Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar visited the Bihar Veterinary College campus in Patna on Saturday to inspect the newly constructed buildings. He looked at the new Directorate of Animal Husbandry and the State Level Resource and Training Centre. The visit aimed to check the arrangements made for farmers and livestock owners who will use these facilities for skill development.
How will this benefit farmers and livestock owners?
