THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (SHRI KANTI LAL BHURIA)
(a)to(c): Proposals have been received from various fora from time to time for
establishment of an Indian Council of Veterinary Research including for Fisheries
matters especially by craving out of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research. The
issue has been considered carefully and the Ministry is of the opinion that in view of the
emphasis on an integrated approach to farming, which calls for integration of agriculture,
livestock and fisheries sectors, creation of a separate Council of Veterinary and Fishery
Research is not feasible.
