In a bid to promote self-employment and strengthen rural livelihoods, the Veterinary Dispensary, Elephant Point, organized a chick distribution program for residents under the jurisdiction of Gram Panchayat Namunaghar. The event was held at the Panchayat Bhawan, drawing participation from local officials and community members.
The program was graced by the presence of Mr. Y. Venkateshwar, Pradhan, Gram Panchayat Namunaghar, and Dr. Sanjhali Soren, Senior Veterinary Officer, Veterinary Dispensary Elephant Point. A total of 52 chicks were distributed to beneficiaries as part of the initiative.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Y. Venkateshwar lauded the Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services (AH&VS) for its commendable efforts in supporting backyard poultry farming as a means of sustainable income generation.

The distribution drive aims to encourage poultry farming at the grassroots level, enabling residents to develop small-scale poultry ventures that contribute to both household nutrition and economic stability.
