Andhra to distribute milch cattle under YSR Cheyutha scheme

Amaravati, Nov 19 : Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y. S. Jagan Mohan Reddy will launch the first phase of milch cattle distribution as part of YSR Cheyutha and Asara schemes on November 26.
As many as 4,000 villages in Prakasam, Chittoor and Kadapa districts will be covered in the first phase distribution.
Reddy held a review meeting on Thursday, and instructed officials to take care while selecting the breed of animals meant for distribution to beneficiaries so as to ensure good returns.
“Purchase committee should include people with technical expertise, insurance company representatives and bank employees,” he said.
The CM asked for veterinary services to be strengthened by filling up all the vacant posts in the animal husbandry department.
For veterinary issues, he told the officials that dairy cattle should be treated within the Rythu Bharosa Kendras (RBK).
