The Veterinary Council of India
(VCI) is the premier statutory body within India's veterinary
domain under the Indian Veterinary Council Act (1984). The Act also
has a provision ( Section 32 ) for State Veterinary Councils
(SVCs). The mandate of the VCI and the SVC’s is to regulate the
veterinary practice and ensure uniform veterinary education
standards in India. The Indian Veterinary Council Act has
jurisdiction all over the country. A State within the Indian union
adopts this Act by resolution in its legislative assembly passed in
pursuance of clause (1) of Article 252 of the Indian
Constitution.
