To increase awareness among the college students about the career prospects in Animal Health Industry various initiatives have been taken up by INFAH in the past few months.
As a pilot study, a team of INFAH members conducted session on 'Opportunities in Animal Health Industry' at 3 colleges. One was suburban government college, one suburban private college and one city-based college. In comparison to city-based college, the colleges situated in suburban areas had shown a very positive response towards a career in AH industry.
A team led by Chairman of HR subcommittee, Dr. B. P. Manjunath had approached the College of poultry Production and Management at Hosur in Tamil Nadu which offers B Tech in poultry production and technology for the session. The students and staff were overwhelmed to know about the job opportunities offered by the AH industry. Such poultry institutes can be a very good source of talent for the poultry health industry.
The College of Avian Sciences and Management, formed under the aegis of Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, offers 3 years poultry integrated course. They have invited us to speak to the students on personality management, while doing so we will expose them to Animal Health Industry too.
