What facilities will be provided to the women after getting the animals?
Not only will the selected women be provided with animals, but short training workshops will also be organized along with them, which will include the following topics:
- Animal care
- Diet planning
- Basic principles of milk and meat sales
- Linkage to health and veterinary facilities
This training will play a key role in making women self-sufficient
Social Impact of this Scheme
This scheme is not limited to giving animals only, but it is a means of making women economically strong and empowered. It is an important step towards strengthening the cottage industry, rural economy, and social structure.
Many women have not only improved their children’s education with the income they earn from animals but also brought about significant changes in their household conditions. Women have made their mark by selling milk, lassi, curd, ghee, etc. in local markets.
A new beginning, a dignified future
This program is a new hope for women who are facing difficulties after widowhood or separation. An animal is not only a source of employment for them but also a means of restoring their dignity, self-confidence, and social status.
