Updated on: Friday, November 04, 2011

To meet the growing demand for veterinarians in Tamil Nadu, the AIADMK government will set up a veterinary college in Thanjavur district at a cost of Rs 85.12 crore.

"An amount of Rs 16.34 crore has been allotted for the purpose this year and 40 students will be admitted from next year," an official statement here said.
 
The hospital, proposed to be built on 100.57 acres at Orathanadu in Thanjavur district, will also be a research centre which would address the needs of the Delta district with respect to cattle population, it said.
 
Two veterinary colleges are presently functional in the state but these were not enough to produce adequate number of veterinarians, the release said.
