Meet Jharkhand's Doctor Didi -- transforming lives in remote villages
India | September 29, 2019 13:03 ISTThere are some 6,500 such Pashu Sakhis offering door-to-door medical care to livestock in Jharkhand villages since the past seven years. Under a scheme started in 2012, the Jharkhand State Livelihood Promotion Society provided veterinary training to women associated with self-help groups. Attending to at least 18-20 animals a day, now these Pashu Sakhis not only make a living for themselves but also help save lives of animals in the villages.
