Message from the Dean

It is with great honor and a deep sense of responsibility that I assume the role of Dean of the Faculty of Animal Science, Veterinary Science and Fisheries at Agriculture and Forestry University (AFU), Nepal. This faculty stands as a pillar of excellence in veterinary and fisheries education in the country, and I am committed to building upon its legacy with renewed energy and vision.

Our foremost priority is to enhance academic rigor while fostering an inclusive, student-centered learning environment. We aim to strengthen the quality and relevance of our curricula, integrate modern pedagogical practices, and ensure that our graduates are not only technically proficient but also socially responsible and globally competent professionals.

Equally important is the advancement of research. We are committed to promoting a vibrant research culture that addresses national priorities in animal health, livestock production, aquatic resources, and food security. We will expand opportunities for faculty and students to engage in impactful, interdisciplinary research, and collaborate with national and international institutions.

In the years ahead, we envision transforming the faculty into a center of academic excellence and innovation—one that attracts aspiring students, dedicated scholars, and committed partners from across Nepal and beyond. Through collective efforts, transparency, and academic freedom, we will create a dynamic ecosystem that fosters innovation, ethical practice, and sustainable development.

I invite all stakeholders—students, faculty, alumni, and partners—to join hands in this journey. Together, we can elevate the faculty to new heights, contributing meaningfully to the development of Nepal’s livestock and fisheries sectors. Dr. Bhuminand Devkota
