Block Level Brooder House (BLBH), Panisagar was established in the year 2012. 04 Nos unemployed youth were selected by PRI Body to look after the BLBH as caretaker. Day old Kuroiler chicks are reared in the BLBH up to the age of 49 days and distributed to the farmers under different Departmental and Extra-departmental scheme @ Rs. 80/-per chick. All the four types of poultry vaccine are given on 7^th, 14^th, 28^th & 45^th days as per schedule.

Generally 5-6 batches are reared in a financial year and the profits are distributed among the caretakers in each batch.

Here, I am mentioning the status report of this BLBH for the year 2017-18. Which is as follows:

No of batches reared	No of chicks reared	No of chicks sold	Total sale (Rs.)

On an average Rs. 20,000/- to Rs. 22, 000/- profits are earning per batch i.e. each caretaker got Rs. 5000/- to Rs. 5500/- per batch which create a secondary employment in favour of the caretakers.
