Agenda Item No. 1: Prevention, control and containment of Avian Influenza.

A. Review of the preparedness of States against Avian Influenza:

India remained free from Avian Influenza till mid-February 2006. Since then, the country has been experiencing outbreaks of the disease in different parts. So far, the disease has occurred in Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, West Bengal, Tripura, Assam and Sikkim. The last incidence of the infection was notified in West Bengal on 27^th May, 2009. All the outbreaks have been resolved.

It is necessary that all States remain prepared for tackling the outbreak of the disease. Various components of the preparedness are:

(i) Surveillance

The State Governments are required to formulate a State Surveillance Plan for Avian Influenza keeping in view the vulnerability mapping of different areas. These plans are expected to be forwarded to the GOI for finalization in consultation with the HSADL, Bhopal and the concerned RDDLs. However, it is noted that the surveillance plans have not been received from any of the States. All the State Govts. are requested to prepare surveillance plans and forward the same to this Department to enable preparation of the national surveillance plan.

All the States/ UTs are required to send a weekly report of the occurrence of any unusual mortality in poultry. Nil reports are also required to be furnished. Looking at the January-May, 2009 period during which a total of 22 reports should have been received, following is the position of the receipt of reports from the States/ UTs :

Reports being received regularly	Nil
Reports received > 11	Chhattisgarh, Punjab, Rajasthan (3)
Reports received occasionally	Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, Pondicherry (3)

Reports not being received

Andhra Pradesh, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Bihar, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Tripura, Uttaranchal, West Bengal, A&N Islands, Chandigarh, D & N Haveli, Daman & Diu, Delhi, Lakshadweep (29)

(ii) Training of Veterinary Workforce and Rapid Response Teams (RRTs):

Funds were released to the States/UTs in 2007-08 for training total veterinary workforce and RRTs under the World Bank assisted project on ‘Preparedness, Control and Containment of Avian Influenza’. On the basis of the reports received, the status of the availability of trained veterinary workforce and RRTs in different states is annexed (Annexure I). The position is also summarized below:

S.No.	Training Achievement	States
Veterinary workforce
1.	< 50%	Andhra Pradesh, Andaman & Nicobar, J & K, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Kerala, Lakshadweep, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim (11)
2.	50 – 75%	Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Maharastra, Orissa (5)
3.	> 75%	Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Delhi, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Manipur, Meghalaya, Puducherry, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Uttarakhand, West Bengal (19)

S.No.	Training Achievement	States
RRTs
1.	< 50%	Andaman & Nicobar, Arunachal Pradesh, Delhi, J & K, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Lakshadweep, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Orissa, Sikkim, Tripura, West Bengal (15)
2.	50 – 75%	Assam (1)
3.	> 75%	Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Chandigarh, Chhattisgarh, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu, Goa, Gujarat, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharastra, Meghalaya, Punjab, Puducherry, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand (19)

It is noted that Delhi, Haryana, Meghalaya, Punjab, Rajasthan, Tripura, Uttarakhand, Puducherry, Dadra & Nagar Haveli, Daman Diu and Chandigarh have trained their total veterinary workforce, followed by Gujarat (99%), Uttar Pradesh (98%) and Madhya Pradesh (97%). The overall status of trained veterinary workforce in the country stands at 78%.

The position of funds released to various States for purposes of training of veterinary workforce and the RRTs and the utilization reported by them is annexed (Annexure II). In this connection, the following observations are made:

The States were released funds separately for the training of veterinary workforce and for the training of RRTs. However, while intimating utilization of funds, the states intimated a consolidated position. It is necessary that utilization of funds is intimated separately for the two categories as World Bank would require separate information before reimbursing funds utilized for the purpose.

There is a mismatch between the utilization of funds and the physical progress in respect of some of the States.

