Now Veterinary ambulance will reach on a call in MP: Government will give 900 rupees per month to cow herders doing natural farming
In Madhya Pradesh, now an ambulance will be provided on a call to provide treatment to sick and injured cattle.
Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan launched this scheme on Friday at the Cow Protection Sankalp Sammelan organized at Lal Parade Ground in Bhopal. He said, ‘If you call 1962, the veterinary ambulance will reach where the sick cow is. The moving hospital will reach them. There will be a separate ambulance for each block. If a call comes from a cowshed or a farmer or a cowherd, an ambulance will reach immediately and will do the work of treatment.
Chouhan informed that 406 ambulances have been allotted for different parts of the state. Each ambulance will have a veterinarian, paraveterinary staff and assistant operators. Note down the call center toll free number 1962. We had made this promise in the Sankalp Patra during the last elections and have fulfilled it today.
Government will give subsidy to tribals for buying cows.The Chief Minister said, ‘Our government has done the work of banning the slaughter of cattle in Madhya Pradesh. If anyone commits this sin, he will be punished for 7 years. In the case of illegal transportation of cattle, action will be taken if found guilty. ₹ 900 per month will be given to cow herders doing natural farming for cow rearing. We are releasing an installment of ₹ 900 to 22,000 such farmers this month. If our tribal brothers and sisters buy cows in tribal areas and do cow rearing, they will be given 90% subsidy for two cows.
Veterinary ambulance is a joint scheme of the Center and the State Government. About 77 crore rupees will be spent on this every year. In this, the central and state governments will spend 60 and 40 percent respectively. The ambulance will have facilities for animal treatment, surgery, artificial insemination, disease tests. By calling the call center’s toll free number 1962, the animal parents will be able to avail veterinary treatment at their homes. Ambulances will be attached to the state level call centre. The monitoring of the ambulance will be done through GPS.

Cow protection does not mean opposition to Muslims
During the conference, BJP’s state in-charge Muralidhar Rao said, ‘Madhya Pradesh is the leading state in the field of cow protection. Cow protection does not mean opposing Muslims. Where did protection of cow mean opposition to Muslims? Talking about cow protection and cow service is not opposing secularism. The governments of Shivraj ji, Modi ji and BJP are doing the work of cow protection keeping in line with the basic spirit of the Constitution of India. The service of the cow is the service of the dear sister. Women are involved in everything from milk production to marketing. In the coming days, if there is any project to increase the income of women, then it can be done through cow. Our policy will be to take forward the work of cow protection by getting rid of those who shoot at cow protectors and do politics of hatred.
