The medal will also be awarded to those civilians who participated in actual battles or rendered direct assistance in battle operations." No photograph or full description is available of the Samar Seva Star 1965, and it is believed it has not yet been struck. The Star will be a five-pointed star of cupro-nickel. The ribbon will be divided equally: red, dark bluer light blue. Created at the same time as the Samar Seva Star 1965, and commemorating the same conflict, the Raksha Medal 1965 ’~ill be awarded to all service personnel who were borne on the effective strength of the Armed Forces on August 5, 1965, and had rendered service for 180 days or more on that date. Civilians will not be eligible for this award." The Raksha Medal will be circular and of cupro-nickel. The ribbon will be saffron, divided equally by three thin stripes of red, dark blue, and light blue. SAINYA SEVA MEDAL: The Sainya Seva (Services) Medal is awarded "in recogni- tion of hon-operational duties under conditions of hardship and severe climate." As was the case before, this medal is awarded with clasps~ 32 mm long~ denoting the area of service. Exceptions are made to the specific conditions of award sta- ted below if the recipient was either killed, wounded, or dis- abled by wounds during his service in the area concerned. Likewise, any soldier who receives a decoration for bravery while serving in one of these areas, is to be awarded the prop- er clasp without regard for his period of service in the area. The Sainya Seva Medal is of cupro-nickel and 35mm in diameter. The obverse shows an outline of the Nanda Devi Peak~ together with a clump of bamboo. The reverse shows an Indian fort on a mountain, representing the two extremes of the Indian Armed Forces’ services. Above the ~ort_~qon_tbe ~e~a~Si~h~u~e~d~ ~ead~~nbai~ ~i~"32~mms~ffro~n" ribbon, bearing two thin stripes, equally dividing the ribbon; the stripe to the wearer’s left is white and that to the right dark green, again representing the extremes of climate and terrain. The clasps to the Sainya Seva Medal are: I) "Jammu and Kashmir." Awarded to: a) "Persons who have completed an aggregate of one year after October 27, 1947, on the effective strength of a unit/formation located within the geographical limits of Jammu and Kashmir." For those who earned the corresponding clasp to the 38 General Service Medal 1947~ service prior to 1 January 1949 will not be counted. "Air Force air crew and personnel of air des- patch units who have carried out a minimum of ten sorties or 40 hours of flying on reconnals- sance or transport/tactical support role in Jammu and Kashmir state commencing from October 27~.1947 and thereafter." For those who received the corresponding clasp to the General Service Medal 1947, service prior to I January 1949 will not be counted. 2) "N.E.F.A." Awarded to: a) "Persons who have completed an aggregate of one year on the active strength of a unit/formatlon located within the geographical limits of NEFA between October 7, 1992, and November 15, 19~8, and were employed on road/airfield construction."

"Air Force personnel who have carried out a min- imum of ten sorties or 60 hours of flying on reconnaissance or transport/tactical support role in the areas to be specified from time to time by the Government." VIDESH SEVA MEDAL: The Videsh Seva (Overseas) Medal is awarded to personnel of the three services for service outside India. The problem of length of qualifying service has caused some difficulty~ the official regulation states: The qualifying period for the award of the Over- seas Medal will not exceed the period of assignment. If the assignment period is one year or more~ the qual- ifying period will be six months and if the assignment period is less than one year, the qualifying period will be three months. .

In an attempt to make the publication more useful and reader friendly, we not only decided to present the current contact details of the Fellows and Members but also to present them in an alphabetic order (surname first) and also to classify them into different categories. In addition, it was decided to commence a gradual transformation of the contents of the Directory by including a brief profile of the fellows and members, apart making some other changes. A start has been made in this edition by including the profiles of the members of the governing council and of the most recent fellows elected in 2008-2009. Future editions will ultimately cover all the fellows and the members. Limited resources and a self-imposed deadline did not make these jobs easy. The Email IDs and addresses of the fellows/members elected in the earlier decades were either not available in the earlier publications or had changed. Disciplines / specializations of a large number of fellows & members were also missing. These gaps have to be filled-in. Though every effort has been NATIONAL ACADEMY OF VETERINARY SCIENCES (INDIA) made to present the available data as accurately as possible, we have no doubt (Registered with the Registrar of Societies vide Regn.
