Essar Foundation, on Tuesday, said it will provide medical aid to over 10,000 cattle through cattle vaccination camps and public awareness programs in 10 surrounding villages of the Vadinar refinery in Jamnagar district of Gujarat.
Recently, Essar Foundation in partnership with BAIF-GRISERV, conducted such a program in two villages in which 1,000 livestock were vaccinated, diagnosed and treated at the Gaushala premises, Mr Manoharan Chakrapani, Director (Refinery), Essar Oil Ltd, said in a press release here.
The vaccination camps of livestock are crucial for their owners as sudden death of these animals causes heavy financial and emotional loss on the livelihood of these farmers, he said.
BAIF-GRISERV is an organization working on animal husbandry, water resources development, sustainable agriculture, and various rural non-farm activities for generating employment for landless families. It is serving over 45 lakh poor families living in 60,000 villages across 16 states in India.
