 PROJECT PROPOSAL FOR MOBILE VETERINARY UNIT
IN ODISHA UNDER RKVY

Background:

Animal Husbandry is a major economic activity taken up by rural house holds

especially in rural areas. This Sector has also the highest potential for rural self-
employment generation at the lowest possible investment per unit. Therefore, in order to

ensure effective veterinary service delivery, the Department has initiated to provide mobile
veterinary services in 40 blocks in first phase under RKVY and subsequently it has been

extended to another 65 blocks covering all the blocks of 12 tribal districts. The impact of
MVU was reflected in terms of its acceptance by the farmers. There was a marked increase

(about 25 %) in number of animals treated in MVU operational Districts. This scheme has
registered a huge success due to the overwhelming response of the farming community in

the remotest part of the State, for which State Government have decided to provide
budgetary provision under State Plan to operate MVU in another 53 blocks during 2013-

14.

The livestock owners need veterinary services particularly curative and advisory
service to improve the productivity of their livestock. Most of the interior areas are not able

to receive the institutional service delivery facilities due to distance factor. Veterinary
Hospital/ Dispensary are located 8-10 km away from the villages, and it becomes a

difficult job to avail required services and save their animals from untimely death. In this
context, the Department of F & ARD, Odisha intends to extend Mobile Veterinary Units

(MVU) to all the blocks of the State. This will enable the livestock owners living in the
remote areas to avail the opportunities and to consider AH activities as livelihood option.

Therefore the present proposal is prepared to provide MVU in rest 156 blocks of the State
with a budget outlay of Rs. 10.71 crores per annum.

Mobile Veterinary Unit (MVU) in our veterinary service delivery system is designed as an alternative

model of rural animal health care delivery for a specified area with earmarked team of veterinary

professionals with supporting equipments & drugs. It is envisaged to provide preventive, curative services as

well as breeding facilities in the rural areas which are un-served /underserved under normal circumstances.

1
Rationale of the Proposal:

The impetus behind the surge in demand for livestock products is a combination of
population and income growth, combined with urbanization. The small livestock holders in
the interior areas need veterinary services particularly curative and advisory service to
improve the productivity of their livestock. With the rapidly increasing demand for
livestock products, together with the priority given by the Government for livelihood
through Animal Husbandry, the sector has a scope both to expand and adapt.

The Mobile Veterinary Units could be useful to make surveillance measures,

awareness programme and dispose the carcass properly to control and contain the
contagious diseases. The animal health camps will be conducted at remote inaccessible
areas/ villages to treat the livestock at their doorstep.

It is felt essential to provide the desired veterinary services in 156 blocks (list
enclosed in Annexure-I), so as to win the confidence of the farmers to take up AH activities
as livelihood option and maximize profit through livestock sector. The existing guideline of
the Department for operation of MVU will be followed.

Aim:

The aim of the programme is to establish “Mobile Veterinary Unit” to strengthen

the service delivery mechanism so as to ensure better accessibility of services provided
by the department in the field and there by improved productivity at the farmer’s farm.

Objectives:

v To examine the general health condition and to treat the livestock

v To provide “On the Spot” free diagnostic service to ascertain the disease.
v To detect the common diseases prevalent in the area.
v To provide doorstep veterinary service (Breeding, Curative).
v To educate people to adopt appropriate modern technology for improving the
productivity.
v To make disease surveillance and monitoring of livestock and poultry diseases.
v To control and contain disease outbreak.
v To popularize the departmental schemes
v To create awareness on livestock preventive health care and other department services
available.

Outcome:

The proposal will enhance rural income and reduce poverty at Community level
through:

Reduction of mortality of livestock and birds through proper treatment

Improvement in productivity due to better health of livestock
Additional individual employment opportunities for the farming families

Output:

240 camps will be organized per annum in a block and approximately, 100 animals
(50 large, 50 small animals and 50 birds) will be treated per camp. All total, 24000
animals in a block will be treated covering 3,000 SC, 1000 ST and 10,000 other livestock
holders. This will reduce the mortality of animals and enhance the total production in the
area. It is expected to make 20 doorstep artificial inseminations of cattle per month by
each unit, totaling to 200 artificial inseminations per block per annum. This will
genetically upgrade the local cattle for enhancing the productivity.
