b. How we prepare Plan Documents


Bus ines s Plan or Detailed Projec t Report (DPR) is the final documents
which is necessary for sanction of bank loan and government subsidy. DPR
also gives the Project Implementation Schedule in detail to the promoter
and guides well enough right from concept stage till implementation stage.
We are serving for select projects only, and we take sufficient time for
studies well enough for around 1-2 months before we finalize DPR, which
is bespoke as per promoters preferences. There are lots of underlying
assumptions over which DPR is projected. We try our best to give sufficient
& foolproof justifications for the projections being made in DPR. This
exercise involves small portion of margin money investment even before
the project is sanctioned by bank.
Please note down what we do during initial 1-2 months; how we prepare all
relevant justifications, plan documents & finally DPR; and what are the
prerequisites that promoter has to fulfill before we both enter into service
agreement.
a) Inves tment Capac ity of the promoter. Out of the total project cost
we can assume promoters share i.e. margin money to be around 30% and
bank term loan around 70%. The total project cost does not include land
cost but include all other assets including pre-operative expenses &
working capital margin. Promoter should be financially sound enough to
bear margin money investment during the project implementation period
and also should be having good banking relationship to obtain bank term
loan. Then only it is worth and meaningful for both of us to enter into
purposeful relationship.
b) Government s ubs idy. For the commercial dairy farm, commercial goat
farm & commercial poultry farm there is hardly any government subsidy
available. There are few exceptions e.g. Government of Odisha, Bihar, UP,
etc. who are giving subsidy for commercial dairy farm operations to certain
extent. For the food processing e.g. rice milling, milk processing, etc. and
agricultural warehouse & marketing infrastructure there is considerable
government subsidy. In case if we establish direct linkages with farmers
then we can avail up to 50% subsidy. In general, you can say there is higher
subsidy in case of processing rather than livestock farms. As per the
geographical location and as per the nature of investment we will apply for
maximum possible subsidy; but the subsidy amount is not reflected in DPR
initially. At the time of applying to bank we have to project the financials
based upon margin money & bank term loan only. Hence please be cautious
enough while you inform your margin money investment availability. Please
dont deliberately escalate the figure; but on realistic basis inform your

v. How you can


order for our
services

margin money investment availability. Then only we can workout what


maximum subsidy we can avail under the given circumstances.

w. Completed
Projects

c ) V enture c apital. In case of processing projects e.g. milk processing,


rice mill, food grain warehouse, etc. where we can establish direct linkage
with farmers we complete necessary documents needed for availing venture
capital assistance as well. In addition to subsidy this too is good incentive
which promoter can avail. Right now we can avail 26% of margin money as
venture capital assistance.

Site ma p

d) Growth envis aged. Hope you have understood why we wish to know
promoters margin money investment and the nature of investment. We
endeavor for maximum possible utilization of government subsidies &
assistance. We conclude what would be the final exposure to bank term
loan. Then after within the total investment budget (taking into account
term loan, subsidy & margin money) we plan according to the growth
envisaged during projected 7-10 years.
In the livestock farms e.g. dairy farm & goat farm the development of
breeds of animals goes hand-in-hand with envisaged growth. If you are
planning to setup 100 cow dairy farm, then dont take it as its face value of
only 100 cows. In-house breed development is important to maintain longterm viability of dairy farm. Certainly it is not advisable to sell the female
calves either upon birth or after one year. Such female calves should be
retained till they become milch animals.
In the goat farm too, we plan for adequate housing, feeding & care
arrangements for total number of adults & kids as per growth projected
during projected years. Successful goat farm takes minimum 2 years to
establish and the income from goat farm begins after 9 months-1 year of
implementation.
When the goal is certain that we are going to develop the breed as per
growth envisaged in proposed livestock farms; we endeavor for:
- adequate housing & welfare plan for adults & kids as per projected
growth
- optimum arrangement of green fodder (with less dependence upon
concentrates & dry feeds)
- maintaining utmost hygiene, ease of daily operations and for best
practice for artificial insemination
- adopting best practices for animal care, welfare, medication, vaccination,
etc.
- ease in managing daily routine affairs of livestock farms with minimum
possible manual labor involvement
In case of milk processing plant too, if we are planning for 10000 lpd plant
then we plan for the civil construction as if we have to work for 20000 lpd
plant. In case if you want to expand later on then the same building will be
useful to you. Now-a-days main processing line equipments are available
which has in-built facilities to expand. We demonstrate flexibility to
increase the capacity later on while we plan for the total equipment budget

& civil construction budget.


Computation of total c apital c os t. Budget for animals & equipments
are more-or-less as per prevailing market rate and are backed by
quotations from the vendors. We guide you for proper mix in total animal
herd i.e. multiple breeds, mix of heifers & adults, etc. As regards
equipment, we plan for completeness. We have already commissioned the
select livestock & food processing projects, we can guide you well enough
for optimum budget for animals & equipments.
It is quite common among entrepreneurs to take the quotations of
equipments and animals over internet. There is no harm in taking
quotations over internet; but we check the completeness and suitability as
per promoters investment budget. We study the quotations, the
completeness, the specifications, the equipment diagram, power
consumption in total, etc. and then finalize the optimum equipment budget
as per promoters investment capacity.
You can really rely on our civil construction plan, design and budget.
Budget for land development & civil construction are as per bank norms
and as per laid down specifications. In case for food processing projects we
study quotations, equipment diagram, process flow chart simultaneously
and accordingly finalize the civil construction floor plan.
We prepare a separate description file s hed c ons truc tion s c hedule,
des c ription & explanation. This description contains detailed notes
along with pictures of each section. Here you can understand the breakup
of entire civil construction and after sensible reading & analysis you can
scale down construction cost.
One more issue is important to be discussed as regards civil construction
cost. Civil construction cost of main shed is within budget. In addition cost
of other utilities, which are equally important, e.g. boundary fencing, labor
room, utilities i.e. maternity & sick wards, office, feed & milk rooms,
drainage lines, internal road, open platform, water pipelines & storage tank,
electrical wiring & appliances, pits for silage & vermicompost, etc. are
equally significant. We also need to take account of green fodder, grazing
grass & azolla cultivation expenses. Hence you can understand what
components are discussed in civil construction plan and what
encompassing facilities we take into account while computing total civil
construction cost. Even in case of construction cost of main shed, the cost
of roofing truss & roofing sheets with our designs are very economical than
others. You can ask any of your friends who have erected the livestock
shed; he will say the cost of roofing truss & sheets are significant portion
of total construction cost. Our designs & estimations could save you a lot.
While we are delivering you the budgets for animals, equipments & civil
constructions, we are working on different fronts viz.
- Studies over green fodder & grazing grass cultivation schedule
- Studies over silage making, azolla cultivation & making indigenous
concentrate

