Chhattisgarh launches ‘Gaudham Yojana’ – Livestock protection, breed improvement and rural economy to get a boost

Gaudham Yojana to bring a new dimension to livestock conservation, breed improvement and employment – Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai

Raipur (thestates.news) | Under the leadership of Chief Minister Shri Vishnudev Sai, the Chhattisgarh government is set to launch the Gaudham Yojana to strengthen the rural economy and give a new direction to livestock protection. This ambitious initiative will not only promote livestock safety and breed improvement but will also open up new employment opportunities in villages through organic farming, fodder development, and cow-based industries. The scheme has been designed in such a way that it ensures the care of stray and abandoned cattle, while also providing a stable source of regular income to cowherds and cattle attendants, thereby bringing economic stability and self-reliance to rural life. The draft of the Gaudham Yojana has already been approved by the Finance and Livestock Development Department.

The Gaudham Yojana aims to ensure the scientific conservation and enhancement of cattle breeds, promote cow-based products, encourage fodder development programmes, develop Gaudhams as training centres, generate rural employment, and prevent crop damage as well as loss of life and livestock in accidents.
