Bid to help poor who lost cattle in floods

A Kerala district has devised a programme under which people are being requested to donate cows to the poor who lost their cattle in the recent floods and landslides.

The hill district of Wayanad, which recorded the death of 223 cows during the calamity, has come up with the Donate a Cow programme, under which the administration will rebuild the livelihoods of those affected.

“Eight cows have been donated so far, 10 more are waiting to be handed over and many more are on the list,” Harsha V.S., the dairy extension officer who is in charge of the programme, told The Telegraph on Thursday.

One of the worst-affected districts in the floods and landslides, Wayanad has witnessed massive loss of livelihood.

“It (the programme) is basically a sustainable livelihood support. By putting the affected people back on the rails, the donors are lending a hand in rebuilding their lives,” Harsha said.

People who earn their livelihood by selling milk to cooperatives have been struggling because of the widespread loss of livestock.

“Just one milch cow can help them (each affected family) make a quick turnaround by selling milk. We have already seen that happening with the eight families that have received cows,” Harsha said.

The list of recipients was prepared after an assessment of their financial situation and capability to handle cows.

“We want to be certain that the donated cows are going to the right people,” the dairy extension officer said.

The department has also been monitoring how the families use the cows. “Since they supply milk to the cooperatives, which are linked by a computer software, it is easy for us to keep track of how much milk they are able to sell,” Harsha said.
