Rajasthan's 'Suraksha Chakra': Free FMD Vaccine Drive for Livestock from March 15, 2026

• Rajasthan's Animal Husbandry Department launches a free, door-to-door FMD vaccination campaign for livestock from March 15, 2026.
• The 'Suraksha Chakra' initiative aims to protect cloven-hoofed animals like cows, buffaloes, sheep, and goats from Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD).
• FMD is a highly contagious viral disease causing blisters, lameness, and significant milk production drop, leading to economic losses for owners.
• Vaccination details will be recorded in real-time on the 'Pashudhan' app, creating digital health records and ensuring transparency.
• Special teams will visit rural areas, and Dr. Sanjay Krishna Vyas urges livestock owners to cooperate for the success of the campaign.
