Expansion of the ongoing Centrally Sponsored Scheme ‘Livestock Health and Disease Control’


The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs today approved the expansion of the ongoing Centrally Sponsored Scheme ‘Livestock Health and Disease Control’ by adding four new components and enlarging the scope of the existing Foot and Mouth Disease Control Programme from 54 Districts to 221 districts. The new components to be added are:

(i) National Animal Disease Reporting System
(ii) National Control Programme on Peste des Petits Ruminants,
(iii) National Control Programme on Brucellosis and
(iv) Establishment and Strengthening of Veterinary Hospitals and Dispensaries.

At present, this scheme has following four components, namely:

(a) Assistance to States for Control of Animal Diseases,
(b) National Project on Rinderpest Eradiction,
(c) Professional Efficiency Development and
(d) Foot and Mouth Disease Control Programme

Implementation of the existing and additional components, and expansion of the Foot and Mouth Disease Control Programme under the scheme ‘Livestock Health and Disease Control’ will involve an investment of Rs.886.10 crore in 2010-11 and 2011-12. As livestock contribute to the livelihood of the poor, controlling animal diseases can uplift their economic condition.

In order to improve the present system of disease reporting, a new computerized system will be introduced for animal disease reporting, linking each block, district and state headquarters to a central disease reporting and monitoring unit in New Delhi. This will enable the veterinary authorities to closely monitor, control and eradicate animal diseases, particularly those of a trans-boundary nature, economic significance and zoonotic potential, a in a time bound manner.