- Studies over best artificial insemination practices & breed development


- Studies over farm efficient daily routine exercises and movement paths
- Studies over animal growth projection plan
- Detailed studies over equipment plan, equipment diagram, process flow,
power consumption, internal movement & accordingly civil construction
designs & layouts
- Civil construction cost estimate for different segments e.g. boundary
fencing, utilities, fodder cultivation, main building, etc.
- Adhering to bank norms while preparing all above budgets and estimates
- Guiding promoter to save capital cost & recurring cost both
- Helping promoter to understand the basics of his enterprise
Projec tions in projec t report: Let us brief the projections made in
project report. The projections for income are made on highly conservative
basis; even if the prevailing market rate of income is higher. The
projections for expenses are made aggressively, even if prevailing practice
could allow you to operate on low expense. This approach is justified when
bank processes your file for sanction of loan. All the assumptions are
described so that you can understand the basic operation cycle of your
business and can answer the banks questions accordingly.
While you interpret financial statistics, do keep in mind that these are
based upon conservative figures for income, aggressive figures for
expenses & higher capital cost. Dont assume these will prevail in future as
it is, rather will depend upon situation at that moment of time.
Servic e rending s c hedule & payment for s ervic e fee: We have
already mentioned 1-2 months studies period before we finalize DPR &
other final plan documents. This gives uniqueness and addresses each
issues of promoter well enough for effective implementation of project.
We strongly suggest you to go through following website, where you can
know basic prerequisites needed for project implementation and what
information we need before we take-up your project assignments:
https ://s ites .google.c om/s ite/das projec tc ons ultant/home/ques tionnaire
Please dont expect miracle or need for lengthy discussions. We are getting
large number of queries from startup entrepreneurs and finding very
difficult to convince them that they need to study the varied aspects of
project implementation and such studies take time.
Most of the queries we are getting are focused over subsidy and loan only.
We strongly assert that we dont take money for liaison for subsidy/loan.
We take plan documents making fee only when entrepreneur has adequate
land holding, sufficient margin money investment, own credibility with his
bank branch to take up loan, and clear vision for his growth plan and
investment budget. Of course, we guide for how to meet margin money
requirements, how to initiate talk with bankers, how to meet collateral
securities requirements, how to maintain proper accounting records for
monetary transactions, etc. Only you can take your project forward; no
other third person could guarantee the liaison for certain funds.

Role of any consultant is to devote needed time & efforts and then
delivering bespoke (i.e. unique as per case) plan documents & technical
guidelines. Payment of service fee is spread as per following schedule:
- Initial commitment amount in advance
- Second installment at the time of submission of plan documents as per
bank norms
- Third installment at the time of sanction of project by financing bank
- Final installment within 30 days of bank sanction
We can work for select project setup and hence informing below relevant
information for following:
a) Commercial Dairy Farm 100 cows or more
b) Commercial Goat Farm 100 breeding goats or more
c ) 3000 ton p.a. Vermicompost Production Unit

g) 2 ton paddy per hour or more Rice Milling Unit
h) 3000 ton or more Food Grains Warehouse as per scheme guidelines

a) Comme rcial Dairy Farm (100 cow s or 500 cow s)


In total we need 20 acre for 100 cow dairy farm and 100 acre for 500 cow
dairy farm. This includes land area needed for green fodder cultivation and
for shed construction both. This is general thumb rule. However in our
shed designs we have emphasized a lot over Silage, Azolla, Rack
Cultivation, Open Grazing, etc. These are planned side-by-side of housing
facilities. Obviously we need lesser area than what is needed in general i.e.
2 acre per 10 animals. However on your part please be prepared for higher
side. In case of shortage of land you can decide for owning the land area
needed for shed construction and long-term lease for land area needed for
green fodder cultivation.
Let us explain how we have planned for 500 cows dairy farm; then we are
explaining that either you can construct entire facilities at once for whole
500 cows or you can construct the facilities in multiple of 100 cows to
reach the level of 500 cows during 5-7 year period. It all depends upon the
investment capacity. You can assume that out of total 500 cows dairy farm
around 70% will be milking & 30% will be dry at any given moment of time.
Facilities planned in total area 441 x 490 i.e. 216090 sq. ft. i.e. 4.96 acre
for:
Dairy shed for 448 adult milch cows:
36366 sq. ft.
Dairy shed for 156 calves, heifers, dry cows:

(A) Civil c ons truc tion layout des igns . Let us have a look for how we
have designed the overall facilities in total and what are the subject matter
of our studies during initial 1-2 months before we finalize. We strongly
suggest you to study these files along with your shed construction
supervisor. Right from beginning he should understand what facilities are
going to be constructed at site.
a) Floor Plan, b) Internal roads , open platform & c ) Floor Plan with
outer dimens ions . Plan (a) & (b) are complimentary to each other; former
describes the facilities and later the internal movement paths. Plan (c) tells
the outer dimensions of the facilities planned (whereas plan (a) tells the
inside dimensions).

