About the College

The proposal for establishment of Second Veterinary College in Assam was first submitted by the Hon’ble Minister of Veterinary, Govt. of Assam and the Director of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary, Assam to the Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR) Regional Committee Meeting held at Guwahati on 5th and 6th July, 1985. The proposal was based on the need of about 1400 additional veterinary doctors to carry out the various developmental works of the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Department of the state of Assam in the 7th Five Year Plan period. The ICAR has agreed in principle the necessity of second Veterinary College in Assam and requested the Vice-Chancellor, Assam Agricultural University to submit a formal proposal to the ICAR. Subsequently, Govt. of Assam constituted a site selection committee. Based on the report of the Committee, the Joyhing Grant No. 65 under Tribal Belt was considered for establishment of second Veterinary College and directed the Assam Agricultural University to establish the college. As a result, the second veterinary college named as Lakhimpur College of Veterinary Science (LCVSc) was established on 1st April, 1987 at a temporary site in Azad, North Lakhimpur within the campus of the office of B.C.P.P. scheme of A.H. and Veterinary Department, Govt. of Assam.

The present site of LCVSc at Joyhing is 11 km away from the Circuit House of the North Lakhimpur town. The black topped PWD road viz., Veterinary College Road with a total distance of 13.5 km was constructed by the PWD in 2001-2002 connecting the other campus at Upper Joyhing. The Upper Joyhing campus in future will be developed for integrated farming system. Distance between the two campuses is 2.5 km. The College is located 7km away from Lilabari Airport and 4km from Lilabari Railway Station.
