Developing a Para-Vet Cadre: Training and Handholding Support For Rural Youth
The methodology involved more of hands on training in animal hygiene, feed and fodder management, common diseases and vaccination schedule, etc. The paravets were provided with a simple veterinary kit along with necessary literature after the programme so that they can be provide simple veterinary services in their native village and the help of local veterinary doctor whenever required. This way they are expected to serve the local farmers and also earn a livelihood for themselves.
The previous attempts to develop a cadre of para-vets to aid the on-going development programmes have not produced the desired results. Studies indicate that lack of post-training handholding support has resulted in many trained Paravets loosing interest. In order to prevent this, CRIDA is taking the following measures to provide the required support and time for them to settle down as useful resource persons for the community.
Cluster anchors to facilitate a meeting of the trained para-vets with the local veterinarians and offering the services of para-vets for taking up animal health camps and other community vet-health campaigns Writing a letter to the Joint Directors of Animal Husbandry and Project Directors of District Water Management Agency (DWMA) of all the eight NAIP districts informing them about the training programme and the availability of para-vets in the village clusters and requesting them to inform the respective veterinary doctors to involve them in the on-going livestock / dairy development programmes Evolving a mechanism of retention by assuring a minimum monthly income and incentives for better performance to the para-vets. Providing other minimum infrastructure facilities and equipment along with the kit so that he can make use of his skills effectively. Organizing periodical interactions of para-vets with the trainers so that the problems / doubts they encounter during their fieldwork can be resolved.

When I first came here, I was very scared. For the first two-three days I was feeling very uneasy and wanted to go back home. But gradually I developed interest.. because the training here involved lot of practical experience. I feel very confident now to handle the animals and assist the veterinarian whenever required. I also hope to earn my livelihood by offering my services to the villagers
