Kerala Veterinary & Animal Sciences University

Vice Chancellor Message

• Taking in to account the growing importance of technology in education, I am very happy to inform you that Kerala Veterinary and Animal Sciences University, Pookode is offering Technology enabled Distance learning programmes in the areas of Livestock agri entrepreneurship, food security management and Farm Journalism.

• The stagnation of employment in developed countries and apparent early recovery in developing countries has renewed perceptions of a global shift in employment to the developing world. Major changes like Liberalization, Globalization and Privatization have opened up avenues for graduates to enter in to new generation occupations and employability skills.

• Kerala Veterinary and animal Sciences University is launching various distance learning programmes under technology enabled mode. University’s School of New Media and Research and Distance learning Centre will offer these programmes under technology enabled mode. As part of Technology enabled programme, video conferencing and shared class room facilities will be installed at the colleges and research institutions of the University. Students can attend contact classes from their home or work places where internet access is available. Amrita University’s acclaimed software will be used for this purpose. Students can login from their computers and interact with the teachers. University is planning to start two technology enable distance learning courses in the area of ‘One health and Ethno-Veterinary medicine’.

• Innovative teaching makes class room interactive and interesting thereby igniting and inspiring the minds of students. There exists a huge gap in curriculum, teaching methods, research resources and pedagogical issues between India and developed countries. I am sure KVASU’s technology enabled distance learning programmes pave the way for creating value addition to graduates in the areas of education and career. Wishing you all success,
