Government initiatives are bolstering India's animal husbandry and dairying sectors, focusing on disease control, operational efficiency, and infrastructure modernization. The Department of Animal Husbandry is actively addressing Lumpy Skin Disease, with over 36 crore cattle vaccinated and ongoing efforts to contain remaining cases, while also streamlining administrative processes through campaigns targeting file disposal and grievance resolution. Simultaneously, the Department is working towards achieving FMD freedom by 2030, strengthening state action plans and promoting public-private partnerships to enhance vaccination and surveillance capabilities, ultimately aiming to improve animal health and support the growth of the livestock industry.
