Kadipur Animal Hospital to be revamped under Rs 100 cr project

In what comes across as the first mega project of the newly constituted Haryana Government, the Kadipur Animal Hospital will be revamped at a whopping Rs 100 crore. The hospital will also be provided state-of-the-art facilities to make it a modern veterinary hospital. A mobile vet van was also flagged off today.

Gurugram Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said an MoU was signed between the Animal Husbandry Department and the Vedanta group, which was aiding in the revamp as part of its CSR (corporate social responsibility) initiative. The hospital will not just benefit Gurugram but also the entire NCR and other districts of Haryana which lack specialised veterinary care. “The company has prepared a project report to make the government animal hospital in Kadipur a veterinary centre of excellence, which will be implemented in two phases,” said Yadav. The project would soon get approval from the Animal Husbandry Department and start within a month’s time, said Yadav.

A committee has already been formed at the district level which will monitor the work and services being done in the hospital.

The Vedanta group spokesman said that the building of the Kadipur Animal Hospital, built on 1.78 acres of land, had become old and needed renovation. Keeping this in mind, the company prepared a project report on its renovation in the first phase.

The official spokesperson of the company said a general OPD, medicine store, private OPD, reception, lobby, laboratory, OT room, post-operation care unit, director room and doctor’s room etc. would be built afresh.

“In the second phase, work will be done to get the staff quarters and building renovated. With the renovation of this hospital, the livestock owners of Gurugram will be able to get much better facilities for the treatment of their sick animals,” he said. A modern veterinary ambulance was also launched by Vedanta.
