Punjab Veterinary Internship Program 2025 Announced
The Punjab Government has officially initiated the Punjab Veterinary Internship Program, the first of its kind in the province. With a funding amount of Rs. 600 million, the program will offer honorary, paid internship opportunities to 1,000 veterinary graduates and paraveterinary professionals.
In the instruction letter under the scheme, DVM graduates from the Higher Education Commission (HEC) will receive a monthly stipend of Rs. 60,000, and paravets and livestock assistants will receive Rs. 40,000 per month. Applications can be submitted through the Punjab job portal: www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk.
Benefits for Veterinary Graduates and Livestock Sector
Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif declared that the initiative would not only help young professionals financially, but it will also improve the livestock sector within Punjab. There will be animal health care, treatment, and consultation services provided in tele health format at the farmer’s doorstep. This is aimed at also modernizing the business of veterinary practice.
The government hopes to increase the volume of milk and meat production which will then be capitalized on and put into the foreign reserves of Pakistan. This plan is a long-term vision for Punjab to become a destination for livestock and dairy development.
Internship Opportunities Across 36 Districts
The Chief Minister’s Internship Program is inclusive and has fixed quotas for VI- Veterinary Assistants, AI Technicians, and lab assistants for all 36 districts of Punjab, in order to ensure fair representation of presenters from all areas.
All interested parties may apply online (at home) for free, on the official Portal. Veterinary graduate and diploma holders will get meaningful hands-on field experiences and also improve their employability and professional skills in one or more areas of livestock growth in Punjab, with the internship program.
