    (MICA, 2023) Raj, Anand; Jhabuawala, Mustafa; Singh, Pooja; Shrivastava, Prachi; Ramasubramanian, Raghuveer; Shetty, Sharanya
    A lot of the villagers were either ignorant of the provision for a helpline by DISHA and its services, or were not willing to have any external treatment due to their personal beliefs. Many of the villagers feel that in case of emergencies, private doctors are better whereas in general govt doctors are less expensive. They don't see a reason to call the DISHA helpline. Lack of word-of-mouth communication between people who have availed services and those who haven't, but at the same time, negative reviews are shared between villagers. Differences in knowledge and responsibilities between the men and the women related to their cattle. Men make financial decisions, and women are the 'care takers.' The remedies taken by the villagers for their cattle health are curative and not preventive. Measures such as deworming, vaccination are not perceived as effective by them.
