BVC Alumni Association

1886 was the year of historical significance to Animal World in Asia. On 2nd of August that year, an institution,
devoted to animal welfare was born in Bombay. This also marked the rise of one of the noblest professions in India. During last hundred years Bombay Veterinary College affectionately called BVC has presided over the growth and
development of Veterinary Science and Profession, which w

as a saga of many ups and downs and of many obstacles
crossed. Those of us who have passed through the portals of this noble institute and have lived to see it complete
the centenary are really a fortunate lot. We have a responsibility to see this institute on road through the second
century. As Alumni we owe this to our Alma Mater and as citizens, we owe this to posterity of our country. Out of
these feelings, precisely, an idea of an association of BVC Alumni came to the fore and further crystallized during
the centenary year. The lead taken by successive Deans and their colleagues, encouragement by several
distinguished past students, has resulted in the formation of BOMB AY VETERINARY COLLEGE ALUMNI
ASSOCIATION on 4.12.1987 (Registered under Society Registration Act. 1960 vide Mah. S. D.) The Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association has wide scope of animal welfare activities embellished in
its objectives. Presented here after 1986, is the first comprehensive constitution in details alongwith a list of
members till Ma\ 2l H13. During these 17 years the Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association had the administration under an
Agricultural University, the Konkan Krishi Vidyapeeth at Dapoli, Dist. Ratnagiri and now under the state level
Veterinary university-The Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University at Nagpur (since 2000), with a
spread of all five Veterinary and one Dairy Science College under its wings. The Bombay Veterinary College Alumni
Association is proud to state that all these five colleges have most of its graduates in senior placements. The
graduates from Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association are not only spread in Maharashtra but throughout
the world, where there is a Veterinary College, there is a Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association graduate!! Who is deeply involved in the welfare of the animals, the motto being healthy animals - safe foods - healthy man. The Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association graduates are also found in a variety of diverse services such as
the Maharashtra and Union Public Service Commissions and UPSC's where they serve as Deputy Commissioners,
Deputy Collectors, Police Officers (IPS), Technical Officers in Banks, Army Officers (RVC), Registrars, Tehsildars
etc... Our graduates have reached towering heights by holding senior positions in pharmaceutical, as well as
health-care industries traveling all over the world. There are many who have settled down in various parts of the
world and hold very good positions. Therefore the Bombay Veterinary College Alumni Association holds its head
high when these men and women fondly visit the premises. The first constitution was adopted by the Managing Committee on 4.12.1987. It was later amended on 31.1.1991. The latest constitution was revised and additional regulations inserted in the year 2003, which may be subject to
change in the forthcoming years. 10