(iii) Training of community as part of participatory disease intelligence:

The objective of such training is to develop disease intelligence network at village level to get day to day information on probable outbreaks of Avian Influenza. The guidelines for the training and funds for first phase of training were given to the State Governments in August 2008. It is, however, noted from the information received from the States that necessary training has not been started in the States/UTs other than Gujarat, Kerala and Puducherry. The position of funds utilized for the subject training may be seen in Annexure III.

(iv) Maintenance of strategic reserve for Avian Influenza control operation

All the States/UTs are expected to maintain strategic reserve of PPE kits, equipment and chemicals required for control and containment operations in the event of an outbreak of Avian Influenza. Despite repeated instructions issued in this regard, it has been observed that a number of States do not either maintain the strategic reserves or maintain them at much below the minimum required level. The States may intimate the level of reserves maintained by them.

B. Upgradation of State Disease Diagnostic Laboratories to BSL-II level.

The measures necessary to control outbreaks of Avian Influenza at its origin include early testing of samples in case of any unusual mortality. In this connection, it was decided to upgrade 23 State Disease Diagnostic Laboratories (SDDLs) in 21 selected States to Bio-Security Level-II (BSL-II) to facilitate testing of samples for Avian Influenza. In this connection, an amount of Rs.22 lakh per laboratory was released to the concerned states in 2007-08 as per following break-up

(i) Modification of the laboratory (BSL-2 facility) : Rs.8.00 lakhs

(ii) Laboratory Equipments : Rs.12.50 lakhs

(iii) Recurring expenditure on consumables, etc. : Rs.1.50 lakhs

The guidelines for upgradation, along with list of approved equipment, was also been communicated to all the States in June 2008. It was also requested that all the States should complete the upgradation by 30^th November, 2008. However, there has been inordinate delay in this regard. Present status of the upgradation is summarized below:

S.No.	Status	States
1.	Work completed. Facility likely to be functional soon.	Gujarat. (1)
2.	Work in progress. Upgraded facility likely to be functional by August 2009.	H.P., J&K, Rajasthan, Haryana, West Bengal. (5)
3.	Tenders invited. Work yet to commence.	Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh, Goa, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Uttaranchal, Meghalaya. (8)
4.	Necessary action yet to be initiated.	Manipur, Tripura, Orissa, Bihar, Jharkhand, Kerala & Tamil Nadu. (7)

C. Strategy for preparedness, control and containment of Avian Influenza

The strategy adopted so far for control of Avian Influenza is culling of birds in the affected areas within 3 kilometers / 5 kilometers of the foci of infection. As a measure to prevent spread of infection to the adjoining States of West Bengal, preventive culling was also undertaken within a 5 km belt of the border districts of Assam, Bihar and Jharkhand. Culling of birds is an extreme measure, which is resorted to during an outbreak of Avian Influenza and poses various problems, including reluctance of farmers to bring their birds for culling.

In the above backdrop and in view of the fact that the problem of Avian Influenza is likely to be with us for sometime, alternate strategies to tackle the disease on a long-term basis have been thought of and are discussed below.

Establishment of National Animal Disease Reporting System

(i). In order to enable prompt action to detect, control and contain Avian Influenza, it is necessary that information of unusual mortality in poultry birds reaches concerned agencies expeditiously. In this connection, it is proposed to introduce a computerized system of 7000 nodes for animal disease reporting, linking each Taluka/ Block, District and State Headquarters to a Central Disease Reporting and Monitoring Unit at the DADF in New Delhi. The disease diagnostic laboratories at the district, state and national level will also form part of the system. This computerized system, proposed to be called the ‘National Animal Disease Reporting System’ (in short NADRS), will involve an investment of Rs.104 crore. This will enable timely reporting of events related to Avian Influenza and other trans-boundary animal diseases for their effective management. The scheme is proposed to be implemented in a phased manner starting from third year of the 11^th Five Year Plan and continued till all the 6347 blocks & 615 districts of all the 35 States / UTs of the country are covered. The software development, provision of hardware, maintenance of hardware and software and training of the manpower up to the Block level will be the responsibility of the NIC. The expected benefits from the programme will start flowing from January 2010 when the basic application of NADRS is expected to become operational.

