The Dr. G.C. Negi College of Veterinary and Animal Science has continued its glorious journey since its inception in 1986 to provide quality professional education, undertake contemporary research programmes and perform farmer cum livestock owners’ centric extension and outreach activities. These broad objectives focus on animal health, production, livestock products technology and animal welfare activities. The college provides excellent ambience for quality education and academic rigor, thus, ensuring the professional success of our students. Consequently, the institution has emerged as a premier institute of veterinary education in the country.

To accomplish its mandate of teaching through Veterinary Council of India (VCI), the college has adopted Minimum Standards of Veterinary Education (MSVE) guidelines-2016 with immediate effect. The College also offers Post-graduate Programme leading to M.V.Sc. in 12 disciplines and Ph.D. in five disciplines. Till date, 935 students have received B.V.Sc. and A.H. degree. All formerly passed out graduates are serving in different parts of Himachal Pradesh, State Agricultural Universities, Central Institutions, Administrative services, Remount and Veterinary Corps (RVC), Border Security Force (BSF), Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) and other private organisations. The students of this college have excelled in academics, sports and extracurricular activities at the university and inter-varsity level competitions. Students continue to receive scholarships and fellowships at national level examinations for postgraduate studies. The college derives deep satisfaction from the multi-faceted achievements of its former students and strives for maintaining the excellence it has attained over the years.  The accomplishments achieved in teaching research and extension has helped to carve a niche in the overall development of livestock economy of Himachal Pradesh by addressing the animal health and management related issues; besides providing the trained human resources, who look after the livestock wealth of the state even in the remote tribal as well as rural areas. The college provides animal disease investigation, clinic and ambulatory services through modern facilities and well-trained faculty to the livestock owners of the state. The faculty members of the college continue to bring laurels by bagging many national and international awards and fellowships in their fields of expertise.

At this point of time, I feel delighted and would like to thank and appreciate the hard work of the faculty, staff and students for putting in their best efforts for the steady growth and development of the college.
