GOVERNMENT OF THE CENTRAL PROVINCES

Nagpur, the 30th August 1933.
READ—
Letter No. 982-1-3, dated the 29th June 1933, from the
Director of Veterinary Services, Central Provinces,
forwarding the report on the working of the Civil
Veterinary Department for the year ending the 31st
March 1933.
RESOLUTION
1. Judging by the number of outbreaks and figures
of cattle mortality, the year under review was, easily,
one of the unhealthiest years during the last decade.
The outbreaks of contagious diseases numbered 12,845
against 5,784 and the estimated mortality 39,174 as
against 19,695, last year. The outbreaks of rinderpest
were 4,939 as against 1,448 last year and the toll taken by
this disease alone was treble that of last year, reaching
the high figure of 31,807.
Rinderpest usually recurs periodically, reaching its
peak, roughly, at an interval of three years. It is to be
hoped that it has done its worst during the year under
review and will now be on the decline.
The new but inexpensive method of immunising
cattle from the disease discovered by Major Stirling and
his collaborators to which a reference was made last year
is still under investigation. During 1932-33, nearly 5,000
animals were successfully protected by it. Government
will watch with interest further progress along these lines.
2. It is very satisfactory to note that despite reduc-
tion of the staff as a result of retrenchment and the
increased work on account of an unhealthy year the
department showed excellent results far excelling those
of previous years. Castrations rose from 107,966 to
119,160 the total number of cases treated including
castrations being 781,101 as against 636,637 last year.
2
These high figures are a proof of the growing confidence
of the public in the department for it is clear that cattle
owners report outbreaks far more readily than they did
in the past. In this connection, Government gladly
notes the attempts made by the department to instruct
the general public by means of propaganda at fairs and
shows and printed leaflets, about cattle diseases. It has
also learnt with interest that a proposal to institute a
campaign of destruction of stray dogs in municipal areas
is under consideration and trusts that local bodies will
co-operate fully in this effort to save valuable human and
animal lives.
The department will find in the Central Provinces
Cattle Diseases Act when it comes into force and the
recent amendment of the Forest Manual requiring
graziers to permit inoculation of herds encamping in
grazing areas the necessary means to stamp out and
control the various cattle diseases.
3. Once, again, Government would draw the atten-
tion of the local bodies to the importance of maintaining
the Veterinary dispensary buildings in good repair.
These dispensaries are doing increasingly useful work
and it is for the local bodies to see that no differences arise
in regard to the amounts of contributions to be made for
their maintenance and if, unfortunately, they arise, to
settle them amicably with the least possible delay.
4. Government is interested to learn that a society
for the prevention of cruelty to animals has been esta-
blished in Nagpur and trusts that it will soon prove its
usefulness by its record of beneficent activities.
5. Major Stirling was in charge of the department
throughout the year except for a few days towards
the end when R. S. Pillai succeeded him. The thanks
of Government are due to Major Stirling for his success-
ful administration of the department and to R. S. Pillai
for an interesting report. Government has also noted
with pleasure the names of those officers whose work
has been specially recommended.
ORDER.—Ordered that a copy of this Resolution,
together with the enclosure, be submitted to the Govern-
ment of India, in the Department of Education, Health
3
and Lands, that copies be forwarded to the Director of
Veterinary Services and to all Commissioners and
Deputy Commissioners, Central Provinces and Berar,
for information and guidance, and that it be published
in Part I of the Central Provinces Gazette.
By order of the Government,
(Ministry of Agriculture),
Y. N. SUKTHANKAR,
Revenue Secretary to Government,
Central Provinces.

I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION
7. Of the two state scholars sent to Great Britain
for Veterinary Education in September 1929, one com-
pleted the course in September 1932 and obtained the
diploma of Membership of the Royal College of Veteri-
nary Surgeons. The local government was pleased to
extend his scholarship for a further period of six months
to enable him to obtain the postgraduate diploma in
Tropical Veterinary Medicine. The other scholar is
reported to have made satisfactory progress and passed
the third professional examination.
8. No scholarships tenable at the Bombay Veteri-
nary College were awarded during the year under report.
9. The two final year Central Provinces scholars,
at the Bombay Veterinary College, detained last year for
the supplementary examination in October 1932, passed
and joined the department. Out of the nine third year
stipendiary students, seven completed the course and
