The Faculty Board of Studies meet was conducted on 22nd April 2009 where critical issues pertaining to academic matters were deliberated and discussed.
The meeting was chaired by Dr. A.R. Nazki, Dean of the faculty who addressed the house on a variety of academic matters. The adoption of a new and revised veterinary curriculum as notified by VCI (vide- The Gazette of India Extraordinary Part III-Sec.4, dated 06/08/2008) was the main topic of discussion and debate. In the light of the new recommendations of VCI, various existing courses/divisions are likely to be amalgamated or discontinued and new ones introduced. A brief outline of the new recommendations was presented during the meet. Other salient points discussed were maintaining and adhering to a strict attendance record of 75% for qualifying to appear in end term exams; abolishment of re-evaluation of answer scripts (both theory and practical) as per new VCI notification (Scrutiny limited to re-totaling/unmarked answers, etc. only); strengthening up audio-visual aids in classrooms; strengthening instructional livestock farms, necropsy laboratories; social service and extra-curricular activities; proposal for remount veterinary corps under NCC, etc.
The meeting ended with a vote of thanks from Dr. R.K. Sharma, Member Secretary, Faculty Board of Studies