Fencing of border with Bangladesh with intensive monitoring and surveillance through check posts:

(ii). As is known, we have a long porous border with our neighbours, especially Bangladesh and, therefore, the movement of birds across the border is very easy. A study commissioned by the FAO has indicated that there is large scale commercial movement of poultry and poultry products across the border, into and from India, depending on the day-to-day gaps of demand and supply and the price arbitrage opportunities. As per information provided by the Ministry of Home Affairs, the Government of India has already decided to fence the entire India-Bangladesh Border (IBB), except for approximately 810 kms which is reported to be not feasible due to terrain conditions, existence of thickly populated villages right up to the zero line and cultural and social affinity amongst the villages on both sides of the IBB. Out of 3406 kms of the remaining length of IBB where erection of fencing is feasible and Government of India has accorded sanction, the fencing has been completed in 2572 kms. A total of 7 Integrated Check Posts (ICPs) are proposed to be deployed along the IBB in a phased manner. The project is likely to take three years after completion of land acquisition process. Fencing the entire border with Bangladesh is expected to be more effective in the long-term management of bird-flu. The work relating to fencing of the remaining areas needs to be expedited. The stretch of 810 kms where fencing is reported to be infeasible also needs to be looked at again for the purpose of being fenced so that illegal movement of birds or other livestock is checked to prevent ingress of disease from across the border. Further in those areas where border fencing is not found feasible, patrolling by BSF and other paramilitary forces needs to be strengthened to prevent movement of men and animals.

Creating a poultry-free zone in areas bordering Bangladesh:

(iii). In view of the endemic nature of the Avian Influenza in Bangladesh and absence of adequate measures being implemented in that country to control and contain the disease, it is necessary to check entry of poultry and poultry products from that country. However, the porous nature of the border and long-standing social and cultural links between the people on both sides makes the task difficult. Nevertheless, this needs to be attempted through suitable initiatives. A measure contemplated in this regard is to attempt poultry depopulation in an identified 5 Kms bordering area with Bangladesh. This measure has been proposed to Bangladesh on a number of occasions but did not evoke a positive response for creation of a similar poultry depopulated zone on that side of the border as well.

(iv). As per the proposal, people in the identified areas will be expected to dispose off their poultry or surrender the same to a Government agency at notified rates, which would be close to the market rate prevailing in that area. They will be encouraged to take up alternate animal husbandry schemes involving other animal species. It is realized that implementation of the measure may face resistance from the local population. Hence, it is proposed to be attempted on a pilot scale in one of the most vulnerable districts of West Bengal bordering Bangladesh. The areas identified in this regard are the eight (8) blocks in Malda district of West Bengal. It would also be necessary for the State Govt. to agree to the proposal. The poultry-free zone created through preventive culling will be maintained till improvement of Avian Influenza situation in Bangladesh. This will prevent spread of the infection through bird-to-bird contact and also enable strict enforcement of the ban on movement of poultry and poultry products from across the border. Depending on the success of the pilot initiative in achieving the desired objectives, its extension to a larger area subsequently will be planned. The details of likely financial implication for taking up the proposal in eight blocks of Malda district are given in Table 1 of the Annexure.

Upgrading backyard poultry to a more bio-secure model:

(v). The backyard poultry is extremely vulnerable to Avian Influenza infection as no bio safety measures are adopted for rearing. It is not feasible to shut down backyard poultry altogether as it provides means of subsidiary income to the concerned farmers and are a sort of insurance providing regular income to the farmers in case of crop failure, besides providing nutritional security for the rural poor. Two possible solutions could be considered in order to reduce the vulnerability of the backyard poultry to the threat of bird-flu. The objective is to create suitable models, which by being more productive, remunerative and bio-secure persuade a change in the poultry rearing practices of the local population. It is neither feasible nor practical to cover the entire poultry rearing population in the target areas. However, if the models succeed, these would be progressively extended to larger number of beneficiaries in the State of West Bengal and can also be implemented in other border States.

