The Madhya Pradesh Animal Husbandry Department has inked a MoU with Bharat Financial Inclusion Ltd (BFIL) to launch 'Pashu Dhan Sanjeevani - 1962', an animal healthcare programme. The MoU was signed in the presence of Madhya Pradesh Animal Husbandry Minister Antar Singh Arya and BFIL CEO and MD Geoff Woolley. The 'Pashu Dhan Sanjeevani - 1962' is claimed to be the first of its kind initiative by any state government in India. This programme offers animal owners a range of veterinary services. They just have to dial the toll-free helpline number 1962. The service delivery process will be monitored through the 'Bharat Sanjeevani' software and a mobile app exclusively developed for doctors, veterinary field officers and artificial insemination technicians.
