After the establishment of Nagpur Veterinary College in the year 1958, the department of veterinary Anatomy was the first to start in this college. It was initially in a small barrack in the premises of Government Veterinary Hospital near Maharaj Bagh. Later on, it was shifted in the year 1962 to the old college building and subsequently to the present location in the year 1968. Dr. M. K. Hawaldar, G.B.V.C. headed the department from 1958 to 1969. After his repatriation to the State department of Animal husbandary, Dr. R. V. Pandit, M.V.Sc.; Ph.D. (USA) had taken over the charge of Professor and Head. After the retirement of Dr. Pandit in the year 1992, Dr. V. R. Bhamburkar was the Professor and Head of the department and after his promotion to the post of Associate Dean, NVC, Nagpur, Dr. R. S. Dalvi has taken over as a Professor and Head in the year 2003. In 1992, separate 15 departments came into existence under the faculty of Veterinary Science as per the Maharashtra Agricultural Universities Statutes 1990 prescribed under Maharashtra Council of Agricultural research and Education (MCAER), Pune by the Government of Maharashtra. Previously the institute and the Department was under the umbrella of SAU viz. Dr. Punjabrao Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, which was later on transferred to the 1st Veterinary University in the state and third on the national map, viz. Maharashtra Animal and Fishery Sciences University, Nagpur with effect from 3rd, December, 2000. This department has played a distinctive role in motivating the scientific community of Veterinary Anatomy fraternity in India for the cause of :
- Promotion and advancement of Veterinary Anatomy
- Encouragement and stimulation to research, education and extension in Veterinary Anatomy
- Establishment of high degree and uniform standard of Veterinary Anatomy at appropriate position in educational programme.
- Encouragement to fraternity, mutual co-operation and scientific exchanges amongst Veterinary Anatomists in India.
To achieve these goals, this department took lead in establishing the scientific society under the name "Indian Association of Veterinary Anatomists" (IAVA) in 1983, and registered this society at Nagpur with Registration No. Maharashtra/152/83/Nagpur. Since then, this department is significantly contributing and participating in the progress and development of IAVA. Another milestone in the history of this department is that since 1997, this department has become the Head quarter of IAVA with Dr. V. R. Bhamburkar, Professor and Head as Secretary and Dr. R. S. Dalvi, Associate Professor as Treasurer of the IAVA till it was shifted to Anand in 2004. The XII Annual Convention of IAVA hosted at Nagpur by this department was adjudged as the best ever convention of the IAVA held in India. The outstanding remark made by the visitors to this done by department speaks of the quality of work this department over a period of time.

Achievements of the Department
The department has a well developed set up of laboratory. There is a separate dissection hall with stainless steel top dissection tables. This hall has been partitioned into two subdivisions one for dissection of locomotor system including biomechanics and arthrology and the other for splanchnology and myology. Both units are well ventilated and well lighted. A batch of 20 students can be accommodated for dissection at a time. The second laboratory is for Histology and Osteology. The department has created air conditioned unit having facility of phase contrast and stereoscopic microscopes (Nikon, Japan) with CCD camera along with display system of set of 10 monitors and LCD projector for demonstration of histology slides. This facility is extended under FIST programme of DST, New Delhi. The third laboratory is the Hi-Tech research laboratory. All necessary equipment viz. research microscope, fluorescence microscope, cryostat, PH meter, chemical balance, triple glass distillation apparatus, automatic tissue processing unit, automatic staining machine, microtome etc. are available in this laboratory. All glassware and chemicals are provided as per requirement to P. G. and Ph.D. students.

CloseDepartmental Research Activity
In addition to post-graduate research programme, the department conducts departmental research work under the ASRC program of University. Under this program, department has completed till now 15 small projects of applied importance mostly for the benefit of field workers and animal keepers for instance:
- Study of sacral epidural space to estimate optimum doses for caudal epidural anaesthesia in cattle. Results indicate that in non descript Indian cattle, volume of epidural space is 4.5 to 6.0 cu cm. It is, therefore, estimated that 4 to 6 ml anaesthetic is required
- Per cutaneous approach for stimulation or blockade of coeliaco-mesenteric plexus and ganglion in ruminants. The exact location of coeliaco-mesenteric plexus is determined as just behind the head of last rib, which could be approached for giving Intra-abdominal medication while treating certain diseases of gastro-intestinal tract in ruminants
- Osteometric study of Hip joint in cattle.
Care should be taken to avoid slip of hip joint in cross-bred animals in cattle sheds because of the shallowness and greater surface area of acetabulum. - Comparative study of sweat glands distribution in the skin of rabbit.
The sweat glands in rabbit skin are superficial in location and do not participate in the thermoregulation mechanism. Hence, during heat stress artificial cooling system should be provided to rabbits to avoid mortality.
ICAR Research Projects :
- Revolving Fund scheme entitled "Application of Anatomical techniques for preparation of Veterinary Anatomy teaching aids" (Completed)
- NATP Project on "Draft power assessment of different breeds of cattle and buffalo" (Completed). The department has published and presented about 125 papers in scientific conventions / National symposia. This department has an honour of organizing the XII Convention of Indian Association of Veterinary Anatomists and National Symposium in Veterinary Anatomy during the year 1997
Departmental Extension Activity
The academic staff of the department regularly participates in the training programmes conducted by the college for unemployed youths and small farmers. A beautiful museum has been developed by the department, which has been appreciated by the dignitaries and visitors.
This department has run innovative ICAR Revolving Fund Scheme, through which anatomy laboratory materials such as mounted skeletons, organ specimens, and other teaching aids were prepared and supplied to other institutes. Participation of staff in TV telecast and Radio programmes for awareness of farmers and animal lovers on Veterinary Anatomical aspects.
