A Proud moment for the Indian Veterinary Research Institute?

A proud moment for the Indian Veterinary Research Institute, was it a real proud moment?

It was pleasant to hear from the Director IVRI the story, of how IVRI stole the animal show at PM’s Varanasi visit. Further narrations by Dr. Bannerjee and Dr. Amarpal, the leaders of the IVRI team, were encouraging and interesting. However, in the whole story, it was shocking to know that the IVRI team was called because the PM wanted to see live surgery for the removal of polythene bags from the rumen of a cow. I was thinking and still thinking that the UP Animal Husbandry Department employing thousands of vets not have any vet capable of confidently performing the rumenotomy operation. This incident forced me to think:

1.  What quality of vets do we have? To perform rumenotomy two professors of surgery were assisted by another surgeon, and for the operation, we boasted that we had established a base on Mars or Venus. Really great!
2. What quality of vets are we producing? Is it not shameful for us, the professors and teachers of veterinary sciences in India?
3. Why are there only a few surgeons (so-called Surgeon Generals) to operate animals in IVRI and Uttar Pradesh (if it would have been an independent country UP might have been the 6^th most populated country in the world)?
4.     Why do dozens of postgraduates of veterinary surgery trained in IVRI itself and at many other renowned Veterinary colleges serving UP Animal Husbandry Department lack the confidence to show an operation to PM, and the principal secretary was compelled to call a team from IVRI?
5.  Was it really a proud moment for IVRI, imparting graduate to Ph.D. education in Veterinary science including surgery and other clinical specialties, when all the stalwarts of IVRI were to be present to demonstrate a simple operation?
6. Is this the quality of vets in the UP Animal Husbandry Department, do they really deserve that for which they are fighting and going on strike?
7. Where is veterinary education going to lead the country, and how is it going to double the income of poor farmers through animal husbandry?
8. Dr. Bannerjee, the head of the Parasitology Division of Premiere Veterinary Institute (IVRI) showed parasitic eggs and microscope utility and PM asked about the availability of the technique to farmers, and the simple reply was “NO”. After 70 years of independence, our veterinary hospitals lack microscopes? What kind of development we are boasting about? 
9.  Gaumata had her stomach full of 50 Kg of polybags! Is it a matter of pride to force the cows to feed on the roadside, eating in dustbins and roaming homeless?http://www.dairytoday.in/?p=2311, http://www.amarujala.com/india-news/pm-modi-varanasi-visit-inagurates-pashu-arogya-mela-rally-in-shahanshahpur-uttar-pradesh, http://www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/modi-in-varanasi-live-surgery-of-goat-cattle-to-be-demonstrated-in-front-of-pm/story-NziFsnhiWw6i17Zxl9MMII.html
