As per the last census total livestock in the State is about one crore ninety - six lakhs which shows increase of 13 per cent . comparing to the preceding census . If the people are provided with scientific and extensive training and educated in the field of veterinary and animal science , the yield from animal husbandry and other occupations depending upon animal such as dairying , poultry would be more and consequently economy of the State would be strengthened . Nowadays the study on veterinary and animal science have become the need of the people , engaged in the aforesaid occupations . It is , therefore , necessary to establish a special and separate University imparting education in the veterinary and animal science covering fisheries and other allied science in this regard . Consequantial amendments are also made in the Gujarat Agericultural University Act , 1969 .

The main objectives and functions of the University are as follows: -

(i) Making, provisions for imparting education , furthering the advancement of learning and conducting of research ; undertaking the extension education through appropriate media in veterinary , animal husbandry , dairying , poultry , fishery and allied sciences ,

(ii ) Making provisions for the study of basic science with a view to support other professional studies and thereby integrating such studies in the University carricula .

: (ifi ) Undertaking the integration of teaching , research and extensive education with a view to promote the productivity in veterinary and animal science .

As the Gujarat legislative Assembly is not in session , this Ordinance is promulgated to achieve the aforesaid objects .

STATEMENT

The Gujarat Panchayats Act , 1993 was enacted so as to bring the law relating to the panchayats in the State in conformity with Part IX of the Constitution of India relating to the panchayats . By virtue of section 3 of the Provisions of the Panchayats (Extension to the Scheduled Areas ) Act , 1996 , the provisions of the said Part IX relating to panchayats are extended to the Scheduled Areas subject to the exceptions and modifications provided in section 4 of the said Central Act. In the State , there are certain areas which are declared by the President under paragraph, 6 of the Fifth Schedule to the Constitution as the Scheduled Areas . Section 5 of the Central Act provides for continuation of the provisions of the State Act relating to Panchayats till 23rd December , 1997 , although they may have become inconsistent with the provisions of the said Part IX as extended to the Scheduled Areas . It was , therefore , necessary to bring the Gujarat Panchayats Act , 1993 in conformity with the provisions of the said Part IX as extended to the Scheduled Areas .

Section 4 of the Central Act also requires the State Legislature to endow panchayats at the appropriate level and gram sabha with powers in respect of certain matters falling under other laws . It was , therefore , considered necessary to endow panchayats with powers in respect of those matters . Accordingly , relevant provisions of the Bombay Land Revenue Code , 1879 and the Bombay Money - lenders Act , 1946 are also amended.

As the Gujarat Legislative Assembly was not in session at that time , the Gujarat Panchayats (Amendment) Ordinance , 1997 was promulgated on the 20th December , 1997 to amend the Gujarat Panchayats Act , 1993 and other aforesaid Acts to achieve the aforesaid object. The said Ordinance was laid before the Gujarat Legislative Assembly in its session which was summoned to meet on the 19th March , 1998 and prorogued on the 27th March , 1998 but could not be replaced by an Act of the State Legislature in that session . By virtue of sub- clause ( a) of clause (2) of article 213 of the Constitution of India, the said Ordinance would cease to operate after the 29th April , 1998 , the date on which the period of six weeks from the date of re - assembly of the Gujarat Legislative Assembly expires . It is expedient to take immediate action to continue the operation of the provisions of the said Ordinance . Therefore , as the Gujarat Legislative Assembly is not in session , this Ordinance is promulgated to achieve the aforesaid object.
