Dated Camp Jorhat, the 3rd July 1923.
SIR,
I HAVE the honour to forward the annual report of the Civil Veterinary
Department for the year ending 31st March 1923 together with a brief report on
the Veterinary work in Manipur State.
2. Mr. Harris held charge of the Department for over 8 months and Babu
Guru Prasanna Sen, Deputy Superintendent, acted as Superintendent for the
remaining period. Mr. Harris was on tour for 84 days and Babu Guru Prasanna Sen
for 35 days. The former inspected the work of the Veterinary Inspectors of Gauhati
and Dibrugarh circles and 11 hospitals and dispensaries, and the latter inspected the
work of Veterinary Inspectors of Gauhati and Silchar circles and 13 hospitals and
dispensaries. Mr. Harris was on special training at Muktesar Imperial Bacteriolo-
gical Laboratory for 3 months and also attended the All-India Veterinary Conference
during the year under report.
Babu Guru Prasanna Sen as Deputy Superintendent was on tour for 23 days
and inspected the work of the Veterinary Inspector, Silchar, and 7 hospitals and
dispensaries.
In the Laboratory 536 specimens of various kinds were examined against 420
in previous year. My predecessor inspected 5 dispensaries, His Excellency the
Governor visited the dispensaries and hospitals at Gauhati and Silchar and the
Hon'ble Minister, Local Self-Government, visited the hospitals and dispensaries at
Gauhati, Nalbari, Mangaldai, Dibrugarh, Nowgong and Sibsagar.
3. Six scholarships were held at the Bengal Veterinary College during the year;
of the scholars, 4 were in the first-year class and 2 in the second-year class. All
the stipendiaries have passed their annual examinations and were promoted. In
addition to the above there was also one Local Board stipendiary in the first year of
the College. One student who ceased to be a Government stipendiary 2 years ago
owing to unsatisfactory progress also passed the final examination during the year
as a private candidate. No Veterinary Assistant was deputed to the College for a
refresher course.
4. The total number of deaths reported from contagious diseases was 25,309
against 30,594 in the previous year, showing an appreciable decrease in deaths. The
heaviest mortality reported was from Sibsagar.
5. The outbreaks attended to during the year were 276 against 317 in the
previous year. Out of the total number of animals inoculated which was 21,996
against 24,012 of the previous year only 153 animals died while 3,650 animals died
before inoculation.
6. One hundred and two deaths from cattle poisoning were reported by the
Veterinary Assistants of which 5 cases of arsenic were confirmed by the Chemical
Examiner of the Government of Bengal. The number of cruelty cases sent to the
infirmaries at Gauhati, Shillong and Silchar was 48 against 40 in previous year.
2
7. The number of cases treated and castrations performed by the Veterinary
Assistants on tour during the year was 62,904 against 61,759 in the previous year.
The number of contagious cases treated was 18,702 against 14,890 and that of
non-contagious cases was 43,737 against 46,194 in previous year.
The number of animals treated in the Veterinary hospitals fell from 3,802 to
3,783 and castrations performed in hospital rose from 75 to 78.
8. The number of stud bulls maintained by the Local Bodies at the end of the
year was 10 against 13 in the previous year of which 4 are in Sibsagar, 2 each in
Darrang and Nowgong and 1 each in Cachar and Sylhet.
9. There were 48 Veterinary Assistants including one lent to the Government of
Iraq in the beginning of the year. Four new appointments were made during the
year. The services of one Assistant were dispensed with, and another resigned. So
at the end of the year there were 50 Veterinary Assistants against a sanctioned
strength of 59.
