India’s first Equine Disease-Free Compartment (EDFC) was established at the Remount Veterinary Corps (RVC) Centre & College located in Meerut Cantonment, which is in the state of Uttar Pradesh. This facility earned global recognition from the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH), making it a significant development for Indian equestrian sports. It aligns with international biosecurity standards, allowing Indian sport horses to participate in global competitions. The choice of Uttar Pradesh for this facility reflects its strategic military and veterinary infrastructure, especially in Meerut, a city known for its historical association with the Indian Army.