(a) Conversion of backyard poultry to ‘integrator’ model: Under the proposed model, the integrator company provides all the logistic support including the chicks, the feed, the technical support etc. and the local farmers form a self-help group which rears the poultry and get paid for this. A shed is to be constructed for this purpose, which may house about 5000 birds. The poultry owners in this model become rearers and their economic returns are much better than that in a backyard poultry system. Since bio-security measures are adopted in this model by the integrator, as in a small-scale commercial farm, the danger of bird flu and also the consequent human exposure is reduced to a considerable extent. The cost component for the Government, which would involve only construction of the poultry sheds for 5 lakh families, would be approximately Rs.50 crores spread over three years to convert 50 lakh birds in the backyard poultry production to the integrator model in the administrative blocks of the districts adjacent to Bangladesh. The break-up is given in Table 2 in the Annexure.

(b) Low-cost bio-security for backyard poultry: The other option for introducing bio-security measures in the backyard poultry production system is to house these poultry indoor and not to let these out for scavenging. This will involve construction of small isolated sheds for 10-12 chickens in each house-hold, desirous of rearing backyard poultry, construction of a low-cost bamboo stick boundary wall around the house and also incentives in the form of feed for the backyard poultry so as to restrain these birds from scavenging. The cost component has been worked out at Rs.4420 per family maintaining approximately ten birds in a cycle of about 18 months. In the first instance, it is proposed to implement the initiative on a pilot scale involving 20,000 households at a total cost of Rs. 8.84 Crores. The cost break-up is given in Table 3 in the Annexure.

The above models will, however, not be suitable for duck rearing.

Creation of nucleous AI cells in vulnerable states

(vi). The Department of Animal Husbandry, Dairying & Fisheries had issued a revised and updated ‘Action Plan’ for preparedness, control and containment of Avian Influenza to all the states in November 2006. However, various episodes of bird flu have found the States gravely wanting in their surveillance, alertness to unusual sickness and mortality and in holding adequate stock of strategic material and equipment. These situations have underlined the fact that the Government of India would continually need to play a critical role in tackling the situation of Avian Influenza in different parts of the country.

(vii). On the basis of the experience gained in tackling the various episodes of bird flu, it is felt that there is a strong need to create a standing mechanism, which should engage itself on an on-going basis to first ensure that all efforts are made to prevent its occurrence, and in case it occurs, to respond to it like a well-oiled machine. For the purpose, there is a need to create dedicated Avian Influenza cells involving deployment of veterinary officers at least in the states, which are considered to be highly vulnerable to the disease. These cells would be manned by officers/ staff of DADF and fully funded by the Government of India and, inter alia, perform following functions:

(i) Monitoring of defined parameters associated with potential for occurrence of Avian Influenza.

(ii) Coordinating with the concerned states to ensure their preparedness against the disease and alerting the DADF of any issue that may adversely impact on efforts to prevent, control and contain Avian Influenza. The unit will also maintain close liaison with state / district / block level veterinary officers in order to ensure regular collection of samples and prompt reporting of any unusual mortality.

(iii) Maintaining a reserve stock of PPE kits / disinfectants / chemicals etc.

(iv) Coordinating the conduct of information, education and communication campaign about Avian Influenza.

Each such unit may be headed by an officer at the level of Assistant Commissioner and supported by an Assistant/Store Keeper, Data Entry Operator / Steno and one Group D staff.

(viii) However, it is neither feasible nor necessary to create such cells in all the states. On the basis of available logistics of poultry production, proximity to endemic or infected regions, marketing and movement of poultry and vulnerability mapping etc., few of the states can rationally be identified as most prone to Avian Influenza-related disasters. Accordingly, the AI units are proposed to be established in the following States:

(i) West Bengal; to also look after Bihar, Jharkhand and Orissa.

(ii) Tripura; to also cover Manipur and Mizoram.

(iii) Assam; to also provide cover to Meghalaya, Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland.

