OUR ALMA MATER
In 1947, India attained freedom as an
independent nation. Before independence, the state Central Province and Berar used to depute the
students for graduation in Veterinary Science to other colleges of the country
.In post independent era, the State
Government proposed to establish Veterinary College in the State as a postwar development scheme and on
8th July .1948, foundation
stone of CP & Berar College of Veterinary Sciences, Jabalpur was laid by late Shri Jai Ram Das Daulat Ram,
Union Minister for Agriculture Government of India. The venue of the college
was temporary establishment at Hospital campus Ordinance Factory Khamaria. The
founder principal was Dr. M.Y. Mangrulkar, M.Sc., M.R. C.V. S., D.T.V..M., who
was an eminent Pathologist and Educationist. The teaching staff consisted of
late Dr. H.N.C Chelva Iyengar (Professor
Anatomy and Officiating Principal) with additional support by Professor of
Chemistry, Professor of Zoology, Professor of Animal Husbandry and Assistant
Professors of Physics, Botany and Animal Husbandry. To start with 55 students
were admitted in 1st year B.
V. Sc. coming from C.P.and . Berar, Orissa, Mysore and Ajmer. The College was
affiliated to Saugar University and no tuition fee was charged.On the contrary
20 students were awarded state stipend.
In April 1949 the Ministry of Defence
got vacated the entire premises of the hospital of Ordinance Factory on account
of Hyderabad action. Thereafter, the Veterinary college was fortunate to be
transferred from Khamaria to its present prestigious premises (The Residency, Commissioner’s
office, the prime land of Jabalpur city, comprising of 25 acres of land).
The University of Jabalpur
(Presently R. D. V.V. ) was made functional in 1958 from Hospital block of the Veterinary College campus. Earlier the
college was affiliated to Saugar University but from 1958, the college was
affiliated to Jabalpur University for
awarding Degree of B. V. Sc. under Veterinary faculty. There were 12 Departments headed by state Professors. On
Reorganization of the states in 1956,
the Agriculture College was started in
the Animal Husbandry wing of the Veterinary
College. During the tenure of Principal Dr Mangrulkar Post Graduate
program of MVSc was instituted at this college in 1961 in
Pathology,Bacteriology and Animal Nutrition. This was a milestone in the field
of Veterinary Education since only a few colleges in the country had Post
Graduation facilities at that time. Since
1970, Doctorate program was instituted initially in Microbiology ,Animal
Nutrition and subsequently to almost all other departments.
A new era dawned with establishment
of Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwa Vidyalaya in the year 1964 when the Veterinary College Jabalpur now popularly
called “College of Veterinary Science
and Animal Husbandry, Jabalpur” along with
College building spread over in 25 acres of land in Civil Lines and
composite livestock farm, Adhartal, having 350 acres of land including a
Fishery tank became constituent unit of
J.N. K. Vishwa Vidyalaya.. During this time Dr R.L.Kaushal ,then Principal ,College
of Veterinary Science and AH, Mhow, an eminent Educationist and Administrator (
who later became Vice Chancellor of JNKVV in 1976 ) was appointed as the Dean
of the College as well as Dean ,Faculty of Veterinary Sciences,JNKVV. There was
remarkable all round expansion , development and new activities in the faculty during this period. Presently, the faculty is
containing 19 Departments with posts of
Professors, Associate Professors and Assistant Professors as per I.C.A.R.
Norms. .Almost all the departments are having M. V. Sc. and Ph.D. teaching
programmes in addition to undergraduate teaching. Department of Wildlife is the
latest addition in the faculty, which is working in collaboration with forest
department of Madhya Pradesh. Up till now
approximately 3000 students have been awarded degrees of B,. V. Sc.
& A.H., M. V. Sc. & A.H. and Ph.. D.
These students of this Alma mater
came from all over the country and abroad
and after getting the degree from this college, are serving
the profession with zeal and
dedication.
Our
Alma mater has a distinction among all other colleges of JNKVV in achieving
highest standards of teaching and research.As a result , in whole of JNKVV,
teachers of only this college have been conferred with prestigious national
awards of ICAR like Hari Om Ashram award (Drs B.S.Malik and S.K.Tanwani ), Rafi
Ahmad Kidwai award (
Drs
J.L.Vegad, R.P.Awadhiya ,G.N.Kolte ) National fellow award ( Dr M.C.Agrawal )
beside Jawaharlal Nehru awards for post graduate research and other awards and
distinctions from the Scientific Societies and Academies.
