in Asia. Since its inception in 1882, the staff of this institution has worked enthusiastically and

successfully to conduct a wide range of programs that have effectively catered the educational and

training needs in the field of veterinary and animal sciences. By now it has emerged as a well-reputed

center of teaching veterinary and animal science education in Asia.

This institution started a Veterinary School in 1882 and was raised to the status of the

Punjab Veterinary College by the end of the nineteenth century. Its present buildings were completed

MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR ADVANCED STUDIES

Directorate of Advanced Studies & Research came into existence

along with the University in July, 2002. Directorate of Advanced
Studies and Directorate of Research work together since the up-
gradation of the College of Veterinary Sciences into the
University of Veterinary & Animal Sciences, Lahore. In March
2007, Directorate of Advanced Studies became independent and
making progress with full sprit. Higher Education is imperative to
the development of a nation and the Universities are considered to
be the main source of higher education, research and human
resources development. Consequently, skilled man-power is
produced to work in the industrial and other technological sectors.

The postgraduate scholars are expected to produce leadership qualities in themselves and
practice higher ethical values like honesty, truthfulness, contentment and hence develop a balanced
personality in terms of their mental and physical faculties.

At the same time, I would like to emphasize that as a postgraduate, students should aim to
become and experts in their field of study, so that they could serve the nation in a befitting manner.
They are also expected to develop a holistic approach towards scientific solutions to the problems of
the Animal Sector and become the scientific leaders of the nation.

This University has awarded 4711 M.Phil degrees and 457 Ph. D degrees in different
disciplines since 2002. Currently, 914 M.Phil and 292 Ph. D students are enrolled in various
