Eligibility and Selection Process
Mangla Pashu Bima Yojana has clear eligibility rules and a clear selection process designed to give priority to deserving livestock owners:
- Lottery-Based Selection: The scheme follows a lottery-based selection process. All eligible applications are entered into the lottery, making sure the selection is fair and unbiased.
- Priority to Specific Groups: Livestock owners with Gopal Credit Cards, Lakhpati Didi Cards, and members of the Scheduled Castes (SC) and Scheduled Tribes (ST) communities get priority. Within these groups, 16% of the total beneficiaries are reserved for Scheduled Castes, while 12% are reserved for Scheduled Tribes.
- RFID-Tagged Animals: Only livestock tagged with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags are eligible for insurance under the scheme. The tagging helps with proper identification and tracking of the animals.
- Limit on Free Insurance: Livestock owners can insure a limited number of animals free under this scheme. The maximum allowed is 2 milch animals (such as cows or buffaloes), 10 goats or sheep, or 10 camels per livestock owner. This helps the scheme reach more livestock owners while keeping the budget balanced.
This eligibility and selection process keeps the scheme inclusive while giving priority to the most at-risk sections of society. It also encourages animal tagging for better livestock management.
