The Rajasthan University of Veterinary and Animal Sciences (RAJUVAS), Bikaner, is the only veterinary university in the state. It accommodates more than 1,200 students, a few of whom discussed with me their uncertain future.

The last vacancy for veterinary doctors came out in 2013. Since then, they have been waiting eagerly for vacancies to be filled. Life in the college is lived through strikes, meetings with ministers, etc. for their problems to be heard.
