In a press release, the Minister stated that there is a Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University in District. But I wanted the Animal Husbandry Department to set up a cattle breeding centre to cater to the priorities of the local farmers. I had prepared a detailed plan in this regard and was working on its implementation. Now that the Cabinet has also approved it, a cattle breeding centre will be set up in the area soon, he noted.
