Historical Background :

NEVLA was formally established on 25 November 1990 through the initiation of (mid-level technicians) para veterinarians  working in the areas of animal health services in Nepal. During the course of its history, it has completed Ten National General Assembly, five National Meetings and has celebrated 34 Establishment Day.

 Objectives :

• Develop and implement plans for the benefit of Nepalese farmers and para veterinary professionals through the promotion of creative activities related to the professional rights and development of linkages with national and international organizations.
• Work to generate resources for the protection, promotion and development of rights of its members and to expand their technical knowledge, skills and research.

Uniqueness of the Association :

Unlike other professional organizations established in Nepal, which primarily focus on their member’s right, this association from the early days of its establishment has been focusing primarily on the protection of the rights of Nepalese farmers for the commercialization, promotion and development of agriculture and livestock enterprises. It has thus been conducting activities related to the protection and promotion of rights of its members alongside its primary focus. This association believes that prosperous Nepal can be built by the economic transformation through the modernization, commercialization and industrialization of the agriculture and livestock businesses. It is due to this belief that the association gives primary priority for the advocacy of the protection and promotion of the rights of Nepalese farmers. It is the uniqueness of this association that the rights of the members are addressed next to the rights of the broad farming communities.
