Abstract
The present study was carried out to explore the demand and supply gap in
veterinary man power in India. The state-wise projected demand for the trained veterinary
manpower was calculated by collecting the data on livestock population for the previous two
censuses (1997 and 2003) for the 10 states and future livestock population were projected for
the years 2020 and 2025 by calculating point to point annual compound growth rate. The data
on inturn and outturn trends of veterinary graduates was collected for the 10 years and annual
compound growth rate was calculated. Based on the growth rate and outturn of veterinary
graduates, the supply of future veterinary manpower was projected. The demand for
veterinary manpower in the year 2020 will be lowest in the Kerala and Himachal Pradesh as
the projected population would be at the minimal level. The annual compound growth rate of
outturn of students were found positive, which indicated that the out turn of students are
increasing over years in all the selected states. The deficit was the highest in the state of Uttar
Pradesh (6376 veterinarians), followed by West Bengal (2871), Tamil Nadu (1405) and
Gujarat (1434). The outturn growth rate of the veterinary manpower was not proportionate
with the growing population of livestock and poultry. Hence, attention might be given to
rectify the demand and supply gap in veterinary man power in the supply deficit States to
avoid disturbance in livestock production.
