Shivamogga Veterinary College

Shivamogga Veterinary College is actually located in the Hebbal area of Bengaluru, with the pincode 560024. Even though the name says Shivamogga, we are right here in the city. Hebbal is a very busy part of town, so there is always a lot of traffic nearby, but once you get inside the college grounds, it feels a bit different. Since we deal with animals, you might see dogs, cows, or even horses being brought in for checkups. It is not your typical quiet office environment. There is always something happening, whether it is a student in a lab coat running across the courtyard or someone hauling bags of feed. The buildings are older and have that solid, lived-in feel to them. We spend a lot of time in the clinics and the labs rather than sitting at desks all day. The smell of the place is a mix of disinfectant and the outdoors, which we have all gotten used to over the years. It is a lot of hard work, especially when we have to stay late for an emergency with a sick animal. The staff here are mostly just people who really care about animals and do not mind getting their hands dirty. We do not have a fancy reception area with glossy brochures. It is just a place where we do what needs to be done for the animals and the students. It is a bit messy sometimes, but that is just life here.
