The Assam Veterinary and Fishery University Bill, 2024, was passed by the Assam Assembly on the fourth day of its Autumn Session. It was introduced by Hon'ble Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Minister Sri Atul Bora, to establish a new university specializing in veterinary and fishery sciences. Later, the university was formed in February, 2024 by merging existing veterinary colleges and the College of Fishery Science in Assam that was earlier under the Assam Agriculture University, Jorhat. This initiative was part of the Government of Assam's efforts to create a specialized institution that would cater to the growing demand for skilled professionals in veterinary and fishery sciences
