AI SummaryMadhya Pradesh government is running the Gausevak Training (Initial and Refresher) scheme for educated unemployed rural youth who want to learn primary animal care and start their own work. The Animal Husbandry Department runs this scheme, and selected candidates get free training along with a monthly stipend.
Training lasts for six months, and each selected Gausevak gets a stipend of ₹1,000 per month, which comes to ₹6,000 in total, plus a training kit worth ₹1,200. People who finish the initial training can come back for refresher training, where the stipend is ₹500 along with study material worth ₹100.
Gausevak Training (Initial and Refresher) - Introduction
The scheme helps educated youth from villages who are sitting without work because they do not have any special skill. After the training, these youth can offer primary veterinary services in their own villages and nearby areas, where getting a doctor for animals is often difficult. This creates a long-term way to earn a living while also making sure animals get timely basic treatment.
Training is fully funded by the department, so the candidates do not have to pay anything for it. The trained youth are called Gausevaks, and they work as cow helpers who take care of basic animal health needs at the village level. Training is given at the local Gram Panchayat, so selected candidates do not have to travel far.