(iv) Andhra Pradesh; to also cover Tamilnadu and Karnataka.

(v) Maharashtra; will also look after Gujarat and Madhya Pradesh.

(vi) Haryana; to also cover Punjab, Rajasthan, U.P. and J&K.

The details of expenditure on these cells are given in Table 4 in the Annexure.

Rapid test and rapid containment of Avian Influenza:

(ix). Presently, all morbid samples are tested for Avian Influenza only at the High Security Animal Disease Laboratory (HSADL), Bhopal. Samples collected from far flung areas, including eastern and north-eastern parts of the country, take long time to reach the said laboratory, resulting in delayed diagnosis and initiation of control and containment operations. In order to facilitate quick diagnosis at the regional level, the process of setting up of four pre-fabricated BSL-III laboratories, two constructed BSL-III laboratories and one BSL-IV laboratory is in progress. However, there is a need for quick diagnosis of the disease at the site of the unusual mortality so as to enable initiation of early control operations. One of the options in this regard is to test morbid samples on the spot of the unusual mortality in poultry by rapid antigen detection kits. International agencies such as FAO have also recommended this test as a rapid lost-cost pen-side test for Avian Influenza. As the specificity of the prevailing kits is high, chance of false positivity are low. Accordingly, it is proposed to procure 20,000 rapid test kits initially, involving an investment of Rs.30 lakh only for use in West Bengal and the vulnerable States in the North Easter region. These kits will be maintained at the respective Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories and would be dispatched to the place of unusual bird mortality immediately on receipt of information.

(x). Recourse to rapid diagnosis of Avian Influenza presents an opportunity to reduce the culling zone from 3 kms generally followed in the event of an outbreak. It is proposed to set up a technical group to examine and recommend the size of the culling zone if a rapid test is employed in the field. A reduced zone will require lesser number of birds to be culled and reduce the time for completion of operations. This would also be more acceptable to the poultry rearing population in the affected areas. However, no change is proposed to the size of the surveillance zone, which is up to 10 kilometers from the focus of infection.

Intensive field surveillance by external teams:

(xi). Routine surveillance for Avian Influenza is being undertaken in the country since 2005 by collecting samples, both morbid and serum. The serum samples are tested at the Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories and all the morbid materials are sent to the HSADL, Bhopal. Till date, nearly five lakh samples have been tested. None of them has been found positive for Avian Influenza (H5N1). Even in the course of the post operation surveillance in the outbreak areas, all samples of chicken have tested negative, except for a few duck samples which tested sero-positive. However, the tests conducted did not detect any virus in any of the samples. Such a situation calls for investigation by external teams through intensive surveillance in West Bengal and the States in the North Eastern Region. In this regard, it is proposed to constitute teams of experts from the HSADL, Bhopal, NIV, Pune, Regional Disease Diagnostic Laboratories (RDDLs), State Governments and Scientists from the ICAR and universities to visit randomly selected poultry farms and villages for evaluation of the ground situation, both through active and passive surveillance. The teams will pick cloacal, tracheal and serum samples from 1000 fowls and 1000 ducks for testing at the HSADL, Bhopal. The details of estimated expenditure that would be incurred in this regard have been provided in Table 5 of the Annexure.

Epidemiological study of Avian Influenza outbreaks in West Bengal, Tripura, Assam and Sikkim:

(xii). It has so far not been possible to arrive at a definitive conclusion as regards the source of occurrence of the Avian Influenza outbreaks in the country. In the absence of a systematic study in this regard, this has remained in the realm of conjectures only. Discussions held in this regard with various agencies have finally led to the FAO making an epidemiologist available for leading teams of designated officials from the concerned States, RDDLs and the HSADL, Bhopal. The proposed study, which has commenced in June 2009, will cover both the laboratory epidemiology and field epidemiology. As part of the laboratory epidemiology study, it is proposed to test about one lakh samples in addition to the samples already being tested during routine surveillance, outbreaks and post operation surveillance. The virus already isolated from the outbreaks will be taken up for further molecular studies and nucleotide sequencing.

