In 1935, Madras Veterinary College became the first veterinary college in the country to be affiliated with a university, the University of Madras, and the Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) degree course was started in 1936. In 1969, the college was made as the Directorate of Veterinary Education and Research and became academically affiliated to Tamil Nadu Agricultural University (TNAU) in 1974. In 1989, the Tamil Nadu Government established the first veterinary and animal sciences university in Asia on September 20, 1989 with its head quarters at Chennai with the name Tamil Nadu Veterinary and Animal Sciences University (popularly abbreviated as TANUVAS) to encourage research in animal and fisheries sciences and increase its productivity towards better income generation for the resource poor farmers. TANUVAS is an autonomous institution governed by its Board of Management. The Planning Board and the Finance Committee of the university also support the university administration. While the Boards of Studies of Faculties and the Academic Council take care of the academic pursuits of the university, the research policy of the university is watched over by the Research Council of the University.
