Equal salaries, perks for vets, medical docs: CM

PATNA: Veterinarians operating with the state govt will any longer get salaries and allowances on par with clinical doctors, chief minister Nitish Kumar introduced on Monday.


Addressing an animal and fisheries assets division’s (AFRD) event at Gyan Bhavan here, Nitish mentioned, “It isn't correct that doctors who deal with human beings get upper wage. For us, the doctors treating the farm animals are similarly necessary. Hence, the state govt has decided to hike the wage and allowances of veterinary doctors,” the CM mentioned.


The state govt has 2,052 sanctioned posts of veterinary doctors within the AFRD. Veterinary doctors underneath the aegis of Bihar Veterinary Association (BVA) were hard wage and allowances on par with the clinical and AYUSH doctors for the closing several years.


“Currently, a veterinarian serving underneath the AFRD will get Rs50,000 to 60,000 much less in line with annum in comparison to clinical doctors because of non-provision of the dynamic confident profession progression (DACP) scheme for the vets,” BVA’s deputy convener Ray Chandra Paswan informed TOI. “Though clinical and veterinary doctors sign up for the Bihar govt’s service on the same basic payscale, the former will get an greater wage because of inclusion of the advantages of four DACPs of their profession of 20 years. There are two major differences within the wage and allowances of clinical and veterinary doctors. While clinical and AYUSH doctors get the benefit of four DACPs of their profession of 20 years, the veterinary doctors get none throughout their profession.


The different distinction is the clinical doctors’ age of retirement varies between 65 and 67 years while veterinarians retire on the age of 60 years,” Dr Paswan mentioned. A BVA delegation had met the CM closing week and demanded the benefit of four DACPs for them like the other doctors. Nearly part a dozen states have been already offering the advantages of DACPs to the vets.
