Government today approved an amendment to a law to bring Nagaland under the jurisdiction of Imphal Central Agriculture University (CAU).
A decision in this regard was taken at the Cabinet meeting here today.
"The Union Cabinet has approved the amendment in relevant clauses of the Central Agricultural University Act (CAU), 1992 to include Nagaland under the jurisdiction of CAU, Imphal," an official statement said.
After inclusion, the College of Veterinary Sciences in Nagaland will produce the much-needed professional manpower in the fields of animal husbandry, which will facilitate socio-economic growth in the region, it said.
The new college will help familiarise farmers with new techniques, thereby contributing to the production and productivity of domestic animals in Nagaland.
The amendment will help Nagaland to reap the benefit of the Imphal Central Agriculture University, which is established for the entire north eastern region, it added.
