SRINAGAR: Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology of Kashmir (SKUAST-K) conducted a series of awareness and free veterinary clinical camps in Tulail, Bagtore and Dawar villages of Gurez Valley under the DBT-sponsored project, “Socio-economic Upliftment of Marginal Farmers of Gurez Valley through Scientific Livestock Rearing.” The initiative, led by the faculty of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, aimed to improve livestock health and promote scientific animal husbandry practices in the remote region, where access to specialised veterinary services remains limited. The scientists conducted health screening and clinical examination of livestock, provided free veterinary consultations and advised farmers on preventive healthcare and disease management. Scientists also highlighted the importance of value addition, efficient resource utilisation and market-oriented livestock production to improve incomes under the high-altitude conditions of Gurez Valley. The scientists reaffirmed SKUAST-K’s commitment to farmer-centric research, extension and technology transfer, stating that continued technical support, awareness programmes, training and veterinary health interventions will be provided to strengthen sustainable livestock-based livelihoods in Gurez Valley.
