drastically.

To provide maximum fodder in limited pastures, appropriate schemes need to be drawn up for the welfare of the shepherds in this subdivision in Chamba district.
