About us

Our History & Objectives

Established to serve those who have served Tamil Nadu's veterinary and animal husbandry sector with distinction.

Our History

The Tamil Nadu Retired Veterinarians Association was founded in 1985 by a group of visionary retired veterinary doctors who recognised the need for a unified platform to address the concerns of retired professionals.

Over the past four decades, TNRVA has grown from a small collective to a state-wide organisation with members across all 38 districts of Tamil Nadu, representing thousands of retired veterinary surgeons, assistant directors, and joint directors.

The association has been instrumental in securing several welfare measures from the Government of Tamil Nadu, including pension revisions, medical benefits, and commemorative honours for senior members.

Our Objectives

• To safeguard the pension and retirement benefits of members

• To foster camaraderie among retired veterinary professionals

• To represent members' interests before Government authorities

• To organise regular meetings, conventions, and welfare programmes

• To preserve and document the history of veterinary service in Tamil Nadu

• To provide mentorship to young veterinarians entering the profession

• To support members and their families during times of need
