Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC) is responsible for breeding, rearing and training of equines for the Army. It provides animals (generally mules) to the Animal Transport (AT) Units and horses to the President Body Guard as well as other Cavalry Units.

RVC is controlled by Additional Director General who functions under Quarter Master General's (QMG's) Branch. It has two Equine Breeding Studs (EBS) at Hissar and Babugarh for breeding of horses and mules and two Remount Training School and Depots (RTS&D) at Hempur and Saharanpur for rearing, training and issue of remounts. With expansion of breeding base in 1985,these depots are now performing the role of breeding also. The Corps has one RVC Centre and School at Meerut for imparting training to Officers, Junior Commissioned Officers and Other Ranks of RVC and other Arms/Services and one Record Office at the same station.

In April 1985, the breeding base of RVC was expanded by the Ministry of Defence from 2700 animals to 3973 animals (3766 mares and 207 stallions) to achieve self sufficiency in production of the animals. The additional requirement of animals was met by spending a sum of Rs7.06 crores on import of breeding stock. The actual holding of brood mares in July 1993 was 2822.
