Project No.1

Semen Transportaion Carrier (Vehicle Swaraj Mazda)

A vehicle Tata-407 is being used for the supply of liquid nitrogen gas and semen straws to the 350 vety. institutions of Distt. Sirsa and Fatehabad regularly. This vehicle was purchased by DRDA Fatehabad and it has run 2.55 lac kms against the govt. norms of 1.80 lacs kms. Now the condition of this vehicle is very poor because it has to travl 4000-5000 kms per month. It is the back bone of breeding activities of the district. The new vehicle Swaraj Mazda be purchased to carry out the regular breeding programme of the district.

Approx. cost of vehicle with accessories is Rs. 6.00 lac.

Project No.2

Supply of LN2 Jars of 2 Litre capacity

In this district, most of the villagers of rural area have started residing in Dhanis and they keep their animals with them. At the time of oestrus it become vety difficult for the breeder to bring their animal in the hospital for insemination. In the institutions a big LN2 cylinder of 20 Ltr. capacity have been provided, its transportation to breeders doorstep is also very difficult. So to provide this A.I. facility to farmers doorstep, a small LN2 cylinder of 2 Ltr. capacity is reqired.

Cylinder required = 150 Nos.

Approx. cost of per cylinder = 4000/-

Total cost Rs. 6.00 Lac

Project No.3

Construction of new buildings of Vety. Institutions and their staff quarters

The buildings of the following vety. institutions and their staff quarters were constructed 50 years ago. These are quite old and in dilapidated conditions. The doors and windows have broken, roofs are leaking, floors have damaged and are not fit for hospital work. Similarly residential quarters have also unsafe for residing. The staff members are residing in the cities and are helpless to provide 24 hours services to the breeders. The new building equipped with modern facilities be constructed at following stations:-

1- CVH, Sirsa

Vehicle for Mobile Vety. Unit

A Mobile Unit for the treatment of ailed animals at door-step in the remote villages was established in the year 1977 in this district and staff comprising one Vety. surgeon, two VLDAs and one class-IV was sanctioned by the govt. The vehicle for this unit was provided by the department of Animal Husbandry and this unit worked for many years, but that vehicle got unserviceable and was auctioned. Now this staff is working in the Gaushala, Sirsa. To revive the working of this staff, a vehicle is urgently required. A scheme under Sam Vikas Yojna for the propagation of Murrah Buffaloes in Distt. Sirsa have been sanctioned . The services of the staff can also be utilised for the implementation of this scheme to provide treatment, vaccinations, A.I. and follow-up and distribution of cattle feed to these Murrah units and other aims and objectives of this unit will be as under:-

Aims and objectives:

1. To provide diagnostic facility at farmers’ door-step.

Project No.5

Up-gradation of Vety. Dispensaries/SMCs.

Some of the CVDs and SMCs are covering a large number of cattle population of different villages should be upgraded in Vety.

Project No.7

Solution of stray animals

Thousands of stray animals are wandering in the streets of city and villages for

the want of food and they are eating polythene bags/cloth pieces, dirt and dust to fill up their stomach. During night they go to the agricultural fields of the farmers and damage their valuable crops. In day time, they roam about in the streets and bazars and become the major cause of vehicle accidents. Most of the cows are left by the owners after milking. The male calves/bulls are in large number. I will advise the following points to control this menac:-

1. The cows left loose by the owners after milking, the owners should be motivated and warned not to loose them and heavy penalty be imposed on them.

2. Cattle pounds should be constructed in every village and city and run under the supervision and village panchayat and municipal corporation.

3. All the male cow bulls should be castrated so that further increase in the population could be stopped.

4. Cow shelter homes/gaushalas be established in big villages of the district. The neighbour villages should also help in running them. The villagers should be inspired and motivated by the persons of different departments like Panchayat, Revenue, Agriculture, Forests and Animal Husbandry etc. The land for these shelters and fodder production should be provided by the gram panchayats and the infrastructure like sheds, boundary wall, fodder stores, tubewells etc. be provided by the govt. These cow shelter should run their own bio-gas plants, wormipost projects, cross breeding in cows to raise their income and become self sufficient.

Project No.8

Control of stray dogs

There is approximately 21795 number of stray dogs in district Sirsa. Dreaded disease (Rabies) is spread by rabid dogs. It causes a great loss to human being. There should be a control programme for controlling the spreading number of stray dogs. This can be controlled by sterilization of male dogs by injecting some chemicals. In this way, we can save our animals and human being.
