1. NATIONAL ACADEMY OF VETERINARY SCIENCES
(INDIA) - Orientation and brief History
Prof. Dr. R.N. Kohli
1.1: BACKGROUND
The National Academy of Veterinary Sciences (India) - an apex premier agency for
the development of veterinary sciences in India was established on lines similar to the
National Academy of Medical Sciences by a few eminent visionary veterinarians to
promote and consolidate the scientific views on policy matters related to Veterinary
Science and Animal Husbandry and to strive for advancement of livestock sector in
national economy through promotion of animal welfare. It has been registered by
the Registrar of Societies, Delhi vide Registration Certificate No. S-2/4471 of 1993
dated 7th July 1993 and has emerged as the largest think-tank of all branches of the
profession for research & development departments of the country engaged in animal
husbandry & veterinary sectors.
The Academy was established to promote the interests of veterinarians in the country
and was launched with Dr. Chinta Mani Singh, regarded as the doyen of Veterinary
Services in India, as its Founder President. The Academy was formally inaugurated by
Hon’ble Minister of State for Animal Husbandry and Dairying (Independent Charge)
Government of India, Dr. Raghuvansh Prasad Singh on 18th December 1996 in Vigyan
Bhawan, New Delhi, and the Scrolls of Fellowship to the duly elected National Fellows/
Members during 1994-95, were presented to them by the Hon’ble Minister at the
Investiture ceremony. The following are the aims and objectives of the Academy.
1.2: OBJECTIVES
• Promotion of Knowledge of Veterinary Sciences in India and its practical
application to problems of National welfare.
• The recognition and encouragement of merit in all branches of Veterinary Sciences.
• To secure co-ordination between Veterinary and other scientific academics,
societies, associations, institutions and Government Veterinary/Animal
Husbandry and scientific departments and services.
• To seek help and co-operation of international agencies and national bodies of
other countries.
• To act through properly constituted national committee for veterinary scientific
subjects for undertaking such Veterinary Scientific work of national and
international importance as the Academy may be called upon to perform the
public and the Government.
• To publish such proceedings, abstracts, journals, memoirs, transactions and other
publications as may be found desirable
1
NAVS Hand Book 2016
• To promote and maintain a liaison between Veterinary Medicine and other
sciences.
• To secure and manage funds and endowments for the promotion of the objectives
of the Academy, and
• To undertake any other steps that may assist in, conducive to, or be necessary for
the fulfillment of the above mentioned Aims and Objectives of the Academy.
Note: Initially, the following objective was also included in the ‘Memorandum of
Association’ but was subsequently dropped during the tenure of the next managing
body elected in 2004:
“To develop pattern(s) of a high level postgraduate examination on an all India basis in
various disciplines of veterinary Sciences to ensure uniform standard of postgraduate
veterinary qualification for which an appropriate machinery may be established”.
1.3: OFFICE ACOMMODATION

