CM Punjab Veterinary Internship Program 2025: Get Rs. 60,000 Monthly Stipend
The Punjab government just launched something big for veterinary graduates. Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz announced a comprehensive internship program that’s putting Rs. 600 million toward training 1,000 young vets and para-vets across the province.
If you’re a fresh graduate with a DVM degree or a livestock diploma sitting at home wondering what’s next, this could be your break. The program offers real hands-on experience and a monthly stipend that actually covers your expenses while you learn.
What’s the Stipend?
Here’s what you’ll earn during the internship:
Veterinary Graduates (DVM holders): Rs. 60,000 per month
Para-vets and Livestock Assistants: Rs. 40,000 per month
That’s not pocket change. For most fresh graduates, especially those in rural areas where private sector jobs are scarce, this is a solid starting point.
Who Can Apply?
You’re eligible if you meet these requirements:
- Hold a DVM degree recognized by the Higher Education Commission (HEC)
- Or have completed a two-year Livestock Assistant Diploma (LAD)
- Have a Punjab domicile
- Are under 25 years old
- Haven’t worked in government service before
- Are preferably a fresh, unemployed graduate
The program is spread across all 36 districts of Punjab, so whether you’re from Lahore or a smaller district, there’s a spot for you. The government has also reserved quotas for veterinary assistants, AI technicians, and lab assistants to make sure everyone gets a fair shot.
How to Apply
The application process is straightforward. You apply online from home through the Punjab Jobs Portal at www.jobs.punjab.gov.pk.
Here’s what you do:
- Go to the jobs portal and create an account (or log in if you already have one)
- Search for “Internship (Vet Graduate)” or “Internship (Paravet)”
- Find the listing for your district and click Apply
- Fill out the form carefully with your personal, academic, and professional details
- Upload your documents: CNIC, degree or diploma, transcript, domicile, and a passport photo
- Double-check everything before you submit
- Save your Application ID for tracking
Make sure your documents are clear scans in PDF or JPEG format. The portal has size limits, so keep your files under that threshold.
What Will You Actually Do?
This isn’t a desk job. You’ll be working in the field, getting real experience in:
- Veterinary hospitals and clinics
- Livestock farms
- Vaccination drives
- Disease control and prevention
- Artificial insemination programs
- Farm management
- Providing doorstep treatment and advisory services to farmers
The government wants interns working directly with animals and farmers, learning modern veterinary practices that you can’t get from textbooks alone.
Why This Program Matters
Punjab’s livestock sector is huge. Millions of people depend on dairy, poultry, and meat farming for their livelihoods. But the sector has challenges: disease outbreaks, poor farm management, and lack of access to veterinary services in rural areas.
This program aims to fix that by:
- Training a new generation of skilled veterinarians
- Improving animal healthcare across the province
- Boosting milk and meat production quality
- Helping farmers get free or affordable veterinary care
- Building capacity for disease control
- Strengthening Pakistan’s dairy exports
Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz said the goal is to make Punjab a hub for modern livestock and dairy development. For farmers, that means healthier animals and better yields. For you, it means stepping into a field where you’re genuinely needed.
The Bigger Picture
Look, fresh graduates in Pakistan often hit a wall. You have the degree, but employers want experience. You can’t get experience without a job. It’s frustrating.
This internship breaks that cycle. You get professional training, a decent stipend, and most importantly, hands-on work that actually counts when you apply for jobs later. After completing the program, you’ll have real skills, professional references, and a certificate that proves you’ve done the work.
Plus, you’re contributing to something meaningful. Punjab’s rural economy runs on livestock. When you help a farmer control a disease outbreak or improve breeding practices, you’re directly impacting their income and food security for their community.
Important Dates and Next Steps
The application deadline varies by phase, but you should apply as soon as possible. The government processes applications on a rolling basis, and spots fill up fast. Don’t wait until the last minute.
After you apply:
- Your documents will be verified
- Your educational credentials and PVMC registration (for DVM holders) will be confirmed
- You’ll be shortlisted if you meet all requirements
- Selected candidates get notified via SMS, email, or through the portal
Keep checking your phone and email regularly after you apply.
Final Thoughts
The CM Punjab Veterinary Internship Program 2025 is one of the better opportunities the government has rolled out for young professionals. It’s well-funded, covers all districts, pays a real stipend, and gives you actual work experience in a sector that desperately needs skilled people.
If you have the qualifications, don’t overthink it. Get your documents ready, fill out the application carefully, and submit it. This could be the start of a solid career in veterinary medicine and livestock development.
