Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University

The Maharashtra Animal & Fishery Sciences University (MAFSU) established on December 3rd, 2000 with its main campus in Nagpur. The University was borne out of the four Agriculture Universities in the state by transferring five Veterinary Colleges, one Post Graduate Institute of Veterinary & Animal Sciences and one Dairy Technology College. Therefore the constituent colleges of the University are older than the University itself.

With five Veterinary Colleges, one Post Graduate Institute of Veterinary & Animal Sciences and one Dairy Technology College under its belt the University made a commendable progress since then. It is intstrumental in developing Fishery Faculty and strengthening Dairy Technology Faculty by establishing two new Fishery College at Nagpur and Udgir and one Dairy Technology College at Udgir. 

Besides ten colleges in three faculties, Director of Instructions, Director of Research and Director of Extension & Training, the University has a well developed Students Welfare Section, University Library, Bio-informatics Center and training and placement centers. With the new concepts of research and extension responsibility, the University plans to initiate and coordinate research projects with the other Universities, institutions of ICAR.
