According to the latest departmental announcement, women who applied under the Chief Minister’s Livestock Asset Transfer Scheme can now check whether they have been selected through the official online portal.

The second phase has an estimated budget of Rs. 3 billion. The government will distribute animals among eligible women following verification and selection.
