CM Punjab Free Livestock Program September 2025 Update

CM Punjab Free Livestock Program

The Free Livestock Program 2025 launched by Punjab Chief Minister Ms. Maryam Nawaz is proving to be a great facility for poor and deserving women. Under this project, eleven thousand cows and buffaloes are being distributed among women of 12 backward districts. The Punjab government has allocated a budget of two billion rupees for this scheme.

The aim of this program is to provide permanent employment opportunities to women instead of providing temporary assistance so that they can live a dignified life.

September 2025 New Update

The Punjab government has deployed new registration teams in September 2025 to make the program more effective. These teams will provide assistance especially to those families who were affected by the floods and lost their livestock.

Now the registration process has been made more transparent and easy so that this facility can reach every deserving woman.

Importance Of The Program

Poverty is a major problem in rural areas, especially widowed and divorced women who are more vulnerable. Often women have to depend on others to meet the expenses of children’s education, treatment and food.

This program plays an important role in the economic empowerment of women.

Benefits of this program

• A source of daily income from milk
• Additional income when calves are born in the future
• Facilitation of meeting household expenses
• Improvement in the rural economy and employment opportunities

How to Apply | Step-by-Step Guide

The registration process has been made easy and transparent so that women can join without any referral or bribe.

• Visit the nearest veterinary clinic or animal center.
• Carry your identity card, widow or divorce certificate and registered mobile number with you.
• To apply online, visit the website livestock.punjab.gov.pk or use the “Asset Transfer to Rural Women” app.

Special Facility For September 2025

This time the government has deployed door-to-door registration teams.

These teams will:

• Will register eligible women by visiting their homes
• Will give priority to flood-affected families
• Will eliminate the possibility of bribery and recommendation
• Will save women from having to go to offices

Support Package For Women

The program is not limited to just providing animals, but the government is providing complete facilities to women so that they can benefit more.

Facilities included in the package

• A cow or buffalo absolutely free
• Free fodder for the initial months
• Vaccination and regular care of animals
• Guidance on selling milk and calves
• Opportunities for setting up small businesses

Why Cattle Instead Of Cash Assistance?

Cash assistance is often temporary and ends quickly, but cattle can become a source of permanent income.

• Buffaloes produce 8 to 12 liters of milk per day
• The milk can be used at home or sold
• The calves become a source of additional income in the future

This model provides permanent employment to women instead of giving one-time relief.

Special Facility For Flood-Affected Families

The government has given priority to those families whose livestock was lost in the flood. Due to door-to-door registration, such women will no longer have to visit offices and will be able to become part of the program without any difficulty.

Ways To Get The Most Out Of Your Animal

If eligible women take a few precautions, this animal can take the form of a small business.

• Feed and water the animal on time
• Get vaccinations and medical care
• Connect with local milk collection networks
• Keep a part of the income for savings
• Keep records of milk and calves

Conclusion

The Chief Minister Punjab Free Livestock Program 2025 is a game changer for poor women, especially widows and divorced women. Through this scheme, not only are cattle being provided to women, but they are also being provided with care and business guidance.

This program is a strong effort under the leadership of Maryam Nawaz to make women independent, strengthen the rural economy and reduce poverty.
