About College of Veterinary Sciences (CoVS)
The College of Veterinary Sciences has a glorious past, formidable present and a promising future for development of veterinary education and research. The college has been playing a crucial role in the development of livestock sector as an instrument of rural development through its multifarious activities. The broader mandate of the college is to protect animal health and increase production through creative higher education and research in veterinary sciences.
