Key Benefits & Subsidies:
100% Free Doorstep Veterinary Service: Complete veterinary procedure including antiseptic medicines and local anesthesia administered entirely free of charge.
Direct Farmer Care Allowance: Financial honorarium / post-operative care allowance of ₹100 to ₹150 per animal deposited directly into the livestock owner's bank account.
Native Breed Preservation: Upgrades genetic purity of superior indigenous milch cattle (Gir, Kankrej, Jaffrabadi, Mehsani) through controlled selective breeding and artificial insemination.
Herd Management & Safety: Renders mature male calves docile and calm, making them safer for farm draft work and eliminating herd aggression.
