Rajasthan CM Gehlot approves DA for veterinary interns

Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot has approved a proposal to give a dearness allowance to veterinary interns on their stipend on the lines of Ayurveda and medical interns.

Veterinary interns will be given a stipend and DA allowance effective April 1, an official statement said.

The state government gives dearness allowance on a stipend to allopathy and Ayurveda department interns, but not to veterinary interns.

According to the announcement made by the chief minister in the budget for 2022-23, orders were issued earlier to increase veterinary interns' stipend from Rs 3,500 to Rs 14,000.
