Assam's Nagi Duck and Rajdigheli Goose Recognized Nationally

The Nagi duck and Rajdigheli goose, which are special breeds found in Assam, India, have been officially recognized by a national organization called NBAGR.

This means these breeds are now known and valued all over the country.

The Nagi duck is known for laying a lot of eggs, about 150 each year.

Scientists and researchers have been studying these breeds for a long time, almost 25 years, to get this recognition.

This is a big deal because it helps people in Assam who raise these birds and makes these breeds famous.

Earlier, other animals from Assam like cattle, buffalo, and pigs have also been recognized in this way.
