Respected Sir @Agasyedmuntazir , during your visit to our protest, you assured us that the Veterinary Intern stipend issue would be raised in the Assembly. We respectfully urge you to take it up in the ongoing session. Your support will be deeply appreciated. @Jkvsaofficial
A delegation of the J&K Veterinary Students Association, the veterinary wing of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA), today met Agriculture Minister Javid Ahmad Dar amid continuing protests by veterinary students over their demand for an increase in stipend.
The Government cannot keep playing with the future of our youth. I stand with J&K’s 140 veterinary interns, the first defenders of public health, who are fighting for a fair stipend and basic safety equipment.
If the government has enough resources for film festivals, why invoke “financial implications” when it comes to supporting our youth? I urge HCM @adbullah_Omer@JavedDar_NC Sb to take up this issue immediately and bring stipends in line with national norms. If the government fails to act, we will raise the matter strongly in the Assembly.

Y’day, met @JavedDar_NC Sb to discuss the concerns of the protesting veterinary interns. It was reassuring to learn that he had already met with the students and had directed the university administration to initiate the matter through the proper channel and ensure that their genuine grievances are addressed appropriately.
Day 3 of our indefinite strike. Veterinary students continue to sit peacefully, waiting to be heard. Our stipend issue remains unresolved.
@JavedDar_NC@javidahmadDarjk Sir, kindly intervene and help us get a fair resolution.
Our demand is genuine. Please hear us.
The concerns raised by the JKVSA interns deserve a fair and compassionate consideration. The demand for enhancement of internship allowance has been pending for some time, and the disparity with veterinary institutions elsewhere is understandably a concern.
Requesting the government to kindly look into the matter and engage with the interns to find a reasonable solution. Their concerns deserve to be heard.

#VIDEO || Just because they treat animals does not mean they are made of lesser soil. Vet doctors deserve dignity, a fair stipend and livelihood. The government must stop ignoring them, come to the protest site and engage with these future doctors: @IltijaMufti_@jkpdp

Sir, please address the long-pending veterinary internship stipend issue of SKUAST-Jammu & SKUAST-Kashmir. Our stipend has remained unrevised since 2011 and is only ₹6,000–₹9,000/month, while several institutions pay ₹20,000+. Kindly intervene
