“As part of the MoU agreement, we are planning to set up 10 centres for Animal care and management with innovative services. Where in the officials and the authorities from these centres will visit the villages, and provide not only awareness about the animal care and methods for artificial fertilization for developing better breed of animals. But they will also provide training to the farmers in the villages to help them maintain their animals innovatively,” said the Collector.
