Governance & Structure

The Veterinary Association of India (VAI) is built on a foundation of transparent governance, inclusive representation, and legally sound frameworks. Under the aegis of ARDF, our structure ensures that every decision is guided by ethics, accountability, and national relevance. From the Executive Committee to State Chapters, each body plays a vital role in shaping the future of veterinary science in India.

Executive Committee:

The Executive Committee is the driving force behind VAI’s strategic direction and operational excellence. Comprising seasoned professionals and sectoral leaders, this committee oversees policy formulation, campaign execution, and institutional growth. Every member brings vision, integrity, and a deep commitment to the veterinary fraternity.

VAI’s Advisory Board is a think tank of eminent experts, academicians, and policy influencers. It provides strategic counsel, scientific guidance, and thought leadership across clinical, educational, and regulatory domains. The board ensures that VAI remains future-ready, globally benchmarked, and aligned with national priorities.

 State Chapters:

 Our State Chapters serve as grassroots pillars of VAI’s mission—connecting veterinarians across regions, languages, and specialties. These chapters facilitate local outreach, member engagement, and state-level advocacy. Together, they uphold unity in diversity and ensure that VAI’s impact reaches every corner of India.

VAI operates under a robust legal framework, certified and registered with national authorities including NITI Aayog, Income Tax Department (80G & 12A), MSME (Udyam), CSR-1, and GeM.
