Dr C.M.

He was an excellent teacher and researcher. Later, when he joined as Dean at Haryana Agricultural University, Hisar and as Director, Indian Veterinary Research Institute, Izatnagar, Bareilly, UP he proved himself as an able administrator and distinguished veterinary educationist. His vision and thoughtful plans converted post-independent IVRI of 5 Divisions into 21 Divisions of National Institute of International fame. Due to enormous extension of research infrastructure during Five Year Plans to meet the need of farmers and industry, IVRI Bangalore Campus was developed for Foot and Mouth Diseasevaccine R&D. High Security Animal Disease Laboratory at Bhopal (now NIHSAD) was aninstitution of his visionary planning, is presently engaged in diagnosis of infectious exotic diseases including bird flu. From IVRI, two research Institutes namely Central Avian Research Institute, Izatnagar and Central Institute for Research on Goats, Makhdoom, Mathura developed separately for poultry production and goat development. His significant contribution in development of Department of Pathology and Bacteriology at Veterinary College, Mathura and IVRI as a whole is a true testimony to his dynamic stewardship. IVRI is known as Mecca for Veterinarians, owing to its uniqueness in integrating research, disease investigation, extension, technology development and teaching. After superannuating, he did not sit idly. He felt the need to reform the Veterinary Education in this country and was instrumental in creation of Veterinary Council of India and National Academy of Veterinary Sciences. He was Founder President of these two prestigious national organizations. Dr C.M. Singh had collaboration and interaction with international agencies like FAO, WHO, UNDP, SIDA, DANIDA, etc. He attended a number of international seminars and symposia on epidemiology and zoonotic diseases in different parts of the world. He guided several eminent veterinarians for their masters and doctoral programmes in the disciplines of Pathology, Bacteriology and Virology. As a person, Dr Singh was simple, honest and hardworking with no time for personal comfort and family affairs. He was a great visionary. Some people called him, "Doyen of Veterinary Profession", while others considered him as "bhismpitamah" or "purushottam" and "preranashrot".

During his last visit to this IVRI on 10th January, 2005, scientists of twin Institutes at Izatnagar had the opportunity to listen and meet him. He is still remembered for his talk on philosophy of life interspersed with verses of the Holy Gita. Dr Singh left his world for his heavenly abode journey on 27th July 2005 in UK after a prolonged illness. His demise was great loss to the veterinary profession of this country as well as his family. His dream to establish Indian Council of Veterinary Research is still not fulfilled. It will be best homage to him if we can achieve this objective for betterment of veterinary profession. Dr C.M. Singh Endowment Trust was established with his directive and blessings in 1999 with objectives of advancement of veterinary science and welfare of livestock, farmers and veterinarians of this country..

To live in the hearts of those we love is never to die -Thomas Campbell

Dr C.M. Singh breathed last, 15 years ago on 27th July, 2005 at Sussex, UK. His memoirs still lives in heart of most of senior veterinarians of this country, who knew and worked with him. There is need that youngsters should know about his life, contributions and achievements for advancement of veterinary profession. During the year our new Government has established a separate and new Ministry of Animal Husbandry, Dairying and Fisheries. ICVR Society is under process of establishment for which Ministry has constituted a high level committee. ICVR was a dream of Dr Singh and he initiated this process two decades ago. His soul may be very happy to learn that that unfilled dream is soon becoming reality in near future. Dr C.M. Singh Endowment Trust, Bareilly (cmset.org) works with this mission and for welfare of veterinarians. Here is some homage and life and scientific contributions of late Dr C.M. Singh.

Dr C.M. Singh: God Father of Veterinary Profession- Prof. V. Ramakumar
“Dr C.M. Singh was more of Institution than an individual and like of him take birth in this world only once in a century. A dreamer and a man of action Dr Singh always talked of “optimism in hopelessness” which he adapted as a principle of his life. He was “God Father of Veterinary Profession”.
