Vice-Chancellor of the university JPS Gill revealed that after bringing about the green and white (milk) revolutions, Punjab was now on the verge of another livestock revolution in the pig industry. The university is committed to providing all technical guidance for this upcoming enterprise, said Dr Gill.

Director of Extension Education RS Grewal in his inaugural address stated that pig farming was becoming more and more popular across the board. Similar to other farming practices, this sector’s expansion is also impeded by some obstacles, such as infectious diseases and parasitic diseases, etc., but these obstacles can be surmounted with the right information, he added.
