Association of Kerala Veterinarians in North America (AKVNA) was born in July 2000 in Detroit, Michigan out of the thoughtfulness and dedication of eminent veterinarians of our alma mater Drs. Krishna Menon, Sreekumar Pillai, Mathew Varughese, Joseph Luka, George Daniel, and Thomas Devasia. The organization was conceived as a platform to bring together all veterinarians who graduated from the Indian veterinary curriculum and work/live in North America. The organization remained as an important communication platform among veterinarians throughout the years and acted as an essential channel of the network for members, contributed to the cause of Kerala veterinarians, and supported veterinary education at our alma mater. The organization was registered in 2002 in Michigan.
