As soon as a bull station, the British-era Authorities Veterinary Polyclinic will quickly transfer its campus close to the Central Jail on the outskirts of Vellore city because the work is nearing completion.
Chief Minister M.Okay. Stalin will quickly inaugurate the brand new campus for the century-old polyclinic. The relocation comes after restrictions of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) on the enlargement of the present facility.
The polyclinic is situated inside the prohibited space of Vellore fort, a sixteenth century protected monument, and permission from the ASI is required for any new building or restore work to be undertaken inside 100 metres of the monument, based on the Historic Monuments and Archaeological Websites and Stays (AMASR) Act 1958.

It was situated close to the fort the place the British forces and households have been staying because it helped in monitoring of the station. As per data, Ida Scudder, American medical missionary who was the founding father of the Christian Medical School (CMC), donated an in-patient ward to deal with cows in 1923. Since then, the bull station was upgraded right into a veterinary clinic after independence and the district veterinary polyclinic in February 2019.
Unfold over 5.33 acres on the centre of the city, the polyclinic at present treats a mean of 70 circumstances every day, with milch cows, bulls, canine, and horses being the vast majority of animals handled on the facility.
Barring Sundays, it’s open between 8 a.m and eight p.m on all days. As soon as moved to its new premises, the polyclinic will operate round the clock on all days, together with Sundays, with not less than three docs and eight attendants.