The
Alma mater has contributed immensely to the scientific knowledge with
international impact and the same has been reflected in recent publication of
JNKVV Research Achievements, 1960-2002 ,
Faculty of Veterinary Science and Animal Husbandry edited by Dean Dr V.P.Singh et
al and released on 6th March,2003. Thus the Alma mater has made
original contributions on inflammation, schistosomiasis, spirochaetosis, new
castle disease, immunodiagnosis,
characterization of Malvi and Nimari cattle breed, Kadaknath poultry
breed, helped in increasing fish production ; has developed Dwarf bird (
Narmada XL) , Colored bird ( Krishna J), black pig which are favoured by the
tribes. Important research has been carried out on semen, and its preservation,
artificial insemination in poultry and small animals, energy metabolism, use of
unconventional feeds, muzzle printometry, anaesthesia, pharmacological effects
of medicinal plants ,ketosis in high milk yielders, studies on tiger’s bones
facilitating medicolegal cases, different management practices for domestic
animals. The scientists are well aware about the new trends in Veterinary
research and have equipped their laboratories with modern equipments.
AN OVERVIEW OF JABALPUR VETERINARY COLLEGE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
INTRODUCTION: In the heart of heart, every student has a strong
feeling of belonging to his mother institute- College of Veterinary Science
& AH, Jabalpur and is always eager to know about his alma mater and also
where abouts of his colleagues. In an attempt to stand together on a common
platform and to communicate with each other sporadic attempts were made in the
past to bring them together. In the year 1952, when first batch of BVSc came
out, a veterinary college graduate club was constituted with active
participation of Drs P.N.Pathak, A.M.Shrivastava, Mahesh Mishra, Adawatkar and
later joined by Drs RP.Awadhiya, BG Katpatal,MK Rai,BS Sathe and others. During
silver jubilee year celebrations (1975-76) the Old Boys Association was formed
with active participation of Drs RG Dhawedkar, GN Kolte,RP Awadhiya, AM
Shrivastava and others .They published a list of Veterinary Graduates of the
college but this enthusiasm could not be sustained and the Association became
dormant after some time.
On the occasion of the golden jubilee
celebrations of the College of Veterinary Sciences & AH ,Jabalpur
(erstwhile C.P. and Berar College of Veterinary Sciences,Jabalpur) , about 200
ex-students who had come from different states assembled in the college
conference hall at 9.30 a.m. on 17th Feb, 1999. They gave their
introduction and also exchanged their feelings. Some of them have met even
after 25-30 years. The atmosphere was charged with emotions and sentiments. At
this moment they decided to form the Jabalpur Veterinary College Alumni
Association (JVCAA), which will help in interlinking the alumni, beside
upliftment of the profession and the alma mater. On 18th Feb 1999,
alumni again assembled in the college auditorium at 10 a.m.. Constitution of the
proposed association and its rules and regulations were framed and approved
after thorough discussion. Simultaneously, members of the executive council
were also elected unanimously for first terms of two years.
PRIORITIES DECIDED: The executive council members located at
Jabalpur started meeting frequently for streamlining the matter. All members
were unanimous on certain points and tried to rectify them for smooth
functioning of JVCAA.
- All the members were unanimous that this JVCAA should be given a sound footing so that it may continue forever unlike to past experience where two attempts aborted after some time.
- During collection of funds for golden jubilee function, some confusion was created by the Golden Jubilee committee among the members coupled with no information of postponement of celebration dates. This resulted in resentment by some members. The JVCAA executive showed its helplessness for such deeds but assured total transparency in their action and finances as well.
- The first step was to open JVCAA account in the Bank of India (No.19773) and printing of Receipt books so that every amount received by JVCAA should be authentically acknowledged. It was also decided to publish the financial report every six month.
- It was decided to register the JVCAA under Madhya Pradesh Society and Firms Ltd hence the application along with the required fee was submitted to the Registrar. It is a matter of pleasure that JVC Alumni Association was registered on 18th Oct 2002 vides No JJ 6389. JVCAA is now pursuing to receive income tax rebate, if possible, on the donations it is receiving from the members.
- The treasurer was presenting the financial statement at every six month duration and also during general body meeting being held on 8th July. There was internal control on the finances, which are spent, very judicially resulting in fixed deposits of Rs 1,00,000/ despite meeting out all the expenses. After registration of the JVCAA, it was decided that the accounts should be checked by a duly qualified Chartered Accountant hence from the financial year 2002-2003; the accounts are to be audited by a qualified Chartered Accountant. The financial year will be from April to March of the year.
