81. The Department has become poorer by premature
death of one of its devoted officers in the person of late Maulvi
Aktar Ahmed, Veterinary Assistant Surgeon who died in har-
ness when he very nearly completed his service. While I deeply
regret the loss sustained by the death of this senior member of
the Department I take this opportunity to place on record the
good service he rendered to the Department. The Department
also regrets to lose the services of Maulvi F. Ahmed, Veterinary
Inspector, who after a full career proceeded on well-earned
pension with effect from the 16th December 1939. I record my
high appreciation of service he had so loyally and jealously
rendered to the Department.
82. My entire technical staff applied themselves unsparingly
and with great enthusiasm to their duties. But for their zeal
and unflinching and loyal devotion to departmental instructions
the report I submit now might present a different picture. My
Inspectors did everything for furtherence of the cause for which
they were employed. I should like to record that Mr. V. R.
Gopalakrishnan, G.M.V.C., P.G. (Muktesar), the newly appoint-
ed Veterinary Investigation Officer, during the short period of
his service in Assam had proved himself to be an acquisition to
the Department. I wish to record once more my appreciation of
service which my office staff under the supervision of my
Head Clerk, Maulvi Muhammad Eunus rendered. Being under-
staffed both the technical and ministerial officers had to work
under difficulties. They should have this much consolation
that I was not unmindful of their needs and have been able to
obtain the Government sanction of one Field Veterinary Assis-
tant for each of the Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and three
more office assistants which must have gone a great way to ease
the difficult situation.
83. I take this opportunity to thank the Commissioner of
Divisions, Deputy Commissioners, Subdivisional Officers, and
Chairmen, Local Boards, for assistance they had rendered me.
With very great pleasure I also acknowledge the keen interest
which peoples' representatives in the Assam Legislative Assem-
bly had shown in veterinary matters. I must not forget the
ryots with whom I had the pleasure of mixing very intimately
and whose voice hardly goes beyond the boundaries of rural
areas. To them I have nothing but my sincere thanks for their
active co-operation with the Department. I must also thank the
Animal Husbandry Commissioner with the Government of India
and to the Director of Imperial Veterinary Research Institute,
Muktesar, for their co-operation. My thanks are also due to
.he Director, Civil Veterinary Department, Bengal, for the
25
assistance he rendered my Department through his Veterinary
Vaccine Section though at times our demad for the supply of
Goat-Tissue-Vaccine had been unusually heavy. I also mention
the name of Dr. S. K. Mitra, Ph.D., M.S., I.A.S., Director of
Agriculture, Assam, for the assistance he rendered me and my
staff in carrying out veterinary work in the Government Farms
under his control.
84. Before I close I think my report will be incomplete if I
fail to express my deepest sense of gratitude to the Government
for their active support in every measure I placed before them
for their consideration but for which I could not achieve the
results.
S. C. GHOSE,
Director of Veterinary Department, Assam.
