ANNUAL ADMINISTRATION REPORT OF THE CIVIL
VETERINARY DEPARTMENT, PROVINCE OF
BOMBAY, FOR THE YEAR 1937-38.
I was on leave from 24th April to 19th November 1937 and
during that period Mr. (now Rao Bahadur) V. R. Phadke, Principal
of the Bombay Veterinary College officiated as Director.
During the period of the year that I was on duty, I was on tour
for 58 days and travelled 2,087 miles by rail and 2,226 miles by
road. During the course of my tours, I visited nine districts,
inspected 30 hospitals and dispensaries and attended the District
Agricultural Show at Sanand in Ahmedabad District and the
Karnatak Agricultural Show at Belgaum and inspected the Bombay
Veterinary College.
As usual, I served as President of the Board of Examiners at the
annual examinations of the Bombay Veterinary College held in
April 1937.
Mr. Phadke was on tour for 73 days and travelled 7,810 miles by
rail and 944 miles by road. He attended the " Cattle Conference "
held in Simla in May 1937 and also the meeting of the Advisory
Board of the Imperial Council of Agricultural Research in Delhi
in November. He visited 7 districts of the Province and inspected
29 hospitals and dispensaries, inspected the office of the Deputy
Superintendent, Bombay City and Harbour Veterinary Department,
and attended meetings held by the Collectors of East Khandesh
and Bijapur in connection with the Village Uplift Scheme.
He conducted the supplementary examination at the Bombay
Veterinary College in October at which 18 students were
examined.
2. Mr. V. N. Kulkarni held the post of Deputy Director and
Personal Assistant to the Director throughout the year. He was on
tour for 63 days, travelled 5,326 miles by rail and 425 miles by road.
In the course of his tours he visited 9 districts and inspected 16
Veterinary Dispensaries. He acted as Secretary of the Veterinary
Section of the Karnatak Agricultural Show and arranged the
Departmental exhibit at that Show and also at the Show held at
Sanand.
I.—VETERINARY INSTRUCTION
3. Mr. Phadke held the post of Principal up to 20th April 1937
when he handed over charge to Mr. M. Mohey Deen, M.R.C.V.S., on
proceeding to take up the post of officiating Director. Mr. Money
Deen held charge from that date up to the end of the year. In the
vacancy caused by Mr. Mohey Deen's promotion, Mr. K. R. S. Aiyar,
a lecturer at the College, was appointed to act as Assistant Professor
and Mr. K. R. Alur, a member of the Subordinate Veterinary
Service, was appointed Lecturer. The remaining officers, viz.,
Messrs. K. B. Nair, A. H. Khan, J. P. Damri and M. K. Garu-
dachar held their usual posts.

4. The Students.—There were 113 students on the College rolls
on 1st April 1937. One hundred and twelve appeared for the
annual examination and 61 passed. Of these, 15 who had passed
the Final (Diploma) examination, left the College in the normal
course. Nine other students left the College as they had failed in
the examinations or for other reasons and 89 continued their
studies.
5. In June 1937, 54 new students and one old student were
admitted to Class A and one old student to Class B, making a total
of 145 students at the commencement of the collegiate year Of
these, four left on passing the supplementary final examination in
October and three for other reasons and there were therefore 138
students on the rolls at the end of the year.
Of the 55 students admitted to the College in June, 40 were
natives of the Province of Bombay, 2 were from Sind, 4 from
Kathiawar States, one from Indore, 7 from Kashmir and 1 from the
Federated Malay States. One had passed the B.Ag. examination
and 3 the Inter-Science examination, 26 the First Year Arts, 24 the
Matriculation and one the Senior Cambridge examinations.
6. The Examinations.—Of the 112 students who sat for the
annual examination, 30 appeared for the final, 38 for the second and
44 for the first examinations. Fifteen (50 per cent.) passed the
final, 22 (57.89 per cent.) the second and 24 (54.55 per cent.) the
first. Four students from Class C, 7 from Class B and 7 from
Class A appeared for the supplementary examination and all
passed.
7. Scholarships.—Of the 9 Government scholarships attached to
the College, 2 were vacant at the beginning of the year, four were
withdrawn as the holders failed at the annual examinations and one
scholar left the College on graduating. There were therefore
7 scholarships vacant at the commencement of the session of which
three were awarded to new students in Class A, 2 to students in
Class B and 2 to students in Class C.
The Government of Sind continued stipends to 2 scholars and
sent 2 new scholars to the College. The Central Provinces
Government continued stipends to five scholars already in the
College and the States of Kolhapur, Udaipur, Dewas, Mysore, Rewa
and Kotah also continued the stipends to their scholars. Jammu and
Kashmir Government sent 5 new scholars and Indore, Bikaner and
the Federated Malay States sent one new scholar each. There were
therefore 35 students holding stipends and 103 private students.
8. Clinical Instruction.—This was carried out at the Bai
Sakarbai Dinshaw Petit Hospital for Animals as usual. Five
thousand one hundred and fifty-seven animals were treated at this
hospital during the year, an increase of 464 over the number treated
during the previous year. Of these, 2,280 were treated as in-patients
and 2,877 as out-patients. Of the in-patients, 375 were equines,
512 bovines and 1,393 canines. Seventy dogs were given anti-
rabic treatment and the average daily attendance of all classes of
patients at the hospital was 69.

Three animals were inoculated for diagnostic purposes against
Surra and 4 animals against Black Quarter. Out of these positive
results were obtained in 5 animals (3 for Surra and 2 for Black
Quarter). Thus out of a total of 2,528 specimens received for
examination, 618 were positive as against 2,190 and 522 respectively
during the last year.
10. Employment of Graduates.—All students who graduated
during the year under report were engaged shortly after
graduation.

11. College Buildings.—The annual current repairs were carried
out by the Public Works Department.
12. General.—The Hostel, which has accommodation for 76
students was fully occupied. More accommodation could be provided
with advantage. The general health of the students was good and
the Medical Officer attended regularly.
The Gymkhana is well equipped. Most students took part in the
various games provided and annual athletic sports were held as
usual. Local excursions were made to places of instructional
interest. The riding class had to be abandoned during the year as
no students were prepared to pay the necessary fees.
Goat virus production.—Indents for 164,700 doses of virus
were received and complied with. Of these, 74,106 doses were
supplied to Indian States for which a sum of Rs. 2,249-7-0 was
realised and credited to Government. The sale-proceeds of used
goats amounted to Rs. 318 and the total cost of production
amounted to Rs. 6,583-10-6.
In addition to routine production, experimental work was
continued to determine the viability of Rinderpest virus in goat
spleen tissue when subjected to the temperatures of various parts
of the Province in all seasons of the year. The tissue was sent to
various centres and returned to the Depôt for testing. In some
cases fresh tissue was issued and in others it was despatched after
having been placed in the refrigerator for varying periods up to two
weeks. In all cases the tissue was returned for testing within
