Chief Minister Punjab Veterinary Internship Program

In an inspiring move to empower the youth and uplift the livestock sector, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Maryam Nawaz Sharif, has launched the Veterinary Internship Program 2025 — a paid opportunity for veterinary and para-veterinary graduates to gain field experience while earning a respectable monthly stipend of Rs. 60,000. Yes, you read that right — earn while you learn, and actually help your community while you’re at it.

Purpose of the Program

This internship isn’t just a handout — it’s a smart, well-thought-out step toward building a stronger, healthier Punjab. Here’s what it’s designed to do:

Give jobless veterinary and para-vet graduates a chance to work in the field and sharpen their skills.
Improve access to animal healthcare services across all 36 districts of Punjab.
Support local farmers with vaccination drives, disease control, and improved livestock care.
Bridge the gap between academic knowledge and real-life veterinary practice.
