The Indian Veterinary Regulatory Framework

Veterinary Council of India (VCI): VCI was established under the Indian Veterinary Council Act, 1984 with a vision to oversee veterinary education and practice in India. It is responsible for maintaining the quality of education, authorizing veterinary practitioners, and setting standards for professional conduct.
Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying (DAHD), under the Ministry of Fisheries, Animal Husbandry and Dairying, is responsible for animal health and welfare by formulating and implementing policies.
Central Drugs Standard Control Organization (CDSCO), under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is responsible for the regulation of veterinary drugs and biologicals.
State Veterinary Councils are set up at the state level and are responsible for registering veterinary practitioners and enforcing regulations within their respective states
The Indian Veterinary Council Act, 1984, and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960, form the bedrock of veterinary practice. However, recent interpretations and amendments require industry leaders to seek in-depth understanding.
