पशुओं को चिकित्सा सुविधा मुहैया कराने के लिए छत्तीसगढ़ सरकार की मुख्यमंत्री गोवंश मोबाइल चिकित्सा योजना शुरू हो चुकी है। इसके तहत हर जिले में मोबाइल वेटरनरी यूनिट के जरिए पशुओं का घर-घर जाकर इलाज किया जाता है।
Mukhyamantri Govansh Mobile Chikitsa Yojana
The scheme was announced in September 2022 when the state government decided to launch mobile veterinary units for the welfare and protection of livestock. Former Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel had directed the Chief Secretary to take required action at the earliest, and the first units were flagged off on 20 August 2023. Times of India covered the launch of mobile veterinary services for cows in the state.
In the first stage, one or two mobile veterinary units with veterinarians were provided in each district. The service was later expanded in a phased manner, and now mobile units reach gauthans, gram panchayats and remote villages on a fixed roster.
Livestock healthcare services are also provided at government-run veterinary hospitals and gauthans established under Suraji Gaon Yojana. Earlier in July 2020, the state government had launched a cow dung procurement scheme under Godhan Nyay Yojana to promote cow rearing, make sure of livestock safety and provide financial benefits to cattle rearers. A cow urine procurement scheme was launched in July 2026 in selected places.
Mobile Veterinary Units for Cattle
Just like citizens get affordable and quality health services through mobile medical units, cattle now get the same facility. The state government runs Mukhyamantri Haat-Bazaar Clinic Yojana in rural areas and Mukhyamantri Slum Swasthya Yojana in urban areas for people living in remote and inaccessible places. Mukhyamantri Govansh Mobile Chikitsa Yojana works on the same lines for livestock.
Each mobile veterinary unit has a doctor, helper and support staff. The unit carries medicines, vaccination material, liquid nitrogen gas and equipment for artificial insemination. Sick animals are treated at home, and regular camps are held in villages as per a fixed roster.
Mobile veterinary units provide these services to cattle and other livestock:
- Treatment of sick cattle, buffaloes, sheep and goats at the doorstep.
- Vaccination and deworming of animals to protect them from deadly diseases.
- Artificial insemination and castration of inferior bulls for better breeding.
