Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif highlighted that the program will provide doorstep treatment and consultation services to livestock farmers, while also equipping young professionals with field experience and financial support.
She added that the initiative aims to boost Punjab’s livestock sector by increasing milk and meat production, which in turn would strengthen foreign exchange reserves.
“We want to transform Punjab into a hub of livestock and dairy development. We stand with livestock farmers today and will continue to support them in the future,” she said.
Quotas have also been set for Veterinary Assistants, AI Technicians, and Lab Assistants across all 36 districts of Punjab.
