Office of the Chancellor
On the livestock sector's place in the national economy, and the obligation it places on educators.
Livestock is not a secondary chapter of Pakistan's agriculture — it is the larger share of it, and the livelihood of millions of farming families depends on how well we manage it.
The sector contributes approximately 55.1 percent of the value added in agriculture and 11.6 percent to the national GDP, while directly supporting the incomes of farmers across the country. Its performance is therefore not a technical matter for specialists alone; it is a national economic question.
Improving that performance rests on a small number of things done well: breeding, animal health, feeding, marketing, and the training of the workforce that carries all four into practice. Each of these is a discipline taught and researched at this university.
Addressing the challenges before us — achieving self-sufficiency in food and promoting social security — is a moral and professional obligation on educators, researchers and every stakeholder in this sector.
I appreciate the leadership of the Vice Chancellor, the progressive approach of the faculty, and the commitment to learning shown by the students of this university. I am confident that CUVAS will continue to develop into an institution the province and the country can rely on.