These plans will be delivered to you in A2 color. In separate Shed


Des c ription file we have described the snapshots of each sections in
detail for what purpose we have planned the facilities and what work will be
accomplished.
d) Columns s uper- impos ed over
floor plan. This helps a lot while you
erect the super-structures and inside
facilities. Here you are ensured that
columns are not interfering with inside
movement area.

e) Column pos itions , Columns


height & array of Plinth Beams . This
exercise is very important at beginning of
your construction activities. Plot size
should be earmarked as per given
dimensions and care should be taken that
bends are at 90 degree angle. Here
column of specified specifications are
positioned, with center-to-center
distance in between. With each column,
we have written respective height from
ground level. Proposed structure is light
but durable and of low cost. Columns
below the ground level are of RCC and above the ground level are of Steel.
Your construction supervisor should understand this plan at very first
stage. In separate Shed Description file we have described the snapshots
of each sections in detail for this purpose.

f) Elevations : Here foundations,


columns & beams are described.
How the outer wall could be
erected and how the inner
facilities could be erected, these

issues are described clearly. Here with reference of column position you
can understand roofing also. Roof truss and roof sheets are lighter in
weight than conventional gi/asbestos sheets.

g) Partition walls : Here you can


understand outer walls of shed, which
allows high level of ventilation from all
corners. We have planned for minimum
bricks. During adverse weather situations
we have planned for Tarpaulin Curtains
instead.

h) Lintel Beams . Here we have planned


for Steel Lintel Beams; and this will
support the steel Roof Truss & Roof
Sheets. Specifications for steel to be used
for Columns, Beams, & Truss are
described clearly.

i) Roof Trus s . Here we have designed &


described in detail for how you can
fabricate the roof truss. This design could
save significant cost of your roofing.

j) Plan for drainage lines , water


pipelines and elec tric al wiring. This
is for your ready reference. Total length
is also indicated for your convenience.
These areas e.g. boundary wall/fencing,
drainage lines, water pipelines, electrical wiring, internal road, open
platform constitute significant portion of civil construction cost, which are
usually omitted at first glance. That is why we have planned here for your
ready reference so that you can get total construction cost in reality.
(B) Civil c ons truc tion c os t s ummary. In total we have budgeted INR
145.00 lakh for following segments:
B1: Boundary Fenc ing over the plot area 441 x 490, using steel
columns & wire fencing over RCC Foundations, planting Creepers around
the fencing, Green Fodder Cultivation in separate 20-acre plot including
laying down irrigation facilities, supervisor remuneration, etc.
B2: Internal Fenc ing, Internal Kharanja Road, Internal Kharanja
Open Platform as planned in Floor Plan. Fencing includes steel columns &
wire fencing over RCC Foundations, Kharanja Road is planned from lowgrade bricks & sand, and the other components are Grazing Grass with
irrigation facilities, erection of Silage Pits, Azolla Pits, Shade Trees around
the periphery, supervisor remuneration, etc.
B3: Maternity Room, Offic e, Feed Room, Milk Room, Labor Room,
Rac k s , Managers res idenc e. Here we have planned Racks & Managers
Residence as complete RCC structure and the rest building out of Steel
Columns over RCC Foundations with use of brick wall wherever necessary.
We have planned for RCC roofing for Managers Residence (and such
rooftop is used for overhead water tank) and the rest rooftops are of steel
roof truss & metal roof sheets.
In this segment we have calculated cost of laying down water pipelines,
electrical wiring, drainage lines & waste pond. We have estimated the cost
of facilities needed for proper operations of dairy farm. We have planned &

estimated for waste pond & biogas digesters (including pipelines & stoves).
Commercial Hydroponic machines are costly and here with Racks we have
planned as best as possible for low cost substitute of hydroponic
machines.
B4: Shed for 448 Milc h Cows . Here the entire columns & beams are of
Steel fitted over rcc foundations. Roofing is of steel roof truss & metal roof
sheets. Here we have planned for minimum brick walls and for adverse
weather we have planned for tarpaulin curtains. Inside feeders & drinkers
are also planned for.
B5: Shed for 156 Calves , H eifers & Dry Cows . Here the entire
columns & beams are of Steel fitted over rcc foundations. Roofing is of
steel roof truss & metal roof sheets. Here we have planned for minimum
brick walls and for adverse weather we have planned for tarpaulin curtains.
Inside feeders & drinkers are also planned for.
You are getting the entire segment-wise estimate in bankable format and in
clear terms so that you can understand each segment easily. Civil
construction cost estimate is in bankable format and it justifies the total
civil construction cost as per norms and at the rate specified as per norms.
This document puts the monetary value to each segment as per norms. It is
useful document over which your financing bank takes opinion from
empanelled valuers.
It is accompanied with inves tment s c hedule before sanction of term loan
and investment schedule after sanction of term loan. Most of the margin
money investment is towards civil construction; hence this schedule is
prepared with clear segments of investments. It helps bank to value your
investments. It will also help you to submit Utilization Certificate to
financing bank time to time.
(C) Des c ription, Guidelines and Manuals . This description file is quite
elaborate. It includes snapshots & descriptions. Initial few pages describes
all the layout plans cited above in Section A. We suggest pasting all the
layout plans over the wall and then start reading this description file. While
reading you will understand daily routines & movement of men, materials &
animals. You will understand how regular feeding, cleaning, milking &
regular animal care exercises will be performed. You will learn area
earmarked for silage making, biogas digesters & azolla cultivation. You will
learn how animals will be given fresh green fodder, silage & grazing grass.
After describing all the layout plans we probe each segments with
snapshots. Entire civil construction schedule along with erection of all
desired facilities are explained with the help of pictures. Foundations &
structures accompanied by partition walls & inside facilities are explained
clearly with snapshots.
After that with the help of Operation Manuals we study relevance of
various animal welfare activities. We have emphasized for proper dairy farm
training along with contact particulars of few reputed training institutes.

We have informed fodder seeds providing companies as ready reference.


