Some glimpses of their field visit and engagement with our Pashu Sakhis - Promoting women-centric livelihoods who would be running regular veterinary health camps and clinics in the community. They provide livestock extension services to the community. Through the community-based approach, the women entrepreneurs will be empowered through technical training and hand holding support to take lead in generating demand for inputs as well as for their services to farmers which will in return ensure their economic empowerment. They appreciated the efforts of our able hardworking team in making female entrepreneurship ventures a successful business model. A Strong woman makes a Strong Society. The main objective of our various programs is to continue building a cadre of female community animal care service providers, who can effectively deliver animal care services in a sustainable manner all over India. The training was imparted to bridge the prevailing extension gap and to create a group of community resource persons to deliver available technology transfer and knowledge dissemination through the community to the community learning process by training and capacity building.
