<h1>Livestock Welfare Scheme Supports Stray Cattle, Breed Improvement, and Rural Jobs with Financial Aid and Training</h1> A state government will implement a livestock welfare scheme aimed at protecting stray and abandoned cattle while promoting breed improvement and rural employment through organic farming and cow-based industries. The scheme provides monthly honoraria to cowherds and cattle attendants and daily payments to cattle shelters established on government land with proper infrastructure. Eligible operators include registered cowshed committees, NGOs, trusts, farmer producer companies, and cooperatives. Financial aid is offered for fodder cultivation adjacent to shelters, which will also serve as training centers for villagers in cow-based product manufacturing and farming techniques. The program prioritizes cattle safety, including those seized from illegal transport, and seeks to enhance rural economic stability and self-reliance.
