Various research programmes have been running since 1995 under the aegis of the said Directorate I joined the West Bengal University of Animal & Fishery Sciences as Vice-Chancellor on 7th August, 2014. I fervently hope that in the coming years we will get more opportunities to expand our educational and research activities in the national and international arena. Our faculty members have already proved this by getting international fellowships, awards and have also been invited to present their papers in the international congress, symposia and conferences. I am confident that with the co-operation of all concerned I would be able to take this University to its new height.
