In a recent initiative for farmers in Punjab, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz started registration for livestock cards on November 5 in all districts. This card will give farmers interest-free loans and subsidies for their livestock and affordable fodder for the maintenance of their animals.
Online Registration for the CM Punjab Livestock Card
Farmers can register online using their CNIC number on 5 November. In order to register, simply SMS your CNIC number to 8070. The process is straight forward—all that is required is a valid ID card to be added to the beneficiary list of this scheme.
Important Details About Livestock Card
Farmers taking part in this scheme will get a loan of Rs 27,000 per animal, which is meant for essential items like feed and mineral supplements. After registration, beneficiaries can visit the nearest Bank of Punjab (BOP) branch to collect their card. The interest-free loan amount can be used to buy cattle feed, silage, and mineral mixtures.
Registration of Animals at District Hospitals
If you want to register animals in this scheme, then go to the nearest veterinary hospital with your cattle. At the hospital, officials will use the 9211 system to enter the details of your animals. This is an important step to activate your Punjab Livestock Card.
Eligibility Requirements for the Punjab Livestock Card Registration
Farmers eligible for the scheme must meet a few important criteria:
- Own at least five male animals (cows or bulls).
- Have a valid national ID card and SIM card registered in your name.
- Be a resident of Punjab.
The Punjab government has allocated more than Rs 10 million to fund this scheme, which will assist local farmers by giving them the livestock resources and cash assistance. This initiative strengthens Punjab’s agricultural economy by providing targeted support to the farming community.
Last Words
From November 5, farmers will be able to get essential resources and interest-free loans to improve their livelihoods and increase agricultural productivity. This program shows an important step in fulfilling the government’s commitments to support farmers in Punjab.