Finally we have discussed all the equipments & facilities along with
pictures and is explained with relevance and source.
This file is quite elaborate and is tailor-made as per unique requirements of
entrepreneurs.
(D) Quotation for des ired equipments . When
you have understood the civil designs, the
construction facilities, the fodder cultivation
schedule & strategies to be followed, syllabus for
staff training, need for dairy equipments, etc. as
described in above sections (A), (B) & (C) it is now
time to obtain the quotations of all relevant
equipments. We emphasize for obtaining quote of all
relevant & needed dairy equipments.
As far as our analysis goes the total cost for
equipments necessary to operate the proposed 600
animal dairy farm including equipments for fodder cultivation, utilities, etc.
will be around INR 75.00 lakh.
Budget for dairy equipments include: equipment for green fodder
cultivation, equipment for material handling, equipment for dairy farm
operations e.g. feeding, cleaning, watering, equipment for waste disposal,
equipment for milking & storage of raw milk, equipment for veterinary care
and for daily care of calves, heifers & adults, general electrical equipments
and facilities for managers residence, etc.
(E) Quotation for Dairy Animals . Let us
arrive at proper budget for dairy animals
prudently. You can assume price of adult
cows of 2nd lactation onwards as Rs.
50000/- each and of heifers of around 2
years age as Rs. 15000/- each. Purchasing
entire lot of 500 cows at once could cost you
around INR 250.00 lakh. Whereas purchasing 250 cows and 250 heifers
could cost you around INR 162.50 lakh. If you could bear the initial one
year expenses then you can think of purchasing 400 heifers and 100 cows,
so that your total cost could be around INR 110.00 lakh. We will study and
discuss the merits/demerits of purchasing adults & heifers, and arrive as
per your preferences.
To s ummarize (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). These are the subject matters
of our initial studies & discussion for 1-2 months before we prepare &
finalize the DPR for you. Total budget for the proposed setup could be
around INR 330.00 lakh to 470.00 lakh. Either you proceed at once with
whole facilities or divide the total phase to be incurred during 2-3 phases.
Plan should be done in holistic & wholesome manner; however
implementation could be divided in phases as per investment preferences
of promoter. During the period of studies & discussion of around 1-2

months we will resolve the following:


1. Negotiating with vendors for fodder seeds companies, agreement
with plantation labors, and arriving at proper schedule of fodder
cultivation schedule & for silage making schedule. We have to make
proper schedule for grazing grass cultivation and for rack cultivation
also.
2. Arriving at proper schedule for azolla cultivation
3. Understanding each component and arriving at proper schedule for
construction boundary fencing, obtaining quotations needed for
materials, agreement with construction supervisor, etc.
4. Along the periphery of boundary fencing we have planned for
creepers and the 15 feet wide belt for azolla pits & shade trees. We
have to arrive at proper conclusion for what varieties of creepers &
shade trees to develop.
5. We have to identify few staffs, preferably 4-5 staffs, who will
undergo various training programs. This may take 45-60 days, but
thorough training over various dairy farm activities will increase the
effectiveness. Out of the many courses being conducted in India, we
have to select 2-3 courses.
6. We have to locate the main gate and area needed for waste pond,
biogas digesters.
7. Construction supervisor should understand the construction
methods well enough. We are using mostly Steel in construction.
Hence we need to understand the total bill of quantity and obtain the
quotation from nearest place. In fact all the quotations needed for
completing construction should be ready right at the beginning.
There should be agreement for labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
8. Normally there are separate construction supervisor for water
pipelines, electrical wiring & drainage lines. There should be proper
agreement for materials needed, labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
9. Practically we have seen that there is separate supervisor for roof
truss & roof sheets. We should have prior plan & agreement for
materials needed, labor payment & supervisor remuneration.
10. There are lots of equipment & facilities of varied nature we need for
proper operation of dairy farm. We should develop thorough
understanding of the functions and should obtain quotation of all of
them. Here we have already prepared lots of explanations, lists &
budgets for civil infrastructure & for equipments. Our studies should
be directed towards meaningful conclusions with proper quote.
11. When the infrastructure is in place properly, then dairy animals
should be planned for judiciously. For many reasons we prefer
purchasing 50% adults and 50% heifers. If you have sufficient cash
then you can go for 75% heifers and 25% adults. We will explain the
benefits.
12. During studies period we should make proper schedule for animal
welfare activities also. We should develop proper chart for
medication and vaccination. We should ensure veterinary doctor is
available on demand. We have compiled lots of manuals in this

regard. Your staffs who will complete dairy training program will be
the great asset for you.
13. Finally how we are going to sell raw milk at maximum possible price
will be the subject matter of initial studies period.
14. Overall initial studies period focuses a lot over establishing
necessary infrastructure at minimum possible cost before we
purchase dairy animals, and then profitable vending of raw milk.
15. As per investment capacity we will decide the phases of establishing
necessary infrastructure and purchasing dairy animals thereof. Our
ultimate goal is 500 cow dairy farm. Even if we are beginning with
200 animals then how soon we are achieving the ultimate target.
(F) Let us s ummarize what plan doc uments you are getting: Initial
studies and discussions for around 1-2 months are important before we
finalize DPR. Above lists for our studies (1) to (15) are not exhaustive, but
indicates that we have to arrive at meaningful conclusions over each
relevant area before we prepare the final DPR. Here we are summarizing
what plan documents we are providing you for this purpose and then after
spending adequate time & efforts for resolving your case-to-case inquiries.
We will continue our studies till we are ready to prepare the DPR. Please

jus tific ations . Finally it is time now to deliver you the DPR after
thoughtful and meaningful studies & discussion period of around 1-2
months over above areas. Let us tell you the format of DPR which we are
submitting to your financing bank.
G1: Exec utive Summary. This section includes snapshot view of whole
business. Topics covered are Name of the promoter, Constitution of the
proposed company e.g. individual or firm or company, Nature of livestock
industry and commercial dairy farming in particular, Operation cycle of
proposed project in brief, Name & qualifications of the promoters and their
contribution to the proposed project, Cost of the project and Means of
finance.

