The correct answer is: a) Door-step veterinary services.
The Mobile Veterinary Unit (MMU) scheme in Odisha aims to provide door-step veterinary services to farmers in rural areas. The scheme was launched in 2017 and has been successful in providing quality veterinary care to farmers at their doorsteps. The MMUs are equipped with a team of veterinary doctors and para-veterinarians who provide a range of services, including vaccination, treatment of diseases, and artificial insemination. The scheme has been well-received by farmers and has helped to improve the health and productivity of livestock in the state.
Option b) Livestock insurance is not the aim of the MMU scheme. However, the government of Odisha does offer a livestock insurance scheme, which is designed to protect farmers from the financial losses that can occur due to death or disease of their livestock.
Option c) Vaccination drives are also not the aim of the MMU scheme. However, the government of Odisha does conduct regular vaccination drives for livestock, which are aimed at preventing the spread of diseases.
Option d) Fodder distribution is also not the aim of the MMU scheme. However, the government of Odisha does provide fodder to farmers at subsidized rates, which helps to reduce the cost of raising livestock.
