AIZAWL — October 23, 2026: The All Mizo Veterinary Medical Student Association (AMVMSA), an association of Mizo Veterinary Sciences and Animal Husbandry students, celebrated its 25th anniversary milestone today at the Auditorium of the College of Veterinary Sciences & Animal Husbandry (CVSc & AH), Selesih.

Pu Lalsangliana, Secretary of the Animal Husbandry & Veterinary Department, graced the milestone event as the Chief Guest. He was joined by Prof. Lalnuntlaungi Hmar, Dean of CVSc & AH, and Dr. Lalnunfeli Tochhawng, Registrar of the Mizoram State Veterinary Council.

Addressing the gathering, the Chief Guest, Pu Lalsangliana, expressed his heartfelt congratulations to AMVMSA on reaching its 25th anniversary. He emphasized that pursuing a Bachelor of Veterinary Science (BVSc) equips students with vital skills crucial for achieving economic self-reliance, and urged the students to strive toward becoming valuable assets for state development.

"It is vital to possess a mindset dedicated to utilizing our knowledge and skills for the progress of our land," Pu Lalsangliana said. "To alleviate the difficulties of those who depend on us, we must master our studies and learn to work meaningfully and effectively." He further motivated the audience by stating that true success requires working with utmost sincerity and an unyielding drive for progress.

The Chief Guest also counseled the CVSc & AH students to look beyond just securing a livelihood when they graduate and look for employment. Instead, he urged them to enter the workforce with a spirit of public service. He called upon all attendees at the Silver Jubilee to give their best to their studies, gain complete clarity in their future profession, and serve the public with deep-rooted dedication.

Prof. Lalnuntlaungi Hmar, Dean of CVSc & AH, highlighted AMVMSA's status as a pivotal organization that guides the lives of Mizo veterinary students. She commended the association for keeping the beautiful Mizo cultural value of tlawmngaihna (selflessness/altruism) alive among students from diverse backgrounds and for constantly resolving various student grievances.

The Silver Jubilee function commenced with a welcome address by Dr. Lalhumliana Tochhawng, Chairman of the Organizing Committee, followed by a secretarial report presented by Dr. C. Lalchhandama, Assistant Professor.

A special felicitation ceremony was held to honor the founding Office Bearers of AMVMSA from 2001. During this segment, Dr. Blessa Sailo, Senior Scientist at ICAR, Kolasib, and Dr. K. Lalnghinglova, MF&AS, shared historical insights on the formation of AMVMSA and chronicled the past initiatives undertaken for the welfare of Mizo Veterinary Sciences students.

The commemorative program was chaired by Dr. Malsawmtluangi Ralte. Key highlights included the tolling of the Jubilee Bell and a solemn obituary reference dedicated to the memory of departed former members.

Marking this historic milestone, a administrative decision was announced to officially transfer the AMVMSA Headquarters from Khanapara to the AMVMSA Sub-headquarters in Selesih. The Selesih Sub-headquarters currently accounts for 63 active student members, bringing the cumulative historical strength of the AMVMSA to 235 members to date.