promoter(s) are mainly discussed under this heading. Their previous
business experience and performance, if any, will be explained here. The
auditor(s) report of the previous business and the reason for closure will
also be clarified. Whether, the proposed venture is related with existing
business and will help them do better, will also be noted here.
G3: Mark eting and Selling Arrangements for Raw Milk . What are the
critical factors that determines demand of raw milk and how the raw milk is
produced & marketed under the proposed project is explained in this
section. Future demand of organic milk is also discussed here. How we are
going to face the threats & competition in the market. What are the
economic benefits to the nearby community as a whole due to proposed
project? We will also explain how we are going to employ the Sales Agents
at various strategic points for selling raw milk. In addition we will also
demonstrate the selling agreement with institutional buyers of raw milk.
G4: Infras truc ture fac ilities and the produc tion proc es s of raw
milk . What infrastructure facilities e.g. civil structures & dairy equipment
facilities are being employed to produce clean raw milk at competitive cost?
What breeds of dairy animals are being planned for, their lifecycle,
characteristics of particular breeds? What measures are to be taken for in-

house breed development? How effective the movement process of men,


materials & animals are visualized? What processes are involved for daily

b) 120 Bre e ding Goat (Doe s) + 6 Bucks Farm


In total we need 5 acre for 120 breeding goat farm. This includes land area
needed for green fodder cultivation and for shed construction both. In our
shed designs we have emphasized a lot over Silage, Azolla, Open Grazing,
etc. These are planned side-by-side of housing facilities. Obviously we
need lesser area than what we have written. However on your part please be
prepared for higher side. In case of shortage of land you can decide for
owning the land area needed for shed construction and long-term lease for
land area needed for green fodder cultivation.
Let us explain how we have planned for 120 breeding goat farm; then we
are explaining that either you can construct entire facilities at once for
whole 120 breeding goats or you can construct the facilities in multiple of
60 breeding goats to reach the level of 120 breeding goats during 3-4 year
period. It all depends upon the investment capacity.
Facilities planned in total area 200 x 230 i.e. 46000 sq. ft. i.e. 1.06 acre
for:
Built-up Shed for 120 breeding goats, 120 kids of age < 45 days
10127.19 sq. ft.
6 bucks, 360 sale-able goats of age > 45 days

(A) Civil c ons truc tion layout des igns . Let us have a look for how we
have designed the overall facilities in total and what are the subject matter
of our studies during initial 1-2 months before we finalize. We strongly

suggest you to study these files along with your shed construction
supervisor. Right from beginning he should understand what facilities are
going to be constructed at site.
a) Floor Plan & b) Internal roads , open platform. Plan (a) & (b) are
complimentary to each other; former describes the facilities and later the
internal movement paths.

These plans will be delivered to you in A3 color. In separate Shed


Des c ription file we have described the snapshots of each sections in
detail for what purpose we have planned the facilities and what work will be
accomplished.
c ) Columns s uper- impos ed over floor
plan. This helps a lot while erecting superstructures. Laying down columns is first step
of construction. When all the columns are
completed the job of erecting superstructures (as per floor plan) is much easier
with this diagram.
We have planned for RCC Columns below the
ground and above the ground level we have
planned for Tata Structura Iron Tubes & Pipes.
In fact the whole super-structure is of iron
i.e. columns, tie beams, roof truss, roof sheet support pipes, roof sheet is
of aluminum instead.
We have planned for maximum iron & wire fencing and minimum use of
brick wall.

d) Column pos itions , Columns height &


array of Plinth Beams . This exercise is
very important at beginning of your
construction activities. Plot size should be
earmarked as per given dimensions and care
should be taken that bends are at 90 degree
angle. Here column of specified
specifications are positioned, with centerto-center distance in between. With each
column, we have written respective height
from ground level. Proposed structure is
light but durable and of low cost. Columns below the ground level are of
RCC and above the ground level are of Steel. Your construction supervisor
should understand this plan at very first stage. In separate Shed
Description file we have described the snapshots of each sections in detail
for this purpose.

e) Elevations : This is how your


structure will look like after
construction. Each segment is described
clearly i.e. iron tubes of what
specifications, rcc beams of what
specifications, foundation
specifications, etc.
Making a layout plan is one aspect and another aspect is proper
description. We hope you will value our efforts for proper description of
each layout plans.
We are repeating you have to study the whole layout plans & description
along with your construction contractor. We have budgeted for Rs. 1.50
lakh for construction supervision hence please appoint knowledgeable
construction supervisor who can monitor construction activities well
enough.
f) Partition walls : Here you can understand
outer walls of shed, which allows high level
of ventilation from all corners. We have
planned for minimum bricks. During adverse
weather situations we have planned for
Tarpaulin Curtains instead.

g) Lintel Beams . Here we have planned for


Steel Lintel Beams; and this will support the
steel Roof Truss & Roof Sheets. Specifications
for steel to be used for Columns, Beams, &
Truss are described clearly.

h) Roof Trus s and s upport tubes for


Roof Sheets . Here we have designed &
described in detail for how you can fabricate
the roof truss. This design could save
significant cost of your roofing.
All the components of iron tubes and pipes
along with roofing sheets are calculated in
quantity and monetary both.
That is why we have suggested you to study
all the plans and estimates with experienced
construction contractor.
Once the plan is understood and agreed upon it will not take longer
duration to complete and your cost also will not escalate from what you
have budgeted for.

i) Plan for drainage lines , water


pipelines and elec tric al wiring. This
is for your ready reference. Total length
is also indicated for your convenience.
These areas e.g. boundary wall/fencing, drainage lines, water pipelines,
electrical wiring, internal road, open platform constitute significant portion
of civil construction cost, which are usually omitted at first glance. That is
why we have planned here for your ready reference so that you can get total
construction cost in reality.
(B) Civil c ons truc tion c os t s ummary. In total we have budgeted INR
39.00 lakh for following segments:
B1: Boundary Fenc ing over the plot area 200 x 230, using steel

