What the document says, word for word

Only for a landless family — no farm land of any kind anywhere in Maharashtra — and one member (man or woman) per family (cl. 4(ii)); the family pays the remaining 25% (6(3)). About 1 guntha (1,000 sq ft) is enough for a 20 + 1 flock’s shed and fenced yard (6(4)–(5)). Only for families of the Nomadic Tribes (NT-C) category — Dhangar and similar communities as notified by the state — in all districts except Mumbai City and Mumbai Suburban. Funds come from the VJNT / OBC welfare department; the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Maharashtra Sheep & Goat Development Corporation or the District Deputy Commissioner (Animal Husbandry) runs it.
