Governor Arif Mohammed Khan has said that veterinarians have a major role to play in realising the nation’s goal of doubling farmers’ income.
Addressing the fourth convocation of the Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (KVASU) at the university headquarters at Pookode here on Saturday Mr. Khan said the goal could be materialised through the effective implementation of government programmes such as the National Livestock Mission (NLM).
He said gainful employment could be a priority for many youths who had completed professional courses. “However, employment is only a basic goal of education,” said Mr. Khan, adding that far above that goal stood social and cultural goals of emancipation, enlightenment, empowerment, empathy, the refining of character and the making of an ideal human being.
