Looking after goats and backyard poultry, the trained women provide veterinary support in rural areas and become financially independent, by Mukesh Ranjan

JHARKHAND: Domestic animals are a source of income in rural areas. But there aren't many vets in remote villages of Jharkhand. Meet Putul Tigga - 'Doctor Didi' for villagers in her Hochar village near the Jharkhand capital’s Ratu block - who looks after their goats and backyard poultry.

Proud of the honorific, Putul recalls how she has earned it over the last five years. She joined the Self Help Group (SHG) being run from her village in 2016. Thanks to the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana, a part of the National Rural Livelihood Mission (DAY-NRLM) of the Centre, she was trained for providing veterinary support in rural areas.

The job of an 'Ajivika Pashu Sakhi', popularly known as 'Doctor Didi', is to strengthen traditional livelihood in remote villages. Currently, more than 8,700 SHG women are working as ‘Doctor Didi’ in the state and earning between Rs 7,000 and Rs 10,000 every month.
