The Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (RAJUVAS), Bikaner, is the only veterinary university in the state. It accommodates more than 1,200 students, a few of whom discussed with me their uncertain future.
The last vacancy for veterinary doctors came out in 2013. Since then, they have been waiting eagerly for vacancies to be filled. Life in the college is lived through strikes, meetings with ministers, etc. for their problems to be heard.
A student told me that according to Swaminathan Ayog's report, there should be 11,000 doctors present in the state for animals. However, students say that the total number of positions for veterinary doctors is 2,000, in which 1,100 are still vacant.
Students who have completed their Bachelors and Masters courses from the university and now pursuing further studies desperately wait for vacancies to be filled as well. Their tensions mount everyday.
