Haryana Launches 30 Minunte Mobile Vet Service under Vision 2047 – Door Step Vet Services

CHANDIGARH, HARYANA — In a major expansion of India’s rural healthcare outreach, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini has officially greenlit a high-speed Mobile Veterinary Treatment Service for door step delivery of veterinary services.

Designed to bring advanced, point-of-care medical attention directly to farmers’ doorsteps, the initiative aligns with the state’s strategic commitments under the national Vision 2047 (India completes 100 Years of Independence in 2047) development roadmap.

This scheme aims to modernize livestock healthcare delivery, protect small dairy farmers and bridge the infrastructure gap between urban veterinary centers and remote rural dairy farms.

Operational Framework & Toll-Free Integration

The emergency response system is built around a centralized, tech-enabled dispatch network. Dairy farmers can instantly register distress calls through a dedicated, state-wide toll-free emergency number: 1962.

During this initial rollout phase, the service operates on a 16-hour daily window from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, covering critical morning milking and evening farm shifts. The state animal husbandry department confirmed that plans are already underway to scale the dispatch network into a 24-hour, round-the-clock emergency response system by the next fiscal.

30-Minute Mandate: Fleet Specs and Staffing

The core feature of this initiative is a strict 30-minute response mandate. From the exact timestamp a call is logged at the central command center, the designated veterinary mobile unit must navigate and reach the farmgate within half an hour.

To achieve this efficiency, the state is deploying a synchronized fleet of customized, heavy-duty mobile veterinary vans. Each vehicle functions as a self-contained, sterile field clinic equipped with:

• Real-time GPS tracking and inter-unit communication arrays.

• Advanced veterinary surgical kits and diagnostic tools.

• Onboard refrigeration units to protect cold-chain biologicals, vaccines, and specialized thermal-sensitive dewormers.

Specialized Field Staff

Every dispatched van is fully staffed by a specialized team, including a licensed Veterinary Surgeon, a certified Veterinary Livestock Development Assistant (VLDA), and a dedicated driver-cum-attendant. This ensures that complex clinical procedures—ranging from emergency dystocia management and trauma suturing to acute infectious disease containment—can be executed immediately on-site without transferring the animal.

Strategic Realities: Protecting the Rural Dairy Farmers

The deployment comes at a critical time for Haryana’s dairy sector, which serves as a vital economic engine for the state. By removing the logistical burden and high costs of transporting large bovines to distant district clinics, the service protects smallholder farmers from predatory local medical costs and minimizes production losses.

Furthermore, by placing specialized veterinary surgeons directly on the front lines, the state establishes a real-time, early-warning biological surveillance network. This field presence allows authorities to quickly isolate localized outbreaks of sporadic diseases like Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) or Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) before they spread to the national herd, securing Haryana’s position as a premier domestic dairy hub.
