Pashudhan Bima Portal:
Union Minister for Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying launched the Pashudhan Bima Portal in New Delhi.
- A centralized, single-window e-governance portal designed to digitize and manage the entire lifecycle of livestock insurance—ranging from farmer application submission and policy underwriting to grievance redressal, claim verification, and payout processing.
- Developed and administered by the Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD).
- Aim is to bring transparency, efficiency, and accountability into livestock risk underwriting, reduce delays and fraud in claim settlements, protect rural households against economic shocks arising from livestock mortality, and enhance dairy farmers’ income sustainability.
- Brings livestock farmers, State Animal Husbandry Departments, insurers and veterinary officers onto a common digital platform, enabling coordinated insurance administration.
- Paperless End-to-End Digital Workflow: Digitises the entire insurance cycle, from applications and premium calculation to policy issuance, death claims and post-mortem certification, reducing paperwork and delays.
- Enables real-time monitoring of claims and settlement status through auditable digital records, helping accelerate processing and reduce disputes and pending cases.
- Available in 13 languages, including 11 regional languages plus Hindi and English, making livestock insurance more accessible to pastoralists and rural livestock owners.
- Links with the Bharat Pashudhan database and 12-digit ear-tag identification system, helping verify animals and prevent duplicate policies or fraudulent mortality claims.
