Chhattisgarh, India to provide veterinary aid to cattle with mobile unit scheme

The government of Chhattisgarh, India, will launch a scheme for mobile veterinary units to provide veterinary aid to cattle, an official said on September 10.

Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel directed Chief Secretary Amitabh Jain to take necessary action in this regard. In the first stage of "Mukhyamantri Govansh Mobile Chikitsa Yojana", one or two mobile veterinary units will be provided in each district.

The service will be expanded in phase.

The state government has been running "Mukhyamantri Slum Swasthya Yojana" in urban areas and "Mukhyamantri Haat-Bazaar Clinic Yojna" in rural areas to ensure that all citizens , including those living in remote and inaccessible areas, have access to affordable and quality healthcare facilities through mobile medical units.

Later, the government decided to launch mobile veterinary units to provide quality medical facilities to cattle as a part of measures towards welfare and protection of livestock.

Healthcare services for livestock are being provided at government-run veterinary hospitals and 'gauthans' established under the Suraji Gaon Yojana.
