The meet was formally inaugurated by the Vice-Chancellor of the Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University P. Thangaraju. The meeting noted that considering the importance of vegterinary science, seven States have already set up exclusive Veterinary universities while the government of Haryana was in the process of following through having constituted a core group of experts to work out the modalities in this respect. Dr. S.K. Nagpal, president of the IAVA and Dean, College of Veterinary Sciences, Hissar in his address has underscored the importance of ‘grass anatomy’ and said the faculty members were increasingly feeling that research productivity was being over-emphasised while teaching contributions were minimised in the faculty recruitment.