columns & wire fencing over RCC Foundations, planting Creepers around
the fencing, Green Fodder Cultivation in separate 5-acre plot including
laying down irrigation facilities, supervisor remuneration, etc.
B2: Internal Fenc ing, Internal Kharanja Road, Internal Kharanja
Open Platform as planned in Floor Plan. Fencing includes steel columns &
wire fencing over RCC Foundations, Kharanja Road is planned from lowgrade bricks & sand, and the other components are Grazing Grass with
irrigation facilities, erection of Silage Pits, Azolla Pits, Shade Trees around
the periphery, supervisor remuneration, etc.
B3: Maternity Room, Offic e, Feed Room, Bath Tub, Labor Room.
Here we have planned the entire building out of Steel Columns over RCC
Foundations with use of brick wall wherever necessary. We have planned for
the rooftops of steel roof truss & metal roof sheets.
In this segment we have calculated cost of laying down water pipelines,
electrical wiring, drainage lines & waste pond. We have estimated the cost
of facilities needed for proper operations of goat farm. We have planned &
estimated for waste pond & biogas digesters (including pipelines & stoves).
B4: Shed for 600 animals (k ids & adults both). Here the entire
columns & beams are of Steel fitted over rcc foundations. Roofing is of
steel roof truss & metal roof sheets. Here we have planned for minimum
brick walls and for adverse weather we have planned for tarpaulin curtains.
Inside feeders & drinkers are also planned for.
You are getting the entire segment-wise estimate in bankable format and in
clear terms so that you can understand each segment easily. Civil
construction cost estimate is in bankable format and it justifies the total
civil construction cost as per norms and at the rate specified as per norms.
This document puts the monetary value to each segment as per norms. It is
useful document over which your financing bank takes opinion from
empanelled valuers.
It is accompanied with inves tment s c hedule before sanction of term loan
and investment schedule after sanction of term loan. Most of the margin
money investment is towards civil construction; hence this schedule is
prepared with clear segments of investments. It helps bank to value your
investments. It will also help you to submit Utilization Certificate to
financing bank time to time.
(C) Des c ription, Guidelines and Manuals . This description file is quite
elaborate. It includes snapshots & descriptions. Initial few pages describes
all the layout plans cited above in Section A. We suggest pasting all the
layout plans over the wall and then start reading this description file. While
reading you will understand daily routines & movement of men, materials &
animals. You will understand how regular feeding, cleaning & regular
animal care exercises will be performed. You will learn area earmarked for
silage making, biogas digesters & azolla cultivation. You will learn how
animals will be given fresh green fodder, silage & grazing grass.

After describing all the layout plans we probe each segments with
snapshots. Entire civil construction schedule along with erection of all
desired facilities are explained with the help of pictures. Foundations &
structures accompanied by partition walls & inside facilities are explained
clearly with snapshots.
After that with the help of Operation Manuals we study relevance of
various animal welfare activities. We have emphasized for proper goat farm
training along with contact particulars of few reputed training institutes.
We have informed fodder seeds providing companies as ready reference.
Finally we have discussed all the equipments & facilities along with
pictures and is explained with relevance and source.
This file is quite elaborate and is tailor-made as per unique requirements of
entrepreneurs.
(D) Quotation for des ired equipments .
When you have understood the civil designs,
the construction facilities, the fodder
cultivation schedule & strategies to be
followed, syllabus for staff training, need for
goat farm equipments, etc. as described in
above sections (A), (B) & (C) it is now time to
obtain the quotations of all relevant
equipments. We emphasize for obtaining quote
of all relevant & needed goat farm equipments.
As far as our analysis goes the total cost for
equipments necessary to operate the proposed
600 animal goat farm including equipments for
fodder cultivation, utilities, etc. will be around INR 20.00 lakh. Cost of
tractor-trailor, mechanized fodder harvester are high; rest are within
budget.
Budget for goat farm equipments include: equipment for green fodder
cultivation, equipment for material handling, equipment for goat farm
operations e.g. feeding, cleaning, watering, equipment for waste disposal,
equipment for veterinary care and for daily care of kids & adults, general
electrical equipments, etc.
(E) Quotation for Breeding Goats and Male Buc k s . Let us arrive at
proper budget for animals prudently. Most of the promoters take quotation
over internet quite comfortably. On our part we suggest for suitable
marketplace and care to be taken while purchasing.
Please note the quotations for animals and equipments has to be taken by
promoter himself as per his preferences and level of satisfaction. On our
part we provide relevant information.
To s ummarize (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). These are the subject matters
of our initial studies & discussion for 1-2 months before we prepare &

finalize the DPR for you. Total budget for the proposed setup could be
around INR 60.00 lakh to 75.00 lakh. Either you proceed at once with whole
facilities or divide the total phase to be incurred during 2 phases. Plan
should be done in holistic & wholesome manner; however implementation
could be divided in phases as per investment preferences of promoter.
During the period of studies & discussion of around 1-2 months we will
resolve the following:
1. Negotiating with vendors for fodder seeds companies, agreement
with plantation labors, and arriving at proper schedule of fodder
cultivation schedule & for silage making schedule. We have to make
proper schedule for grazing grass cultivation also.
2. Arriving at proper schedule for azolla cultivation
3. Understanding each component and arriving at proper schedule for
construction boundary fencing, obtaining quotations needed for
materials, agreement with construction supervisor, etc.
4. Along the periphery of boundary fencing we have planned for
creepers and for azolla pits & shade trees. We have to arrive at proper
conclusion for what varieties of creepers & shade trees to develop.
5. We have to identify few staffs, preferably 1-2 staffs, who will
undergo various training programs. This may take 45-60 days, but
thorough training over various goat farm activities will increase the
effectiveness. Out of the many courses being conducted in India, we
have to select 2-3 courses.
6. We have to locate the main gate and area needed for waste pond,
biogas digesters.
7. Construction supervisor should understand the construction
methods well enough. We are using mostly Steel in construction.
Hence we need to understand the total bill of quantity and obtain the
quotation from nearest place. In fact all the quotations needed for
completing construction should be ready right at the beginning.
There should be agreement for labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
8. Normally there are separate construction supervisor for water
pipelines, electrical wiring & drainage lines. There should be proper
agreement for materials needed, labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
9. Practically we have seen that there is separate supervisor for roof
truss & roof sheets. We should have prior plan & agreement for
materials needed, labor payment & supervisor remuneration.
10. There are lots of equipment & facilities of varied nature we need for
proper operation of goat farm. We should develop thorough
understanding of the functions and should obtain quotation of all of
them. Here we have already prepared lots of explanations, lists &
budgets for civil infrastructure & for equipments. Our studies should
be directed towards meaningful conclusions with proper quote.
11. When the infrastructure is in place properly, then purchase of goats
should be planned for judiciously.
12. During studies period we should make proper schedule for animal
welfare activities also. We should develop proper chart for
medication and vaccination. We should ensure veterinary doctor is

