Punjab Livestock Distribution Scheme Phase 2 Started – Free Cows and Buffaloes For Widows
Punjab Livestock Distribution Scheme Phase 2
Update: Punjab Government has launched Phase 2 of its Asset Transfer / Livestock Distribution scheme 11,000 rural women (especially widows and extremely vulnerable households) will receive free cows and buffaloes under this drive. According to the official poster from the Punjab Livestock & Dairy Department, the second-phase applications are open now and the final date to apply or complete registration is 25 November 2025.
This round follows a successful first phase (about 4,870 beneficiaries reached earlier) and is backed by a major fund allocation (poster shows an amount in the billions). The aim is straightforward: transfer productive assets to low-income rural women to increase household income, improve food security, and empower women economically.

Why this matters
Giving livestock to rural women is more than charity it’s an income-generation tool. A single healthy cow or buffalo can supply milk for home nutrition, produce surplus for sale, and create a longer-term asset that improves household resilience. The program also directly supports women’s economic empowerment in rural Punjab.
