Chairing a high-level review meeting at Mantralaya, CM Sawant directed concerned officials to adhere to strict timelines and ensure seamless coordination with the Government of India. The meeting focused on fast-tracking key aspects of the project, including land transfer, infrastructure upgrades, faculty recruitment, laboratory setup, and the establishment of livestock farms.
“I have instructed officials to ensure that all groundwork is completed on time. The Veterinary College will begin functioning this academic year without fail,” the Chief Minister announced following the meeting.
