==History==
[[Veterinary science]] education in Myanmar began in 1890 during the [[British Burma|British colonial rule]] when the '''Veterinary Assistant Training School''' was opened at [[Baho Road|Shan Road]] in [[Kyimyindaing township|Kyimyindaing]], [[Yangon]]. The school offered a two-year program, and senior veterinary officer Bhattiwallah was its first principal. In 1920, the school was upgraded, and the faculty was expanded by 12 veterinary inspectors and five veterinary superintendents, all non-Burmese. In 1923, the first Burmese veterinarian, [[Pe Than]], a graduate of [[West Bengal University of Animal and Fishery Sciences|Bengal Veterinary College]], was appointed a vet superintendent at the school. In February 1925, Governor Sir [[Harcourt Butler]] laid the foundation stone for the construction of the school's new building in [[Insein township|Insein]] that would later bear his name. By 1931, the original two-year program had been extended to three years.{{citation needed|date=August 2009}}

In 1957, the '''Veterinary College''', a Faculty of [[Rangoon University]] was established at the Insein campus. The school's four-year BSc (Veterinary) program accepted university students who passed Intermediate Science Part II with distinctions in zoology, chemistry and physics. In 1964, the college became the '''Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science''' (IAHVS) ({{my|တိရိစ္ဆာန်မွေးမြူရေးနှင့်ဆေးကုသရေးတက္ကသိုလ်}} {{IPA-my|təɹeɪʔsʰàɴ mwémjùjé n̥ɪ̰ɴ sʰé kṵθa̰jé tɛʔkəθò|}}), under the [[Ministry of Education (Burma)|Ministry of Education]], offering a six-year BVSc program. From 1957 to 1975, the two-year vet assistant program at the Veterinary Assistant Training School and the bachelor's degree program at the IAHVS were concurrently offered by two different government ministries. In 1981, the IAHVS was relocated to Yezin, [[Pyinmana]] (now part of [[Naypyidaw]]). In October 1999, the institute's name was formally changed to the present name in both English and Burmese.{{citation needed|date=August 2009}}

History

[edit]

Veterinary science education in Myanmar began in 1890 during the British colonial rule when the Veterinary Assistant Training School was opened at Shan Road in Kyimyindaing, Yangon. The school offered a two-year program, and senior veterinary officer Bhattiwallah was its first principal. In 1920, the school was upgraded, and the faculty was expanded by 12 veterinary inspectors and five veterinary superintendents, all non-Burmese. In 1923, the first Burmese veterinarian, Pe Than, a graduate of Bengal Veterinary College, was appointed a vet superintendent at the school. In February 1925, Governor Sir Harcourt Butler laid the foundation stone for the construction of the school's new building in Insein that would later bear his name. By 1931, the original two-year program had been extended to three years.[citation needed]

In 1957, the Veterinary College, a Faculty of Rangoon University was established at the Insein campus. The school's four-year BSc (Veterinary) program accepted university students who passed Intermediate Science Part II with distinctions in zoology, chemistry and physics. In 1964, the college became the Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Science (IAHVS) (တိရိစ္ဆာန်မွေးမြူရေးနှင့်ဆေးကုသရေးတက္ကသိုလ် [təɹeɪʔsʰàɰ̃ mwémjùjé n̥ɪ̰ɰ̃ sʰé kṵθa̰jé tɛʔkəθò]), under the Ministry of Education, offering a six-year BVSc program. From 1957 to 1975, the two-year vet assistant program at the Veterinary Assistant Training School and the bachelor's degree program at the IAHVS were concurrently offered by two different government ministries. In 1981, the IAHVS was relocated to Yezin, Pyinmana (now part of Naypyidaw). In October 1999, the institute's name was formally changed to the present name in both English and Burmese.[citation needed]

During the 1990s, the UVS like most universities in the country was repeatedly closed by the military government fearing of student unrest. On 31 December 1994, the institute came under the administration of the Ministry of Livestock and Fisheries.[citation needed]
