# Telangana halts vet college notification after Sakshi report on protest 2026-09-22T09:01:39+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Telangana government has stalled a notification for faculty appointments at the PVP Siddhartha Institute of Veterinary Sciences in Vijayawada after a Sakshi TV report showed veterinary students protesting the recruitment process. Students alleged the notification, issued by the college's management on 29 April, bypassed proper selection procedures and favoured certain candidates. The protest drew attention to demands for a transparent, merit-based hiring system. Following the report, officials at PVNR Telangana Veterinary University ordered a halt to the notification pending review. They stated that the recruitment must comply with university norms. Students have suspended their protest pending the outcome of the university's inquiry. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The veterinary students had been demanding a competitive exam and merit-based selection since the college was taken over by the state government. Their protest highlights a recurring tension in Telangana's professional education sector, where promised reforms often collide with administrative delays. The PVP Siddhartha Institute of Veterinary Sciences is one of the few private institutions offering the B.V.Sc & A.H. degree in the state. Its takeover by PVNR Telangana Veterinary University was intended to standardise admissions under the University's control. The outcome of this protest will signal whether the state's regulatory bodies can enforce transparent recruitment timelines, or if stalled notifications will remain a pattern that students challenge again. ## Coverage - telugu360.com Tags: PVNR Telangana Veterinary University, PVP Siddhartha Institute of Veterinary Sciences, Sakshi TV, Telangana government, Vijayawada Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/telangana-halts-vet-college-notification-after-sakshi-report-on-protest/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
