College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry
|
The College of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry, Anjora, Durg was established on 8th September, 1985 under the Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. After the formation of Indira Gandhi Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Raipur in January 20, 1987, it is included as one of the constituent colleges. This college becomes the only Veterinary College of the state when the present State of Chhattisgarh was carved out of Madhya Pradesh in the year 2000. This was followed by the announcement of the establishment of Dau Shri Vasudev Chandrakar Kamdhenu Vishwavidyalaya (CGKV) by His Excellency the Governor of Chhattisgarh State dated 11th April, 2012. The livestock sector of the State of Chhattisgarh intends to build a dynamic livestock economy leading to improved employment, increased economy, food security and food self-sufficiency for its people. The Veterinary College under the umbrella of CGKV, is an autonomous, non-profit making educational and research organization dedicated for the upliftment of farmer’s livelihood in Chhattisgarh. Education, research and extension are the major activities of the college through grant in-aid received from State Government, Govt. of India, ICAR and other national and international agencies to fullfill need-based mandates and objectives which are :
- To impart modern education in Veterinary & Animal Sciences.
- To promote and strengthen research programmes in Veterinary and Animal Sciences for safeguarding the    animal health and improve livestock productivity.
- To undertake effective transfer of technology to pass on the benefits of research to the line departments , farmers and entrepreneurs for adoption through extension education.
The college has highly competent and experienced faculty members who have made significant contributions in research on animal health and production and various accolades of merit. The college has implemented minimum Standards of Veterinary Education Degree Course (B.V.Sc. & A.H.) Regulations, 1993 of Veterinary Council of India and accordingly, external examination system is in vogue for B.V.Sc. & A.H. 5-year programme. The college is recognized by the Veterinary Council of India and has obtained accreditation from the Indian Council of Agricultural Research.

- Veterinary Anatomy
- Veterinary Physiology and Biochemistry
- Veterinary Pharmacology and Toxicology
- Veterinary Parasitology
- Veterinary Microbiology
- Veterinary Pathology
- Veterinary Public Health and Epidemiology
- Animal Nutrition
- Animal Genetics and Breeding
- Livestock Production Management

All these departments have excellent laboratory facilities and adequate infrastructure for the undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and research, a well equipped veterinary teaching hospital to cater the demands of large and small animal health care. In addition, the college also has an elite Sahiwal dairy herd and experimental piggery, goat and poultry farm which provide adequate facilities for teaching and research. College of Veterinary Science offers the following programmes of study:
- B.V.Sc. & A.H. 5-year programme : The programme leading to the award of the B.V.Sc. & A.H. degree is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge and skills essential to a veterinary career. The programme is divided into three phases. The pre-clinical phase, undertaken in years one and two, provides education in basic sciences such as anatomy, physiology and biochemistry, as well as in animal husbandry through intramural learning. The para-clinical phase, undertaken in years three and four, includes bridging subjects between the pre-clinical and clinical phases, such as Pathology, Microbiology, Parasitology, Pharmacology and basic clinical science. The clinical phase (Surgery, Medicine and Gynaecology) starts in year four and culminates in the fifth and final year. At the end of course work the students undergo a compulsory rotating internship programme of six calendar months envisaging on the job training in animal production, technology, diagnostic laboratories and hospital practice. The various departments of the College, aided by teaching veterinary hospital ensure relevance in basic and applied biological sciences through clinical practice. Recent graduates have shown considerable satisfaction with the programme of study, as it prepared them for professional life and have developed confidence in their skills for clinical investigation and lifelong learning, in the context of animal health, production and welfare.
- M.V.Sc. : The postgraduate programme leading to the award of MVSc degree was started in the year 1995-1996.    At present MVSc degree programme as per new ICAR course curricula is offered in 14 disciplines.
- PhD : Doctoral degree programme of three years duration was started in the year 2005-2006. At present PhD          degree programme as per the new ICAR course curricula is offered in 11 disciplines.

Research
|
Research primarily focuses on animal biodiversity in Chhattisgarh, their production, nutritional and health management. Research on prevalence, treatment and control of various economically important bacterial, viral and parasitic diseases of livestock and pet animals of Chhattisgarh, was also the priority. It also includes studies on toxicology, toxico-pathology of chemicals and heavy metal, pharmaco-pathology, pharmacology and biochemistry of ethno-veterinary medicines including alternative parasite control strategies.

Extension
|
Creation of awareness with attitudinal changes among farming community to improve livestock production and productivity is the focused approach of extension. The capacity of farmers is being enhanced through transfer of skills, reduction of knowledge gap that destined to make them self reliant with the tools like participatory technology development, use of local knowledge and exposure visits. Demand based service delivery is the core thrust area.
