Big relief for livestock farmers in Rajasthan: 197 new veterinary sub-centers and 394 posts sanctioned in 28 districts.
In Rajasthan, plans have been announced to open 197 new veterinary sub-centers in 28 districts and create 394 new positions to improve access to healthcare services for livestock farmers. This is expected to expedite treatment, vaccination, and emergency services in villages and remote areas.
A significant step has been taken in Rajasthan towards strengthening animal health services for the benefit of livestock farmers. According to available information/media reports, a plan to open 197 new veterinary sub-centers in 28 districts of the state has been approved. The approval also includes the creation of 394 posts for the operation of these sub-centers.
What will be the benefits for livestock farmers?
This initiative is expected to improve access to veterinary services in rural areas, including:
• Prompt treatment and first aid for animals
• Faster vaccination and disease control campaigns
• Easier access to delivery assistance, consultation, and referrals
• Closer access to health facilities for remote villages/hamlets
Why is this step important?
In many areas, timely treatment is not available due to the distance of veterinary hospitals/sub-centers. The opening of new sub-centers will reduce delays in treating animal diseases, emergencies, and seasonal illnesses, potentially reducing costs and losses for livestock farmers.
Important advice for livestock farmers
1) Keep your contact information updated with the nearest veterinary hospital/sub-center in your area.
2) Complete the vaccination schedule (FMD, HS, etc.) on time.
3) Do not delay if you notice the first symptoms of illness—report it immediately.
