The department has also issued the final lists of successful women for different districts.
These districts include:
- Multan
- Khanewal
- Lodhran
- Vehari

The transparent balloting process aims to ensure that livestock reaches eligible and deserving women.
Rs. 3 Billion Programme
The second phase carries a budget of Rs. 3 billion. The government received 75,666 applications from women across Punjab. After verification, 15,396 applicants qualified for the balloting process.
The government then selected 3,304 women through e-balloting. Therefore, the programme has used a digital and transparent process to identify beneficiaries.
Supporting Rural Women’s Economic Empowerment
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has placed strong emphasis on the economic empowerment of rural women.
The programme supports this vision by providing women with productive livestock assets. A cow or buffalo can provide milk for household consumption. It can also generate income through milk sales. Moreover, livestock ownership can help women develop a sustainable source of income.
Thus, the programme aims to move beyond short-term financial assistance. It seeks to create long-term livelihood opportunities for rural women.
Animal Distribution to Begin October 20
The distribution of animals under Phase II will begin on October 20, 2026. With 3,304 women selected, the programme is expected to provide new economic opportunities to thousands of rural households.