available on demand. We have compiled lots of manuals in this


regard. Your staffs who will complete goat farm training program will
be the great asset for you.
13. Finally how we are going to sell the live animals at maximum
possible price will be the subject matter of initial studies period.
14. Overall initial studies period focuses a lot over establishing
necessary infrastructure at minimum possible cost before we
purchase breeding goats & male bucks.
15. As per investment capacity we will decide the phases of establishing
necessary infrastructure and purchasing goats thereof. Our ultimate
goal is 120 breeding goat farm. Even if we are beginning with 60
breeding goat farm then how soon we are achieving the ultimate
target.
(F) Let us s ummarize what plan doc uments you are getting: Initial
studies and discussions for around 1-2 months are important before we
finalize DPR. Above lists for our studies (1) to (15) are not exhaustive, but
indicates that we have to arrive at meaningful conclusions over each
relevant area before we prepare the final DPR. Here we are summarizing
what plan documents we are providing you for this purpose and then after
spending adequate time & efforts for resolving your case-to-case inquiries.

c) Ve rmicompost Production Unit capacity 3000 ton


p.a.
Vermicompost is entirely different from Garden Compost. Later is natural

degradation process of waste & dung over a period of time, whereas


process of vermicomposting is much faster where the waste & dung passes
through the gut of earthworms.
For vermicompost, we can use only certain species of earthworms and have
to feed them with appropriate mix of agricultural waste & animal dung.
Process of conversion of waste to manure is faster because the inputs are
passing through gut of earthworm. Each earthworm weighs about 0.5 to 0.6
gram, eats waste equivalent to its body weight and produces cast
equivalent to about 50% of the waste it consumes in a day.
While you order for plan documents & technical guidelines please note the
following points:
a) We have taken plot size 220 x 198 i.e. 43560 sq. ft. i.e. 1 acre. We have
planned for adequate area needed for reception, production, drying,
packing & storage. Minimum we need 1 acre land for planning the structure
to produce 3000 ton vermicompost per annum. Here we have planned for
pits made of bricks instead of plastic. Later takes more area to produce
same quantity of vermicompost.
b) Assuming 300 working days in a year, we need to produce final
vermicompost product 10 ton daily. To produce this much quantity we
need around 10.5 ton agricultural waste and 9.5 ton animal dung daily. This
is the great challenge despite attractive profit margin in this industry. If
availability of desired raw materials is the constraint then we can plan for
setting up lower capacity production unit.
c) Eligible subsidy from Bihar Government is available when you produce
minimum specified quantity of final vermicompost produce as per specified
standards. Hence thorough production plan strategies have to be worked
out right at initial plan stage. This is important to consider, that eligible
subsidy will be given only after certified production. Till that time all the
infrastructure cost has to be met by margin money & bank term loan only.
d) Prospective entrepreneur has to evaluate availability of raw materials,
land holding, investment capacity before ordering us the plan documents &
technical guidelines. Needless to say, entrepreneur has to abide by bank
norms. We deliver our services from concept stage till sanction of project
by your financing bank through foolproof technical guidelines & plan
documents.
Fac ilities planned in total area 220 x 198 i.e. 43560 sq. ft. i.e. 1 acre

(A) Civil c ons truc tion layout des igns . Let us have a look for how we

have designed the overall facilities in total and what are the subject matter
of our studies during initial 1-2 months before we finalize. We strongly
suggest you to study these files along with your shed construction
supervisor. Right from beginning he should understand what facilities are
going to be constructed at site.
a) Floor Plan & b) Internal roads , open platform. Plan (a) & (b) are
complimentary to each other; former describes the facilities and later the
internal movement paths.

These plans will be delivered to you in A3 color. In separate Shed


Des c ription file we have described the snapshots of each sections in
detail for what purpose we have planned the facilities and what work will be
accomplished.
c ) V ermi was h drainage lines . This is of
equal importance. We are using lots of water
to keep the beds moist enough for
earthworms to survive. Along the sides of
production pits we have planned for
drainage lines for vermi wash, which is very
good fertilizer for agricultural use.

d) Columns s uper- impos ed over floor


plan. This helps a lot while you erect the
super-structures and inside facilities. Here
you are ensured that columns are not
interfering with inside movement area.

e) Column pos itions , height of eac h


c olumn from ground level & array of
Plinth Beams . This exercise is very
important at beginning of your
construction activities. Plot size should be
earmarked as per given dimensions and
care should be taken that bends are at 90
degree angle. Here column of specified
specifications are positioned, with centerto-center distance in between. With each
column, we have written respective height from ground level. Proposed
structure is light but durable and of low cost. Columns and Plinth Beams
are of RCC. Your construction supervisor should understand this plan at
very first stage. In separate Shed Description file we have described the
snapshots of each sections in detail for this purpose.
Our solutions are versatile so that you can set your priorities in right
direction at your unique site location and at least possible economic
budget without compromising with inside airflow, ventilation & thermal
insulation.
f) Elevations . Here foundations,
columns & beams are described.
How the outer wall could be erected
and how the inner facilities could
be erected, these issues are
described clearly. Here with
reference of column position you
can understand roofing also. Roof
truss and roof sheets are lighter in
weight than conventional
gi/asbestos sheets.

g) Partition walls . Here you can


understand outer walls of shed, which
allows high level of ventilation from all
corners. Here we have planned 4 feet high
brick wall and above brick wall we have
planned for net fencing for all round
ventilation. In case of pack house &
warehouse it is entirely brick wall upto
roof level.

h) Plan for lintel beams . This is for your


ready reference. Array of plinth beams
already explained in column positions file.
Proposed lintel beams will comfortably
support the roof truss/roof sheets. In
separate file we have explained complete
designs for lintel beams, iron roof truss
along with segment-wise budget in
complete manner. We have estimated total
quantity of Steel needed and Roof Sheets
needed and the provision for contract labor charges.

i) Roof Trus s and s upport tubes for


Roof Sheets . Here we have designed &
described in detail for how you can
fabricate the roof truss. This design could
save significant cost of your roofing.
All the components of iron tubes and pipes
along with roofing sheets are calculated in
quantity and monetary both.
That is why we have suggested you to study all the plans and estimates
with experienced construction contractor.
Once the plan is understood and agreed upon it will not take longer
duration to complete and your cost also will not escalate from what you
have budgeted for.

