Kerala Government Veterinary Officers’ Association organized an online orientation programme ‘KGVOA EMBRACE’ on 14.02.2023 for the, newly appointed 75 veterinary surgeons in AHD. The Programme was a commendable initiative. As we know, veterinary surgeons in Animal Husbandry Department are often loaded with various schemes and responsibilities such as panchayath schemes, department schemes, treatment, vaccination, management of public and other responsibilities outside their curriculum. This can make it challenging for them to manage their duties effectively and efficiently. Therefore, it is important for KGVOA to provide our new members with the necessary knowledge and guidance to carry out their duties efficiently. The welcome speech delivered by Dr. Kuriakose Mathew (Gen secretary, KGVOA) and the presidential address by Dr. Dilip Chandran ( President, KGVOA) gave a brief description about Kerala Government Veterinary Officers Association and welcomed all new recruits The class handled by veteran clinician Dr. Deepu Philip Mathew on ‘Clent and Hospital Management’ was a great way to provide new veterinary doctors with the necessary knowledge and skills to manage clients and hospital procedures to conduct their duties effectively. Dr. Shameem Alungal handled a class on ‘Beginner’s guide to AHD service’ which would definitely help the new recruits to have a robust idea about the service related matters which they have to do immediately after joining. The class was well appreciated by all participants. Dr. Manu Mohan delivered vote of thanks. KGVOA ensured to continue the orientation programs and providing ongoing support to the new recruits.