Since the Founding President of the NAVS, Dr. C.M. Singh, concurrently held the
position of President, Veterinary Council of India (VCI) also, the Academy was
registered C/o the VCI, and the NAVS functioned from the VCI premises at16/15,
Western Extension Area, Arya Samaj Road, Karol Bagh, New Delhi from 1993-2002.
Thereafter, the premises of the VCI were shifted to August Kranti Bhawan, Bhikaji
Cama Place, New Delhi. However, in May 2003, the VCI asked the NAVS to shift its
office to some other place. Accordingly, the moves were initiated to shift the office of
the Academy to some other place. However, the Governing Council meetings of the
Academy were allowed to continue to be held in the VCI premises. During March
2004, the Governing Council decided to conduct the elections, which were held from
1st April 2004. Unfortunately, the Founder President Dr CM Singh expired on 29th
June 2004. As the VCI had expressed its inability to let the Academy use its premises,
the Academy temporarily functioned from the premises of Hind Agro Industries Ltd
(HAIL), B-3, Friend’s Colony (West), Main Mathura Road, New Delhi, courtesy Mr.
Sirajudin Qureshi, Managing Director, HAIL and courtesy the newly elected President
of the Academy (Dr. S.K. Ranjhan), who was also associated with HAIL. However,
the Academy did not succeed in finding a suitable location during the tenure of this
as well as the next Governing Councils elected for the periods 2007-10 and 2010-13.
The Governing Council meetings were held during this period in various venues in
the premises of VCI, IDA, RVS, NASC etc., using the courtesy of these organizations.
Governing Council and General Body meetings of the Academy were also held at the
venues of NAVS Convocation-cum-Conventions at different institutions in various
states of India. The next Governing Council (elected for 2014-2016), which took
charge on January 1, 2014 was headed by the then DDG (Animal Sciences), ICAR
(Dr. KML Pathak) was successful in getting an office room allotted to NAVS in the
NASC Complex in New Delhi by the Secretary, DARE and Director General, ICAR
(Dr. S. Ayyappan). The office of National Academy of Veterinary Sciences (India)
was inaugurated by Hon’ble Dr. S. Ayyappan, Secretary, DARE and Director General,
ICAR on 15th January 2014 at NASC Complex, in the presence of Shri Arvind
Kaushal, Additional Secretary, DARE and Secretary, ICAR, Dr. A.K. Srivastava,
Director, NDRI, Karnal, Dr. R. P. Singh, Secretary, IAUA, and NAVS Office Bearers and
2
NAVS Hand Book 2016
members of the Governing Council headed by Dr. K.M.L. Pathak. It was indeed a matter
of pleasure that the Academy got an office of its own after 20 years of its inception with
the kind support of Dr. S. Ayyappan. The Academy profusely thanked Dr. Ayyapan for
providing the office space to NAVS. The NAVS office was soon equipped with essential
furniture and fixtures and its current address is: National Academy of Veterinary
Sciences (India), G-4, A- Block, NASC Complex, DPS Marg, Todapur Village, New
Delhi-110 012.
1.4: MANAGING /GOVERNING BODY

As per the Rules and Regulations, the Managing /Governing Body of the Academy shall
be the Council and its office bearers. The founding members of the first Governing
Council of the Academy for the period 1993 to 2004 included: Dr. C.M. Singh*

Though the Rules and Regulations stipulated a three years’ tenure for the Governing
Council of the Academy, no elections were held till 2004. In the Governing Council
meeting held in May 2003, it was decided to hold the elections as per the Constitution
of the Academy after up dating the list of the Fellows. The lists were updated by October
2003. However, as the VCI, in the meantime, asked the NAVS to shift its office from
VCI premises to some other place, the elections could not be held till March 2004,
when the Governing Council again decided to conduct the elections. Thus, the first
ever elections were finally held from 1st April 2004 and the following were elected to
constitute the second Governing Council (2004-07): Dr. SK Ranjhan (President),
Dr. Col. V.K. Bhatnagar (Vice-President), Dr. KL Sahni* (Secretary), Dr. PN Khanna

grounds on 28-2-2008, and soon after Dr. BS Nanda, Secretary, also resigned on 23-5-
2008. The Vice President, Dr. R.R. Shukla, took over as Acting President and Dr. PN

elected to these positions by the General Body at its meeting during the Convocation at
Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences & Technology, Jammu, JK held in
May 2008. At the same meeting Dr. NN Pathak was elected as Secretary with effect from
23-5-2008. On 6th July 2009 the Governing Council nominated Prof. Dr. R.N. Kohli as
Secretary for its remaining term, as Dr. Pathak was finding it difficult to function from
Bareilly. At this meeting Prof. Kohli was also nominated as the founder Editor of the

