Directorate of Research (Vety.)



With the establishment of Assam Agricultural University in 1969, an office of the Associate Director of Research was created in the Khanapara campus to administer and coordinate veterinary research. Subsequently, in the year 1989, the post of Associate Director of Research (Vety) was upgraded to Director of Research (Vety) and a separate directorate was established to facilitate administration, co- ordination and growth of veterinary research in the University. Besides, outside funded research projects, two research stations namely 1) Livestock Research Station, Mondira and 2) Goat Research Station, Burnihat have been placed under the administrative control of the Director of Research (Vety). In the year 1988, the Director of Research (Vety) was entrusted with the responsibility of organizing and coordinating fishery research of the University. Fishery research under this Directorate is conducted at College of Fisheries, AAU, Raha and Fishery Research Centre, AAU, Jorhat. Besides, research activities on fisheries are also conducted at LRS, Mandira.
