The Nationwide Artificial Insemination Programme (NAIP), is a flagship program of the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying. The objective of the programme is to increase the productivity of livestock by improving the genetic potential through artificial insemination.
Launched on 20th June 2013, the scheme “Pashudhan Mitra Scheme1” by the Animal Husbandry Department, Govt of Chhattisgarh, aims to expand veterinary and breeding services, strengthen service delivery, and provide incentive honorariums to Pashudhan Mitras for livelihood support.
The scheme provides financial assistance to registered Gaushalas for rearing purebred Gir or Kankrej male cow calves with high genetic quality to promote pure breeding in indigenous cattle.
