Bhubaneswar: Doyens of veterinary science were felicitated on the Teachers’ Day at a function organised by the upcoming Institute of Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry, proposed faculty of veterinary sciences of SOA, here on Monday.
The veteran professors of the discipline were delighted at the SOA decision to set up the institute saying Odisha needed to have a second such facility as there was only one government-run institute in the State.
