About Our Institute

WHO WE ARE

TATYASAHEB KORE INSTITUTE OF VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCE, WARANANAGAR

Affiliated with MAFSU, Nagpur, is built within one of Maharashtra’s strongest cooperative and dairy ecosystems. Backed by over five decades of leadership in education, dairy development, and farmer-centered services, the institute is committed to modern, evidence-based veterinary education with strong field-oriented clinical training.

INSIGHTS

Integrated with the Warana Milk Union — which collects and processes over 10 lakh liters of milk daily — students will receive direct exposure to large-scale dairy operations, livestock production systems, cattle feed manufacturing, herd health management, and veterinary practice. Our veterinary and para-veterinary teams actively provide 24/7 doorstep ambulatory veterinary services across the dairy network. For several years, final-year government veterinary college internship students have been trained alongside our veterinary teams through real-time field exposure in ambulatory services. In addition, the institute actively collaborates with postgraduate veterinary students in thesis-based research.

The institute also organizes annual cattle exhibitions to recognize and reward superior productive livestock, promoting genetic improvement, farmer participation, and scientific livestock management. Through the Warana Milk Union Calf Grower Program, farmers are supported with subsidized cattle purchase schemes along with livestock insurance, strengthening sustainable dairy farming and livelihoods.

With strong integration, practical clinical exposure, and modern veterinary training, the institute is dedicated to building the next generation of skilled veterinary professionals across Maharashtra, India, and beyond, with a strong focus on wholesome multispecies veterinary education.

It is my privilege and honor to welcome you to the Tatyasaheb Kore Institute of Veterinary and Animal Science, nestled in the vibrant and historic landscape of Warna Nagar, Kolhapur.

Our institute stands on a soil deep with legacy. This region, safely cradled within the beautiful Sahyadri ranges, was once proudly ruled by the legendary warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, whose principles of vision, courage, and public welfare continue to inspire everything we do. Today, Warna Nagar has transformed into one of the richest milk tracts in Maharashtra—a thriving hub of dairy and cooperative movement. It is against this backdrop of historical pride and rural prosperity that our institute proudly stands as a premier center for Veterinary excellence.

As a pioneering institution, our core philosophy revolves around delivering quality education and robust hands-on training. Animal Science cannot be mastered merely within the four walls of a classroom. Therefore, we emphasize extensive practical exposure, clinical training, and field experience. We are incredibly proud of our highly experienced and learned teaching staff. Our faculty members are not just educators; they are researchers, mentors, and industry experts dedicated to nurturing the next generation of Veterinary professionals with patience and precision.

The scope of Veterinary medicine today goes far beyond treating animals. It is intrinsically linked to public health, food security, and rural economy. Understanding this, we will try our best to give justice to curriculum of VCI which explicitly focuses on entrepreneurship and personality development. We do not just aim to produce degree holders; we aim to mould confident leaders, innovators, and job creators. Whether it is managing a modern dairy enterprise, spearheading animal biotechnology research or practicing clinical medicine, our students will be trained to communicate effectively, lead teams, and think like entrepreneurs.

We provide an ecosystem where clinical skills meet character building. By integrating state-of-the-art diagnostic facilities and livestock farms with rigorous co-curricular activities, we ensure that our graduates emerge as well-rounded individuals ready to take on global challenges.

To our prospective students, I promise a transformative journey that will turn your passion for animals into a rewarding, impactful career. To the livestock owners and dairy farmers of our region, we pledge our continuous support through extension activities and Veterinary care.

I invite you to explore our website to learn more about our academic programs, campus life, and the vibrant community that makes our institute a remarkable place to learn and grow. Let us work together to advance animal health, empower rural communities, and build a brighter future.

Dr. Anand Deshpande
