Encouraging Zero-Budget Natural Farming Models 9. Convergence with Schemes like Mukhyamantri Pashudhan Yojana, Rashtriya Gokul Mission, and Animal Husbandry Infrastructure Development Fund 10. Funding for Research in Breed Genetics and Disease Prevention & Control 11. Establishment of a Gau Vigyan Kendra for Training and Innovation 12. Creation of a State Cattle Registry and GIS Mapping 13. Allocation of Grants and CSR Funds for Cattle Welfare 14. Reduction of Stray Cattle-related Accidents and Crop Damage 15.
