venkat annamalai

Most of the areas in Madhavaram Milk Colony are under the control of this University and milk department.For the past 50 years because of this two departments there is no much development, now post transferring the road section to corporation and CMRL, the area is witnessing some development

alex ander

Initially when I heard that there is a veterinary hospital in Madhavaram , I did not believe it . Initially I hesitated to take my pet there. After hearing all the reviews I wanted to try . Oh God it was so big and mostly they care of cows , farmers from those areas take their cattles there , and you can see all kind of farmers flooded over there . It's very big and having big University . Having experienced faculties too . Very good University as far as I know especially in this area .