Disinfection of wet poultry markets in West Bengal and North Eastern States, including Sikkim:

(xiii). It has been observed that state of hygiene in the poultry markets in most of the States is deplorable. No efforts are made to properly dispose of the waste material and to periodically disinfect the premises. The trading of poultry in the commercial sector is largely of ‘Broilers’ and in wet markets. In order to reduce the risk of the spread of infection, it is proposed to initiate disinfection of the areas / premises etc. of wet markets in West Bengal and other North Eastern States, including Sikkim at the end of the day. In the absence of any recorded figures of the number of such wet markets in these States, an assessment has been made in consultation with the State Directors of Animal Husbandry, which puts their number at 3,900. In order to implement the measure, it is proposed to give one sprayer and disinfectants to each such market/shop where the poultry birds are slaughtered and sold. The State-wise details of the number of wet markets and the expenditure likely to be incurred on the proposed measure over a period of three years may be seen in Table 6 of the Annexure. Implementing a similar measure in weekly bazaars or ‘haats’ where live poultry birds reared in backyards are mainly traded under open sky, though desirable, is not feasible as the birds are carried mostly in bags, baskets or tied to the bicycles.

Creation of awareness in community

(xiv). An information, education and communication (IEC) campaign for behavioural change of the local population is vital for preparing and responding to the potential of avian influenza outbreak. An effective IEC campaign would require development of clear, correct, consistent and creative messages for poultry farmers in particular and public in general. For effective dissemination of information, a massive media campaign would need to be mounted through electronic media both on national and regional channels of radio and television, print media through daily, weekly, fortnightly newspapers /magazines, printing of posters and leaflets through field publicity units of Directorate of Field Publicity, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, by organizing seminars and workshops at state level for direct contact with the people etc. The Panchayati Raj institutions would need to be involved in this campaign and they may also be provided with necessary funding for the purpose. The IEC campaign would be undertaken mainly in and adjoining areas having border with neighbouring countries, especially Bangladesh. Attempts would be made to harmonize the IEC campaign in the neighbouring countries in trans-border areas and as far as possible in languages spoken on either side of the border. The approximate annual expenditure on IEC campaign would be Rs. 7.50 crores, the break up of which is provided in Table 7 in the Annexure.

Preventive vaccination in the border region:

(xv). Vaccination in the border region in a zone of about 10 KM can be considered as a possible preventive measure. The preventive vaccination is more humane compared to culling and the farmers may be quite willing to undertake vaccination of their birds. However, the vaccination also poses certain problems, which have to be borne in mind. These are:

(a) The currently available vaccine technology is suitable for protection of chickens. There is no effective vaccine for ducks. Ducks are likely to continue to spread infection.

(b) While the birds, which are vaccinated, will not die due to infection from bird-flu, but they can remain carriers of the virus on exposure and will be in a position to spread the infection to other susceptible unvaccinated birds, which they may come in contact with.

(c) The vaccinated birds being subsequently exposed to infection with bird-flu virus, will not show any symptoms of bird flu but may shed infectious virus in low dose in its excreta. People in close contact with these carrier birds will be exposed to low level of infection for a long time without realizing the dangers. This can adversely affect human health and also there is a possibility that such a long and low exposure may induce the bird-flu virus to mutate to a form more conducive for human transmission.

(d) Backyard poultry will require two shots of vaccines three weeks apart and an additional shot after one year. Backyard poultry regenerates fast and new population emerges round the year. Therefore vaccination will not be a one-time measure and will have to be repeated at periodic intervals. Further the new addition to the poultry flock will also need to be vaccinated round the year.

(e) Huge logistic arrangements will need to be made for carrying out preventive vaccination in terms of supply of vaccine, maintaining cold chain, transport of vaccine and vaccinators, arranging manpower for vaccination, awareness campaign for vaccination and keeping record of vaccinated birds and their identification for continuous monitoring. The State Animal Husbandry Directors have suggested that the Union Government itself takes up the job of vaccination as it is going to be difficult for them to sustain this activity for any length of time.

