Director of Animal Husbandry Department in Jammu, Dr. Shubhra Sharma, visited Doda yesterday to distribute Artificial Insemination (AI) kits, Cryo-containers, and other associated equipment among newly trained Multipurpose Artificial Insemination Technicians in Rural India (MAITRIs). The distribution took place at a function held at the Chief Animal Husbandry Complex in Doda.

During the event, Dr. Sharma emphasized the importance of meeting the demand for trained Artificial Insemination technicians in rural areas. She highlighted the efforts made under the central scheme Rashtriya Gokul Mission (RGM) to train and induct MAITRIs. These technicians play a crucial role in delivering timely AI services to farmers, providing significant benefits to the farming community.

Dr. Sharma explained that MAITRIs are selected from unemployed educated youth across the districts of Jammu division. They undergo training at accredited AI training institutes following the module developed by the Government of India. In addition to contributing to the improvement of local cattle breeds through AI services, MAITRIs also gain sustainable self-employment opportunities. They earn their livelihood by receiving honorarium for providing prescribed services in their respective areas of work.

The Director shared details about the progress made under this initiative and also visited the Government Poultry Hatchery in Doda and the District Veterinary Hospital. The function was attended by key figures such as Chief Animal Husbandry Officer Dr. Mayan-un-Din Gured, Superintendent District Veterinary Hospital Dr. Fayaz Ahmed Khan, Poultry Development Officer Dr. Sehnawaz Ahmed Sheikh, Livestock Development Officer in Bhaderwah Dr. Mubasshir Ahmed Mintoo, Extension Officer Dr. Nadeem Ahmed, Technical Officer (Gen.), and other officers from Doda District.
