The low presence of camels at Pushkar comes even as the results of the 2018 National Livestock Census released recently noted as sharp drop in India's camel population.

Vikas Choudhary
Most camel breeders this reporter spoke to at Pushkar, cited the same reasons for the population decline: Increasing use of vehicles both for transportation and agriculture, the diminishing pasturelands for camels, and in case of Rajasthan, the Rajasthan Camel (Prohibition of Slaughter and Regulation of Temporary Migration or Export) Act, 2015.

With just 4,000 camels on display, the impact of India’s dwindling camel population was visible in this year’s Pushkar fair, the country’s largest animal market. India’s camel population has declined from 0.4 million in 2012 to 0.25 million in 2019, a 34 per cent drop, suggests the Livestock Census. Camel breeders at the fair blamed shrinking pastoral land and increased use of vehicles in the farm sector for the population dip

The particulate pollution in the region, where 40 per cent of India’s population lives, is twice as much as in the rest of the country
