The Maharashtra government has increased the monthly stipend for veterinary interns from Rs 11,000 to Rs 18,000, as reported by India Today.
Maharashtra’s state administration announced a revision of the stipend paid to veterinary interns, raising the amount from Rs 11,000 to Rs 18,000 per month. The decision was reported by India Today, which cited the official announcement.
The increase aims to provide better financial support to students undergoing practical training in veterinary colleges across the state. By offering a higher allowance, the government hopes to attract more candidates to the veterinary profession and improve the quality of animal health services.
No further details on the implementation timeline or eligibility criteria were disclosed in the initial report. The change reflects the state’s broader focus on strengthening agricultural and animal husbandry sectors.
Stakeholders, including veterinary colleges and student bodies, are expected to respond to the new stipend structure in the coming weeks.
