He highlighted Rajasthan government's welfare schemes for animal farmers which have led to Rajasthan being first in milk production nationwide.

Rajasthan Chief Minister, Ashok Gehlot, on Thursday highlighted the significant role of seers in propagating peace, harmony, and unity. Speaking at the 181st birth anniversary and Chaturmas programme of Shri Amra Bhagatji organized by Sarva Samaj Sanatan Chaturmas Vikas Samiti and Amra Bhagat Seva Sansthan at Narbadiya in Chittorgarh, he drew parallels between these ideals and those followed by Mahatma Gandhi.

Gandhi's Ideals Echoed

The Chief Minister further stated that his government was working in alignment with Gandhian principles. He emphasized how Mahatma Gandhi adopted non-violence as a way of life and governance. He also pointed out that similar values were being upheld by his administration to ensure peace and harmony within the state.

Support for Animal Farmers

He highlighted several initiatives undertaken by his government to support animal farmers and cow shelters. The Rajasthan government has granted Rs 3,000 crore for the maintenance of cow shelters while cattle rearers are offered financial assistance of Rs 40,000 per cow that succumbs to lumpy disease.

Chief Minister Kamdhenu Animal Insurance Scheme

In addition to this aid, under the Chief Minister Kamdhenu Animal Insurance Scheme, free insurance worth Rs 40,000 is provided for two milch animals per family. This initiative aims at safeguarding animal farmers from unexpected financial burdens due to loss or illness of their livestock.

Milk Production Boosted through Subsidies

The state government is also providing a subsidy of Rs 5 per litre on milk which has greatly encouraged dairy farming in Rajasthan. As a result of such public welfare schemes aimed at boosting rural economy, Rajasthan has emerged as the leading state in milk production across India.

In conclusion, Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot's address underlined the importance of peace, unity and harmony. Drawing inspiration from Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and humanitarianism, he reiterated his government’s commitment to improving the lives of animal farmers through various public welfare schemes. These initiatives have not only provided financial relief to dairy farmers but also boosted Rajasthan's position as a leader in milk production nationwide.
