UVAS students protest shifting of campus

Lahore, Dozens of students from University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences (UVAS) opposing the decision to shift Faculty of Veterinary Science (FVS) to varsity’s Ravi Campus, Patoki, protested on Thursday.

The protesting students of DVM programme criticized the administration which later had to ‘alter’ its decision and notified that the FVS students would have to join the Patoki campus for practical part of studies only.

UVAS Vice Chancellor Prof Dr Muhammad Nawaz said the varsity had developed various facilities at the Patoki campus while two of the faculties had already been shifted there. “The students need to be trained in the field”, he said adding “The Patoki campus has maximum facilities for veterinary training.”

He further said the campus had other facilities too including computers, internet, and hostel. “It is unfortunate that the students are reluctant to work in field”, he said adding “In the end it is going to help them in their professional lives.”
