P.V. Narsimha Rao Telangana Veterinary University

The establishment of Hyderabad Veterinary College under Osmani University on 5th August 1946 by His Excellency The Nizam of Hyderabad was the first step of the state towards a well founded veterinary education of the state. Andhra Pradesh Agricultural University was established in 1964 on the lines of Land Grant Pattern of Farm universities in USA with headquarters at Rajendranagar, Hyderabad and Agricultural, Veterinary and Home Science Colleges and Research Stations were brought under its administrative control. However, the faculty of Veterinary Science remained in the fold of Agricultural University until 2005.

The Veterinary faculty was subsequently separated from the Agricultural University and a separate University in the name of Sri Venkateswara Veterinary University was formed on 12th June 2005. With its headquarters at Tirupati, the new University focused on in Veterinary, Animal and Fishery Sciences. With the bifurcation of Andhra Pradesh in 2014, the need for bifurcating Veterinary University also became imminent. It this led to the establishment of Sri P.V. Narasimha Rao Telangana State University for Veterinary, Animal and Fishery which was formally inaugurated on 22nd November 2014 with headquarters at Rajendranagar, Hyderabad. It got all the relevant institutes located in Telangana state under its control.
