7th January 2025, Dehradun
ICAR-Indian Institute of Soil & Water Conservation organised a large-scale Animal Health Camp under the Scheduled Caste Sub-Plan (SCSP) here today.
Dr Indu Rawat, Senior Scientist and Team Leader, SCSP, inaugurated the event and emphasized the importance of organizing such camps, particularly for farmers who face challenges in accessing veterinary clinics located in distant areas. By bringing these services to their doorstep, local farmers can receive essential support, he added.
A veterinary doctor from the Government Veterinary Hospital, Sahaspur, Dehradun, engaged with the farmers to address their concerns related to animal husbandry, primarily focusing on goats, cows, and poultry. The session was highly beneficial, as farmers were able to discuss and resolve various challenges concerning the health and management of these animals.
As part of the event, essential medicines, feed supplements, and mineral blocks for animals were distributed to the beneficiaries.
A total of 100 farmers, including women and children, from the villages of Sundaraya, Kulhara, Kofti, Samaya, and Bhugtari in Kalsi block, Dehradun district, benefitted from the programme.
The programme was coordinated by Dr Indu Rawat and Dr Sadikul Islam, with valuable support from Shri Rakesh Kumar, CTO, and Shri Suresh Kumar, CTO.
