Health202343 sections9 chapters

This Act creates the Andhra Pradesh Para Veterinary and Allied Council to regulate para-veterinary, dairy, and fisheries technicians and educational institutions within the state. It applies to diploma holders, veterinary support staff, and training polytechnics across Andhra Pradesh. Under the law, all practicing technicians must be registered, and training institutions must meet strict standards to obtain council recognition. By standardizing curricula, conducting uniform examinations, and restricting unregistered practice, this framework ensures that only qualified professionals provide animal healthcare support. This ultimately improves livestock management, safeguards animal welfare, and prevents academic fraud in veterinary education.
