What the document says, word for word

Only milch (adult female) animals of the cow and buffalo class qualify (condition 2), in every district (condition 1). The Board follows the Government of India’s National Livestock Mission risk-management and insurance guidelines (condition 9); the scheme exists so animals are not left uninsured when central funds are delayed (preamble). The amount here is the state’s share of the premium, not the sum insured.
