Karnataka Chief Minister Basavaraja Bommai announced a 350 crore fund for the economic development of the shepherd community on Monday. Later, Animal Husbandry Minister Prabhu B. Chavan congratulated him on putting the “Amrita Scheme” into action.
Former Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, who represents a backward community, did not respond to the shepherds’ progress. Many schemes for the development of sheep farmers have been implemented by our government. The Anugraha Yojana provides compensation of Rs. 5,000 per sheep in cases of premature death. Only the BJP can ensure the development of all people, he claims.
With the development of sheep farmers in mind, the Amrita Swabhimani Yojana provides financial assistance of Rs.1.75 lakh to each of the 20,000 beneficiaries in the state’s sheep and wool producers’ cooperative societies. Farmers will profit from this project. Following the ban on cow slaughter, this scheme has gained traction. Farmers, according to Prabhu Chavan, should take advantage of this.
“Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, who knows the mind of silent animals, said that he is working hard to develop the animal husbandry department like never before. He is a model Chief Minister who has implemented dozens of projects, including the establishment of Bank, Gomata Cooperative Society, implementation of Punyakoti Adoption Scheme, Haveri Hi-Tech Mega Dairy, distribution of compensation money to the owners of cows that died due to skin disease, free treatment and vaccination, appointment of 400 veterinary doctors, 250 veterinary assistants,” Prabhu Chavan praised the services of Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai with open voice.
The Anugrah Yatava Yojana compensation for accidental death of 3 to 6 month old sheep and goats has been increased from 2,500 to 3,500. Minister Prabhu Chavan stated that the BJP government is working to solve farmers’ problems by providing many benefits to sheep farmers, such as building houses and improving the shepherds’ economic status.