- It was decided to make life members and charging only one time subscription, which facilitates fund management. Therefore, Rs 500/ was decided as life membership. A fresh membership drive was made to enrol new members with filling of membership form containing family details. Presently, we are having 294 life members of JVCAA beside 25 student members .Out of 158 alumni residing in Maharashtra, 81 have become members of JVCAA
- To publish JVCAA Directory containing all the personal information so that members can know each other more closely. The directory was published on 8th July 2000 incorporating 163 members and distributed free of cost to the members as well as to the new members enrolling thereafter.
- To communicate among the alumni in a better way and to exchange important personal events i.e. promotions, marriage honours, it was decided to publish a JVC Alumni Association News Letter on regular basis. The first JVC Alumni Association News letter was published in May 1999 and till date 12 have been published by JVCAA.
- It was also decided to celebrate college foundation day on every 8th July, irrespective of Sunday or holiday and to convene General Body Meeting of JVCAA on 8th July. No separate letters will be issued to the members in this regard and members may consider it as a standing invitation.
ACTIVITIES; The JVCAA started publishing
the News letter quarterly incorporating items on general body meeting, alma
mater news, alumni news, list of new alumni members, change of address, health,
death, marriage, honours and distributed among the members. Since cost of
publication and postage was high, from the year 2003, the newsletter is being
printed half yearly so that it will maintain its importance and will cut the
cost.
Just after
formation of JVCAA, it started celebrating college foundation day on 8th
July from 1999 and released its first Directory containing information of 163
members on 8th July, 2000.The revised directory containing biodata
of about 300 members is being released on 8th July 2003, free of
cost, as promised to the alumni .The forenoon of the foundation day is devoted
to the activities of JVCAA and holding GBM. There is exchange of greetings,
introduction of new members, distribution of certificates, reports by the
General Secretary, Treasurer, address by the President and felicitations of the
members attaining 75 years of age or 50 years of married life, condolences for
the departed veterinarians etc The JVCAA is arranging lunch for all its
Association members. After noon is for celebrating college foundation day where
all the staff, employees and students of the college are invited. . The evening
witnesses beautiful cultural program being organized by the students. The
celebrations are receiving full cooperation from the Dean of the college who is
also funding cultural program being organized by the students.
STUDENT’S PARTICIPATION: To encourage
students of their alma mater, JVCAA is providing merit cum poverty scholarships
one each to the student of 2nd, 3rd 4th and final year
BVSc & AH, arranging games, debate,
cultural activities and awarding the certificates to the winners.
To develop
pride to their mother institute, it was decided by JVCAA to make student member
on a lifetime subscription of Rs 400/ so that they may be involved more deeply
to JVCAA. Till date, there are 19 student members of JVCAA.
AWARDS; Further boosting of student’s
moral came when our alumni started donating funds for awards to the students.
The first award of Rs 5001/ was enacted by Dr R.K.Gupta, Veterinary
Officer,Mandla to the best out going student
of the college in the memory of his mother late Smt Shanta Devi Gupta . This
award was first bestowed to Dr Aditya Mishra (2001 batch) on 8th
July 2002.
Three more Gold
Medal awards are constituted by JVCAA with the donations received from Drs
Rajesh Sharma and Varsha Sharma, S.K.Shrivastava and S.K.Gupta for the students
securing highest marks in Microbiology, Surgery and Gynaecology in the fond
memory of Late Dr Vidyanand Shukla, Smt Sharda Devi Shrivastava and Smt Ganga
Bai Gupta respectively. These awards will commence from 2001-2002 batch and
will be awarded first time on 8th July 2003.
Many members
are interested that one award should be instituted in the name of first
Principal of the college i.e. Late Dr M.Y.Mangrulkar and Dr H.N.Chelva Iyangar
As four awards have already been instituted for the students, a suggestion has
come that we should make the awards as Oration awards where an eminent
veterinarian (preferably an alumnus) may be invited to deliver the talk on
veterinary profession on 8th July every year. This has the approval of JVCAA executives
and the oration may be started as soon as possible.
ZONAL CHAPTERS: To extend the
activities of JVCAA, it was decided to activate the states and cities where a
good number of members are existing. Therefore, zonal secretaries were given responsibility
to contact the members, arrange meetings regularly etc.
Maharashtra Chapter was started from July 2000 looking to the
large number of alumni belonging to the state as well as their enthuastic
participation in JVCAA activities. Maharastra chapter arranged millennium
General Body Meeting at Nagpur on 7th Jan 2001 where 36 members
including executives from Jabalpur gathered and exchanged the greetings etc. It
is a matter of pleasure that Maharastra chapter is regularly meeting specially
on 18th Feb as foundation day of JVCAA, arranging technical
meetings, lectures, workshop and forwarding the aims of JVCAA.
