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

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.