1.6: PUBLICATION HISTORY

NAVS (I) published an Information Bulletin during the tenure of the founder president
of the Academy, Late Dr. C.M. Singh. It was probably released between 2001 and 2003,
although no date is mentioned in the booklet. It contained the Aims and Objectives,
Memorandum of the Association, and Rules and Regulations of the Academy, apart
from the lists of Fellows and Members inducted in 1996,
1997-98, 1998-99 and 1999-2000. The second Governing council took over in 2004
and the Academy published Year Book 2006 and Year Book 2007 between 2004
and 2007, in which the information was updated to include the lists of Fellows and
Members inducted in subsequent years. Publication of a brief printed Newsletter was
also commenced on 1st September 2004 but the publication was discontinued after the
issue dated 28th December 2007.
Due to various problems, including financial constraints and unavoidable changes in
the composition of the third Governing Council, the Academy did not bring out any
publication during the 2008 and 2009 calendar years. On 6th July 2009, the Governing
Council of the Academy, for the first time, nominated/elected the Founder Editor of
the Academy, and decided to not only to up date the lists of Fellows and Members, but
also to present this data in an alphabetical order. Thus the first alphabetical NAVS
Directory 2010 was printed, published and distributed in early 2010 with the hope
that its reader friendly presentation of contents would enhance the level of professional
and personal communication amongst the fellows/members themselves as well as
with other professional bodies and institutions. This was followed by the publication
of electronic versions of three Information Bulletins (including a Prospectus) in the
same year.
In accordance with the decision taken by the fourth Governing Council in its meeting
held on 17th February 2011, publication of an electronic version of a quarterly NAVS
Newsletter was commenced, It is being emailed by the editor not only to the Fellows
5
NAVS Hand Book 2016
and Members of the Academy, but also to several other veterinary and allied institutions
as well as to a large number of desirous veterinarians and allied professionals. It is also
being posted on the Academy’s website: www.navsindia.org. The Academy has also
published several booklets including a Communication Directory, Policy Papers,
Proceedings of Expert Consultation Meetings, and NAVS Rules and Regulations
during period 2014 to 2016. The present NAVS Hand Book - 2016 is the first ever
publication of this nature and magnitude brought out by the Academy and fulfills
a longstanding demand of the Indian Veterinary Academicians, living in India and
abroad. For the detailed list of all publications of the Academy from its inception till
date, please see the back cover of this Handbook.
1.7: ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
At the time of publication of the first alphabetical directory itself in 2010, it was decided
to commence a gradual transformation of the contents of the future publications by
including a brief profile of the fellows and members, apart making some other changes,
a start of which had already been made in the aforesaid directory by including the
profiles of the members of the governing council and of the most recent fellows elected
in 2008-2009. It was thus stated in the editorial that “Future editions will ultimately
cover all the fellows and the members”.
Ever since I took over as NAVS Secretary-cum-Editor in 2009, there has been a general
expression of desire from the Fellowship for publication of this type of Hand Book.
However, despite abundance of specific encouragement and efforts from the past two
Governing Councils presided over by Dr. R.R. Shukla and Dr. M.P. Yadav. the idea
did not fructify earlier due to justifiable reasons. It goes to the credit of the present
president, Dr. KML Pathak, to have taken a leading initiative in this direction to fulfill
the dreams of the two past NAVS Presidents and members of their councils, as well as
that of the Editor, apart from many others in the Academy. We took up the challenge
to prove the president’s assertion that I could do the job single handedly. In fact he
was sure, more than me, in this assertion. I am profoundly grateful to him for his
inspiring encouragement. I am also grateful to the past NAVS Presidents mentioned
above by name, for always appreciating my work and for their trust in me. I am also
grateful to Dr. Lal Krishna for constant encouragement and co-operation since 2009.
I am extremely thankful to the fellows and members of the Academy for their co-
operation in this exercise and am sorry if I have annoyed some of them by my constant
time bound requests with regard to the quality of their profiles. Despite care taken to
avoid, some mistakes might have crept in the hand book for which I alone take full
responsibility and seek your pardon. Some of the fellows could not be reached and a
few others were unable to send us their profiles, obviously for justifiable reasons. The
Academy would be 25 years young in 2018 and I propose that the next more inclusive
and better edition with the profiles not only of all the Fellows but also of Members and
Associate Members be brought out then to celebrate the occasion.
We thankfully acknowledge the assistance of Mr. Naveen Joshi (ICAR) and the
co-operation of printers in compilation and printing of this Hand Book.
(Prof. Dr. R.N. Kohli is the Honorary Founder Editor of the Academy)
