animals are being referred to this hospital. He revealed that University is working on good quality semen and better quality bulls for breed improvement and supplying the semen to the farmers of the state.
While discussing different points Dr. Gill suggested that university should start small courses of animal husbandry for self-employment of youth. He said that fisheries is a good avenue to generate better income. He shared that we should try multifarious livestock activities because we can’t survive only on agricultural cereal production and we have to support and supplement the agricultural income with livestock interventions so especially for the small and marginal farmers. He categorically emphasized that the State Government should provide a one-time grant of minimum 50 crores to GADVASU which will support their projects and in terms help the farmers through better extension as well as research in the livestock and fisheries.
