Our history: After establishment of college in
year 1986, the Department of Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics till 1991 was
clubbed with another clinical department. In July 1991, the department was
declared as an independent department.
Our strengths:
Teaching
· Undergraduate and post-graduate teaching in the department (as per VCI and ICAR curriculum) is mainly focused on different diagnostic and therapeutic interventions useful for managing the reproductive ailments of various domesticated animals.

Research
· Research projects funded by different national agencies i.e. Department of Science and Technology, Indian Council of Agricultural Research, Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojna, Ministry of Agriculture, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, National Innovation Foundation and Himachal Council of Science, Technology and Environment, have been carried out.
· Research is focused on different aspects of infertility management in cattle and buffaloes with modern diagnostic techniques.
· Semen cryopreservation and its propagation through artificial insemination in migratory flocks, thus, helping inconservation of the Gaddi and Chegu goat germplasm.

Public outreach
· Organizing infertility treatment camps throughout the State.
· Organizing trainings and workshops for Veterinary Officers on improvement in diagnostic and therapeutic interventions.
· Imparting technical knowledge to Veterinary Pharmacists through training on artificial insemination for achieving optimum conception in field conditions.
· Organizing trainings for farmers on aspects leading to better production and reproduction status of the livestock reared by them.
· Salient highlights
o Infertility camps (Last 10 years; Camps = 432; Animals treated = 9964)
o Ambulatory camps (Every week in collaboration with Veterinary Clinical Complex)