(f) A vaccination ring of 5-10 KM will take care against spread of infection through bird-to-bird contact across the border region but not if infected birds are smuggled straight into markets outside the ring vaccination zone.

(g) Vaccination, if resorted to, should have an exit strategy. Long-term vaccination strategy has not worked in elimination of bird-flu in endemic countries e.g., Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt and China where human cases of Avian Influenza continue to appear. An exit-strategy would imply that vaccination be carried out randomly in short pulses in the defined zone over a pre-defined time-frame and then withdraw.

(h) Adopting a vaccination strategy may delay our declaration of freedom from infection and the section of the industry involved in export of poultry products may also be affected.

(xvi). Despite various problems posed by vaccination, it appears to be the only efficacious preventive remedy as a short-term measure to reduce the impact of the disease. Therefore, it is proposed to carry out vaccination in poultry against HPAI in border areas of West Bengal as an experimental study for about 18 months to assess its impact in reduction of threat from incursion of infection from across the border. It is estimated that about Rs.30.00 Cr., as per details in Table 8 in the Annexure, will be required for carrying out vaccination in chickens in a pulse mode for 18 months in the bordering blocks of the states of West Bengal, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Assam and Tripura, which share a common border with Bangladesh.

Financial Implication:

19. It is estimated, as would be seen from the summary position given below, that implementation of the aforementioned initiatives (except for the fencing of border) carries a financial implication of Rs. 214.87 crores. In addition, there will be a recurring expenditure of Rs.1.20 crore per annum.

Agenda Point No. 2 : Review of the Animal Disease Situation and Control.

The Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009

Recently an Act, namely, ‘The Prevention and Control of Infectious and Contagious Diseases in Animals Act, 2009’ has been enacted with the following objectives:

· to provide for the prevention, control and eradication of infectious and contagious diseases affecting animals;

· prevention of outbreak or spreading of such disease from one State to another; and

· To meet international obligations of India for facilitating import and export of animals and animal products.

2. Salient features of the Act are:

· It will be obligatory for the owner of the livestock, which is suffering from or is suspected to be suffering from any disease to report the matter to the Village Officer or the Veterinary Officer.

· The Village Officer as designated by State Government will also have the responsibility of visiting the areas falling in his jurisdiction for detecting and reporting any outbreak of the disease.

· The State Govt. may declare certain areas as ‘controlled area’ for the purpose of preventing, controlling or eradicating any scheduled disease.

· The State Govt. may regulate the movement of any species of animals from one area to another area.

To facilitate proper enforcement, the Act provides for mandatory provisions to clean and disinfect vessels or vehicles carrying animals, power of entry and inspection by the concerned authorities, etc. Detailed penal provisions have also been incorporated to ensure effective and proper enforcement of various provisions contained in the Act.

3. The Act will:

· strengthen the power of the State Governments to effectively tackle, control and eradicate the animal diseases;

· bring in greater uniformity and coordination in this regard; and

· Ensure the prevention of spread of infectious and contagious diseases in the country.

4. As per clause 1(2) of the Act, it shall come into force on the date as notified by the Central Government and different dates may be appointed for different States or for different areas therein as well as for different provisions of this Act. It is proposed to notify 1^st August, 2009 for commencement of the Act in all the States. A communication in this regard has been sent to all the States.

Implementation of the FMD Control Programme and its proposed expansion.

