In a bid to support dairy farmers, the Animal Husbandry department will ensure veterinary ambulance service at all blocks across the State. Through the mobile units, the department aims to provide veterinary facilities, including the service of a doctor, at the doorstep of farmers.
“As part of the first phase, 29 ambulances will soon be operational with financial assistance from the Central government. Moreover, state-of-the-art ambulance facilities called Tele-Veterinary Units will be started at all district centres spending ₹1 crore,” said Minister for Animal Husbandry and Dairy Development J. Chinchurani here on Friday.
She was speaking at the State-level inauguration of identity card disbursal for the staff of dairy cooperatives.