(B) Civil c ons truc tion c os t s ummary. In total we have budgeted INR
65.70 lakh for following segments:
B1: Boundary walls Entire produc tion pits & drying pits are covered
to prevent any predators e.g. birds, lizards, rats, cats, dogs, etc. to come
inside the premises. It is 4 feet high brick wall and above the brick wall we
have planned for net fencing till roof level. Roofing is also covered with net
fencing over the gable portion. It is important to safeguard the earthworms
from all predators.
B2: Produc tion pits and drying pits are planned out of bricks with
plaster on both side.
B3: Pac k hous e and warehous e. These too are planned out of brick wall
up to roof level, with provision for cement flooring, doors & windows.
Entire production pits, drying pits, pack house & warehouse have roofing
sheets on top supported over steel roof truss and steel lintel beams. We
have separately estimated the total quantity of steel, roof sheets and labor
contract payment. These are of Tata company having network throughout
India.
B4: Utilities and k haranja road. We have planned for water pipelines,
electrical wiring, and kharanja road out of low grade bricks & sand.
You are getting the entire segment-wise estimate in bankable format and in
clear terms so that you can understand each segment easily. Civil
construction cost estimate is in bankable format and it justifies the total
civil construction cost as per norms and at the rate specified as per norms.
This document puts the monetary value to each segment as per norms. It is
useful document over which your financing bank takes opinion from
empanelled valuers.
It is accompanied with inves tment s c hedule before sanction of term loan
and investment schedule after sanction of term loan. Most of the margin
money investment is towards civil construction; hence this schedule is
prepared with clear segments of investments. It helps bank to value your
investments. It will also help you to submit Utilization Certificate to
financing bank time to time.
(C) Des c ription, Guidelines and Manuals . This description file is quite
elaborate. It includes snapshots & descriptions. Initial few pages describes
all the layout plans cited above in Section A. We suggest pasting all the
layout plans over the wall and then start reading this description file. While
reading you will understand daily routines & movement. You will
understand how regular exercises from reception, production, drying,
packing & storage will be performed. You will learn area earmarked for each
activity.
With the help of Operation Manuals we study relevance of particular
species of earthworms and select agricultural waste & animal dung to

produce best quality vermicompost.


Finally we have discussed all the equipments & facilities and is explained
with relevance and source.
This file is quite elaborate and is tailor-made as per unique requirements of
entrepreneurs.
(D) Quotation for des ired
equipments . When you have
understood the civil designs, the
construction facilities, need for desired
equipments, etc. as described in above
sections (A), (B) & (C) it is now time to
obtain the quotations of all relevant
equipments. We emphasize for obtaining
quote of all relevant & needed
equipments.
As far as our analysis goes the total cost for equipments necessary to
operate the proposed 3000 ton p.a. vermicompost production unit
including material handling equipments, utilities, etc. will be around INR
20.00 lakh.
Budget for equipments include: equipment for material handling,
equipment for sieving, packing, etc.
(E) Quotation for Earthworms . Let us arrive at proper budget for
suitable breeds of earthworm prudently. Most of the promoters take
quotation over internet quite comfortably. On our part we suggest for
suitable marketplace and care to be taken while purchasing.
Please note the quotations for animals and equipments has to be taken by
promoter himself as per his preferences and level of satisfaction. On our
part we provide relevant information.
To s ummarize (A), (B), (C), (D) and (E). These are the subject matters
of our initial studies & discussion for 1-2 months before we prepare &
finalize the DPR for you. Total budget for the proposed setup could be
around INR 85.00 lakh. During the period of studies & discussion of around
1-2 months we will resolve the following:
1. Understanding each component and arriving at proper schedule for
construction, obtaining quotations needed for materials, agreement
with construction supervisor, etc.
2. We have to locate the main gate and area to be earmarked for raw
materials receiving pits.
3. Construction supervisor should understand the construction
methods well enough. We are using mostly Steel in construction.
Hence we need to understand the total bill of quantity and obtain the
quotation from nearest place. In fact all the quotations needed for

completing construction should be ready right at the beginning.


There should be agreement for labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
Normally there are separate construction supervisor for water
pipelines, electrical wiring & drainage lines. There should be proper
agreement for materials needed, labor payment & supervisor
remuneration.
Practically we have seen that there is separate supervisor for roof
truss & roof sheets. We should have prior plan & agreement for
materials needed, labor payment & supervisor remuneration.
There are lots of equipment & facilities of varied nature we need for
proper operation. We should develop thorough understanding of the
functions and should obtain quotation of all of them. Here we have
already prepared lots of explanations, lists & budgets for civil
infrastructure & for equipments. Our studies should be directed
towards meaningful conclusions with proper quote.
When the infrastructure is in place properly, then purchase of
earthworms should be planned for judiciously.
Finally how we are going to sell the finished product vermicompost
at maximum possible price will be the subject matter of initial
studies period.
Overall initial studies period focuses a lot over establishing
necessary infrastructure at minimum possible cost.

(F) Let us s ummarize what plan doc uments you are getting: Initial
studies and discussions for around 1-2 months are important before we
finalize DPR. Above lists for our studies (1) to (9) are not exhaustive, but
indicates that we have to arrive at meaningful conclusions over each
relevant area before we prepare the final DPR. Here we are summarizing
what plan documents we are providing you for this purpose and then after
spending adequate time & efforts for resolving your case-to-case inquiries.
