The Department was divided into two zones comprising Jorhat as upper Assam Circle and Guwahati as lower Assam Circle headed by Veterinary Inspector.The Veterinary Assistant Surgeons and Supervisory Field Assistants worked in the dispensaries under the Veterinary Inspector. The Veterinary Inspector was responsible for regular inspection of Veterinary Dispensaries.
