The mobile vet: Bringing healthier livestock to India’s rural farmers

Housed in a colourful mobile van, an agro-veterinary clinic is now a regular feature in distant tribal parts of Jharkhand state in India.

In many parts of Jharkhand, such as the East Singbhum district, it reaches remote hamlets devoid of concrete roads or mobile phone networks.

The mobile veterinary clinic is run by Birsa Yuva Seva Samiti, an NGO named after iconic Indian tribal freedom fighter, Shri Birsa Munda.

The mission – the betterment of livestock farming.
