FISHERIES & ARD DEPARTMENT 
RESOLUTION 

The 24th April, 2012 

Subject: Restructuring of the Odisha Veterinary Service Cadre. 
Livestock production has always been an integral part of the rural economy in 

Odisha. The Animal Husbandry sector accounts for nearly 30% of the Gross State 

Domestic Product for Agriculture and allied activities. The sector has ample potential to 

substantially enhance the production of milk, egg and meat to meet the domestic market 

demands, create employment and income generating opportunities for the rural poor and 

to enhance their food and livelihood security. 

2. Keeping in view of the above aspects and in order to realize the overall goals of 

the Long-Term Action Plan, it is necessary to streamline and strengthen the Directorate of 

Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services with a focus on delivery of specialized services 

which needs an organizational structure capable of meeting the new challenges. The 

present organizational set up of the DAH & VS has been restructured to meet the 

emerging need of better animal health care and livestock production in the State.   
Considering the need to streamline livestock production and animal health care of the 

State and overall goal incorporated in the Long Term Perspective Plan, the proposal for 

restructuring of OVS cadre was under active consideration of Government for sometime 

past. After careful consideration, the State Government has been pleased to restructure 

OVS cadre in the following manner. 

1. Director, Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services, Odisha : 
The existing post of Director, Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Services, Odisha shall 

be continued as such in Pay Band-4 with Scale of Pay Rs.37,400 – 67,000 with Grade Pay 

Rs.8,700 and will be filled up by way of promotion from amongst the Additional Directors 

belonging to OVS cadre or from IAS cadre as may be decided by Government from time to 

time. The details are at Annexure-I.
