GOVERNMENT OF ASSAM
ORDERS BY THE GOVERNOR
Resolution on the Veterinary Report for the year 1940-41
Extract from the proceedings of the Government of Assam in the
Education Department No.Vety.—473/41,
dated the 8th
January 1942.
READ—
The Report of the Director, Veterinary Department, Assam, for the
year 1940-41.
In the year under review there was increased activity
both in service and research.
The total mortality from all causes numbered 35,017
against 48,317 in 1939-40 and 59,241 in 1938-39. But the
Government are particularly glad to note the striking fall in
the number of deaths from Rinderpest to 10,447 as compared
with 25,826 in 1939-40 and 34,120 in 1938-39. Rinderpest
has, in the past, caused widespread havoc among the cattle
of the province, but if the preventive vaccination and inocu-
lation continue to be done with the same vigour and tenacity
as in the year under report it should soon be brought under
control. There were 853 outbreaks of Rinderpest against
1,279 in the previous year and in these outbreaks 7,779 animals
were reported to have died uninoculated against 22,996 in
the previous year. 413,321 animals were vaccinated with the
Goat-Tissue-Vaccine and 81 animals inoculated in Serum-
alone method against 335,384 and 354 respectively in the
previous year. Only 1,009 vaccinated and inoculated animals
died against 1,964 of the preceding year. It is satisfactory
to find that the Goat-Tissue-Vaccine has been so popular
with the masses. It is both cheap and efficacious.
There appears to be a growing appreciation of the services
rendered by the Department. The number of animals treated
for contagious diseases dropped from 51,876 in the previous
year to 29,059 in the year under review but the total number
of cases treated rose to 194,632 compared with 177,270 in
the preceding year. Castrations performed by the bloodless
method increased to 37,364 from 33,997 in the previous year.
The Department continued its research and investigations
in various matters but the most notable results achieved
through investigations in collaboration with the Imperial
Veterinary Institute, Mukteswar, related to "Bovine Conta-
gious pleuro-pneumonia" and a disease in pigeons which may
serve as dangerous "carriers" of para-typhoid in human beings.

Government had the advantage of a visit from Mr. F. Ware,
Animal Husbandry Commissioner with the Government of
India who attended a Conference on Johne's disease and
furnished advice on several scientific matters.
Some Local Boards again gave cause for adverse comments
in connection with veterinary matters and the Director of
Veterinary Department has again dwelt upon the undesirable
effect of the dual control of the Veterinary Staff on the effi-
ciency of the administration and emphasized the desir-
ability of entirely provincialising the Department like other
Departments.
The Government congratulate Rai Sahib S. C. Ghosh,
Director, Veterinary Department who has since retired on
superannuation after short extension of service, on the growing
popularity and activities of the Department and thank him
for his interesting report.
By order of the Governor of Assam,
R. DHAR,
Deputy Secretary to the Government.

PART II.—Treatment of diseases

diseases, other diseases and from other causes. The figures for this statement have
been supplied by the field staff and adopted with such check as was possible.
For obvious reasons these figures are to be considered only approximate.
From the statement it will be seen that the total mortality from all causes was
40,507 against 45,508 of the previous year. Of this number the mortality from
Rinderpest alone was 6,934 against 9,527 of the previous year.

Part VI—General Remarks
54. It is my pleasure and privilege to present the Annual Report of the
Civil Veterinary Department, Assam, once more. Owing to the war conditions
there was scarcity of paper for which the elaborate reports for previous two years
were not submitted to Government according to the Government instructions.
I am glad to be able to report that the Department not only well maintained the
Quality and Volume of Service rendered in the past but had been able to make
further notable advances during the year under report.
10
schemes to the Government for their consideration. Among these schemes the
scheme for the establishment of Veterinary Vaccine Section in Assam and Veteri-
nary Hospitals in the district headquarters and appointment of two (2) Deputy
Directors are most important. In this connection, I would like to impress upon
the Government that the Director, Veterinary Department, Assam, is perhaps
the only Head of the Department in India who has been working single-handed
without any Officers of the Gazetted rank, such as Deputy Director, Assistant
Director, etc., to help him for smooth running of the Administration of the
Department. I had on several occasions moved the Government for their assis-
tance in this respect but unfortunately I was not favoured with it.
63. It would be unfair not to acknowledge the services of the Veterinary
staff as a whole for their enthusiastic contribution and willingness to shoulder
additional burdens to present a healthier season. A mention must also be made
for the good work of my Inspectors who did everything for furtherance of the
cause for which they were employed. I should like to record the valuable services
put in by Rao Sahib V. R. Gopalakrishnan, Veterinary Investigation Officer,
Assam, and Mr. A. Rahman, Assistant Investigation Officer (Poultry). I wish to
record my appreciation of service which my office under the supervision of my
Head Assistant Babu Satya Bhusan Sen and Officiating Head Assistant Babu
Akshay Kumar Deb, B.A. rendered.
64. My thanks are due to the Commissioner of Divisions, Deputy Commissio-
ners, Subdivisional Officers, Chairmen, Local Boards for assistance they have
rendered me. My sincere thanks are also due to the Ryots of the Province
whom I had met and who had given me their active co-operation. I must also
thank the Animal Husbandry Commissioner with the Government of India and
the Director, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Mukteswar, for their
co-operation and help. My thanks are also due to the Director, Civil Veterinary
Department, Bengal for the assistance he had given to this Department, through
his Veterinary Vaccine section though at times the demand for vaccine was great.
I also mention the name of Mr. Woodford, Director of Agriculture Assam, for the
assistance he had rendered me and my staff in carrying out Veterinary work in the
Government Farms under his control.
