Proceedings of the Punjab Government (Ministry of
Agriculture) in the Veterinary Department,
No. 743-D., dated the 19th February 1926.
READ—
Annual Report on the Punjab Veterinary College, Civi, Veteri-
nary Department, Punjab, and the Government Cattle
Farm, Hissar, for the year 1924-25.
THE activities of the Veterinary Department in the
Punjab as usual were in the year under report divided into
three distinct sections, namely:—
(1) the Punjab Veterinary College;
(2) the Civil Veterinary Department proper; and
(3) the Government Cattle Farm, Hissar.
In all of these branches substantial progress was made
as the Note on Veterinary Progress by the Director of Agri-
culture amply portrays.
2. The Punjab Veterinary College.—The staff at the
College was strengthened by the provisional appointment of
Mr. A. C. Aggarwal, M.R.C.V.S., in the post of Professor
of Hygiene, which had been vacant since 19th November
1923. The lateness of his appointment resulted in Hygiene
having to be taken up by students in their 4th year instead
of their 3rd year, a fact which increased the burden on the
students in their final year. The results of the examina-
tions of the 2nd and 3rd year students were very satis-
factory.
3. The announcement of the new rate of pay, viz., Rs.
100—10—200—10—300, for Veterinary Assistant Surgeons
resulted in a large increase in applications for admission to
the College, no less than 125 being received in May 1924.
Of these, after careful selection, the Principal accepted 37,
thus bringing the total number of students in the College to
107. The course of study prescribed at the College is
necessarily a fairly severe one, and the rigid selection of
those best equipped by preliminary education to undertake
it with hopes of success is undoubtedly the right policy to
adopt. Government agrees further with the views of the
2
Principal in regard to the limitation of admissions to the
College, as it is obviously economically unwise to glut further
the already over-glutted market with trained Veterinary
Surgeons, for whom no employment is available or is likely
to be available until public opinion becomes much more
alive to the need for their services. There are already signs
that this awakening is beginning and the support now being
accorded to the College by the Indian States is a significant
indication of this. Government also is now happily in a
position to improve the prospects of the alumni of the
college by increasing the staff of the Civil Veterinary De-
partment to which 7 Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and 6
Veterinary Assistants were added during the current year.
4. As regards the hospital work, very satisfactory facts
are the increase in the number of out-patients, most of
which were Bovines and the confidence engendered in the
public by the anti-rabic treatment. The success in the lat-
ter line makes it all the more disappointing that paucity of
staff and the preoccupation of the existing staff with teaching
and supervision have left little time for research work for
which as remarked last year the college is so eminently
suitable.
5. Colonel Walker's appreciation of the work of the
College Staff, and of the good behaviour and keenness of the
students is noted. To Colonel Walker himself the thanks
of Government are due for the zeal with which he has ad-
ministered an important institution. The enthusiasm with
which he has introduced and placed on a sound footing the
higher course of study now in force, will have far-reaching
effects in providing the Punjab with a staff of well-equipped
Veterinary Surgeons for the growing requirements of the
Province.
6. Civil Veterinary Department.—Mr. Quirke, the
Chief Superintendent, was on leave from 2nd April 1924 to
24th December 1924, during which period Mr. Branford,
Superintendent, Cattle Farm, Hissar, officiated for him.
The most striking feature of the report is the increase in the
work done by the district staff both on tour and in the hos-
pitals. The provision of an increased grant for travelling
allowances has, as anticipated, had the most beneficial results.
The figures show an increase of 30 per cent, 32 per cent and
