ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE
CIVIL VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, BOMBAY
PRESIDENCY, FOR THE YEAR 1931-32.
I continued to hold charge of the post of Superintendent, Civil
Veterinary Department, Bombay Presidency, throughout the year
under report. I was on tour for 83 days and travelled 2,376 miles
by road and 2,875 miles by rail. During my tours, I visited 14
districts and the City of Bombay, inspected 44 hospitals and dis-
pensaries, examined building sites for 5 of these institutions and
discussed matters relating to their maintenance with Presidents of
the District Local Boards. I visited the. Chembur and Bombay
branches of the Bombay Pinjrapole in connection with an outbreak
of Surra in the former, and the cattle breeding farm at Bankapur
and Alladkatti village in connection with the protection of cattle
against Rinderpest by the Serum Simultaneous Method. I also
visited Manjri dry stock farm in connection with an outbreak of
Rinderpest and the Central Poultry Farm, Kirkee, in connection
with fowl disease. I was unable to tour during the month of
December owing to urgent duties at headquarters.
As usual I served as President of the Board of Examiners at the
annual examinations of the Bombay Veterinary College and also
conducted the supplementary examination in October.
2. Khan Saheb J. D. Buxy held the post of Deputy Superinten-
dent and my Personal Assistant throughout the year. He was on
tour for 18 days and travelled 219 miles by road and 2,136 miles by
rail. He inspected three Veterinary dispensaries in Dharwar
District and as usual, visited the Bombay Pinjrapole and its branches
to advise the Trustees of that institution on the work of their
Veterinary Department. He also visited the dry stock farm at
Manjri and vaccinated the fowls at the Central Poultry Farm against
fowl cholera.
I—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION.
3. Staff.—Mr. K. Hewlett held the charge of his appointment as
Principal of the College for the whole year under report excepting
a period of 3 days from 29th March to 31st March 1932 when he
proceeded on leave out of India prior to retirement, and Mr. V. R.
Phadke took over charge from him. Mr. Phadke the Assistant
Principal held charge of his appointment throughout the year.
4
Mr. P. Miranda retired from service from the 18th of June and
Mr. J. P. Damri was appointed in his place. Mr. M. Mohey Deen
returned from leave on 7th of August 1931 and continued to hold
his appointment till the end of the year. Mr. K. B. Nair who had
been to Edinburgh for the Post-Graduate course returned to India
and resumed his duty in June 1931 and continued to perform it till
the end of the year. Mr. A. H. Khan held his appointment
throughout the year.
4. The Students.—There were 137 students' names on the rolls
on the 1st of April 1931. (The Annual Professional Examinations
were held in April). Of these 137 students, 133 appeared for the
examinations and 86 passed successfully. Of the successful
students 20 having passed the final examination left the college;
32 were promoted to class C from class B and 34 were promoted to
class B from class A. In addition to the above, one student from
class C, two from class B and one from class A were eligible and
appeared for the Supplementary examination held in October, and
all passed. The one from class C having qualified, left the College,
the two from class B were promoted to class C and the one from
class A was promoted to class B. Twenty-three students disconti-
nued the course, 19 having failed and 4 not being allowed to sit for
the examination under college rule 51.
5. In June 1931, 27 new students were admitted to class A.
There were thus 121 students on the rolls at the commencement of
the First Session.
6. Of the 27 new students admitted, 12 were Natives of the
Bombay Presidency, 2 of Rajputana, 2 of Cochin, 1 of Travancore,
6 of Mysore, 2 of Central India, 1 of H. E. H. the Nizam's Domi-
nion and 1 of Ceylon. Of the new students, 1 had passed the Inter
Arts, 1 Inter Science, 2 First Year Arts and 23 the Matriculation or
S. L. C. Examinations. The new students classified according to
caste were 15 Brahmins, 1 Maratha, 1 Lingayat, 2 Rajputs, 6 Other
Hindus, 1 Muhammadan and 1 Singhalese.
7. The results of the Annual and Supplementary examinations
held during the year were as follows :—
In the Final year or class C, 28 students appeared and 21
passed. In class B, 54 appeared and 34 passed and in class A,
55 appeared and 35 passed. The percentages therefore this year
for the three classes were 75.00; 62.96 and 63.63 respectively as,
against 73.07; 71.87 and 67.69 last year and on the total 65.69 as
against 69.91 last year.
8. Of the 121 students on the rolls at the commencement of the
1st Session (June) 2 students discontinued the course on account of
ill health, 2 on account of family circumstances and 1 left the college
having passed the Supplementary examination. There were thus
116 students' names on the rolls at the end of the year as against
121 at the commencement.

9. On account of the present financial stringency and with a
view to minimise expenditure at the College, Government have
ordered that the total number of scholarships at the college should
be reduced from 20 to 15, five in each class—3 for youths from the
Presidency proper and 2 for youths from Sind. Accordingly the
Principal awarded three scholarships to the students from the Pre-
sidency proper. The Commissioner in Sind did not send any
scholar from Sind. There were 11 scholars already studying at the
college, 8 from the Presidency proper and 3 from Sind. There were
thus in all 11 scholars from the Presidency and 3 from Sind.
The Central Provinces Government continued stipends to
24 scholars already studying at the college. Jammu and Kashmir
Government continued stipends to their 4 scholars. Gwalior,
Chhota Udaipur, Bansda and Bhavnagar States continued stipends
to their scholars. Mysore State awarded scholarships to 2 students
already studying at the College. Jhalwar State sent 2 new scholars.
In addition the States of Mysore, Nizam, Rajgarh each sent 1 fresh
scholar. There were thus 53 students in receipt of some assistance
and 63 without such assistance at the end of the year.
10. The Students' Hostel.—The Hostel was fully occupied almost
throughout the year and many students had to seek accommodation
outside the college. All arrangements in connection with students'
Hostel and college Gymkhana were satisfactorily carried out by
Mr. Khan.
11. The Students' Gymkhana.—Football, Hockey, Tennis, etc.;
were played as usual and matches against outside teams were
arranged as in previous years. Athletic Sports were held as usual.
12. Riding Class.—In view of the imperative need for economy
the Riding class was suspended by Government. However the
class was arranged to be held as usual for the students who paid
their own fees.
13. Excursion of Students.—Local Excursions to places of
interest were made as usual.
14. The Health of Students.—The health of students in general
was good. The Medical Officer attended regularly. There was no
epidemic or severe illness.
15. Discipline.—The attendance of students at lectures, demon--
strations and clinical classes was fairly well and their behaviour
was good.
16. Clinical Instruction.-This
was carried out as usual in the
Bai Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals. During the
year under report, 2,255 in-patients and 1,123 out-patients were
treated, a total of 3,378 patients. Of the in-patients, 464 were
equines, 1,000 bovines and 791 miscellaneous. The average daily
attendance was 103. Fifteen dogs were subjected to Anti-rabic
treatment.
