The Government of Punjab has launched Phase 2 of the Punjab Livestock Program, an initiative aimed at improving the lives of rural women through free livestock distribution. This scheme, introduced under the leadership of Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz, is designed to support women in small villages who lack financial resources but have the potential to manage animals for income generation. With Phase 1 proving to be a strong success, the second phase promises wider coverage and stronger impact.

This government-backed initiative is a critical step toward rural development, offering not just livestock, but long-term income support. The Punjab Livestock Program encourages women to become financially independent by using livestock for dairy production, local sales, and even small-scale farming. If you live in South Punjab and meet the criteria, you should apply now before the deadline passes.

What is the Punjab Livestock Program?
The Punjab Livestock Program is a free welfare initiative that provides cows, buffaloes, and goats to eligible rural women. These animals become both an economic asset and a food source. The goal is to reduce poverty, increase milk and meat production, and uplift the rural economy through sustainable, women-led practices.
پنجاب لائیوسٹاک پروگرام کا دوسرا مرحلہ دیہی خواتین کے لیے ایک سنہری موقع ہے۔ حکومت پنجاب نے اس پروگرام کے ذریعے خواتین کو مویشی دے کر ان کی مالی حالت بہتر بنانے کا فیصلہ کیا ہے۔ وہ خواتین جو بیوہ یا طلاق یافتہ ہیں اور جن کی کوئی مستقل آمدنی نہیں، اب اس منصوبے کی بدولت خود کفیل بن سکتی ہیں۔ ایک گائے یا بھینس کے ذریعے روزانہ کی آمدنی ممکن ہے، اور دودھ کی فروخت سے گھر کا خرچ نکالا جا سکتا ہے۔
