Laying of the Foundation Stone for the Establishment of the State Veterinary Hospital
Today, I had the privilege of attending the Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony for the establishment of the State Veterinary Hospital, organised by the Government of Meghalaya, Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary.
The programme was graced by the esteemed presence of Shri Conrad K. Sangma, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya, along with Shri Sanbor Shullai, Hon’ble Minister of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary, Government of Meghalaya, and senior officials of the Department, including Shri Shakil Ahamed, Chief Secretary, Government of Meghalaya.
I am deeply grateful and honoured to have had the opportunity to participate in this important occasion alongside our dedicated office-bearers and colleagues.
The establishment of the State Veterinary Hospital is a significant and much-needed step for the farmers and livestock rearers of Meghalaya. It will greatly strengthen veterinary healthcare services and provide much-needed support to those whose livelihoods depend on livestock farming.
The hospital will benefit farmers and livestock owners who rear cattle, pigs, goats, poultry, and indigenous hill cattle, helping them access better veterinary care, disease prevention, treatment, and timely assistance during outbreaks of infectious diseases.
This initiative will not only help protect and improve the health of our livestock but will also contribute towards strengthening the rural economy, farmers’ livelihoods, food security, and the overall socio-economic well-being of the people of Meghalaya.
I sincerely appreciate the efforts of the Government of Meghalaya and the Department of Animal Husbandry & Veterinary in taking this important initiative forward. May this institution become a strong pillar of support for our farmers and livestock rearers across the State.
Jai Hind 🇮🇳
Jai Meghalaya 🙏