The FMD Control Programme is being implemented in 54 identified districts of the country in eight states (Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Haryana, Kerala, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu and Uttar Pradesh) and five UTs (Delhi, Andaman & Nicobar Islands, Lakshadweep, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and Daman & Diu). On the basis of the implementation of the programme, the following observations are made:

Gujarat - There are four districts covered under FMD-CP. Presently, 9^th round has been completed in the State. Vaccination is being carried out as per schedule. However, guidelines regarding sera collection are not being followed properly. In order to monitor the immune response, pre and post vaccination sera samples from 10 cattle and 10 buffaloes in each selected village are required to be collected. Till 6^th phase, samples were not collected as prescribed. While this has been corrected after repeated instructions, the ratio of sample collection between cattle & buffalo is not being maintained. For example, in Patan District only 9 samples have been collected from cattle and 191 samples from buffalo. It has also been noted that outcome of investigations into FMD outbreaks and detailed epidemiological information are not being communicated. For example, there was a report of FMD outbreak in Banaskantha District in February, 2009, which has also been reflected by the State in the monthly Animal Disease Bulletin Report. It is necessary that that disease outbreaks are thoroughly investigated and the results intimated to the GOI.

Maharashtra - There are five districts of the State covered under the FMD – CP. Presently, 9^th round of vaccination has been completed. The testing of sera samples till 5^th round reveals a very poor immune response (about 30%) after 5^th round of vaccination. This indicates either very poor coverage of vaccination or improper collection of samples. Suitable instructions need to be given to the field officers for proper monitoring of vaccination and collection of sera samples. Identification of animals for sera collection should be scrupulously followed. Last year, there have been reports of the FMD outbreak in Ahemadnagar and Pune. Occurrence of such outbreaks after a gap of 2-3 years should be thoroughly investigated and epidemiological information sent to the GOI.

Haryana - There are 8 districts of the State covered under the FMD CP. Presently, 8th round has been completed. The vaccination is being carried out as per schedule. The testing of samples reveals overall protective immune response in animals. The State is not sending the weekly reports and completion reports as per prescribed format, which hinders proper monitoring.

Uttar Pradesh - There are 16 districts of the State covered under the FMD CP. Presently, 8^th round of vaccination is continuing in the State. Implementation of the programme in the State leaves much to be desired. The vaccination is not completed within 21 days as per guidelines. The State is not even able to complete it in 45 days. Delay in completion of one round has a cascading effect on subsequent rounds. Sera samples are not collected as per guidelines. For example, in 6^th round only 2846 sera samples were collected as against the required number of 3200. Details of sera samples collected during the 7^th round have still not been reported in spite of repeated communications to the State. It emerged in the review meeting of FMD Control Programme organized by the PD FMD that the quality of samples received from UP is very poor. A meeting of all concerned officers was held in Lucknow in October 2007 when it was assured by the Director (AH) to ensure compliance with the guidelines regarding sample collection. However, there is no improvement in the situation. Few samples in respect of 7^th round tested by PD FMD also reveal poor antibody response in post vaccine samples. It is reiterated that the State should monitor sample collection and dispatch to the laboratory maintaining proper cold chain. Recently, an officer from the Department visiting Ghaziabad and Bulandshehar Districts was informed that the cold storage facility developed by the Department there is not working and therefore, vaccine was kept at hired facilities. It is necessary to look into the matter and facilities for cold chain should be properly maintained. It is also noted that UP has not been sending the reports in the prescribed format, which hinders proper monitoring.

Punjab - There are 8 districts covered under the FMD CP and 8^th round is under implementation in the State. The pace of vaccination has been very slow from the 5^th phase onwards; 6^th round was prolonged to almost four and half months. Sero-monitoring results of 6^th phase showed that either samples have not been collected properly or vaccination coverage is poor. The same needs to be monitored carefully. The vaccination reports should be sent in prescribed format. The demand for vaccine should also be sent in prescribed format.

Tamil Nadu - There is only one district covered in FMD CP and 8^th round has been completed. Funds released to the State Government for logistical purposes are not being utilized. For example, an amount of Rs. 5 lakh was released during 2008-09. However, the same have not been utilized by the State. The report containing the demand of vaccine should be sent in prescribed format and in time.

Andhra Pradesh - There are four districts covered under the FMD CP and 8^th round has been completed. The vaccination is carried out as per schedule. There is slight delay in the time taken to complete vaccination in few districts of the State e.g. Anantpur.

NCT of Delhi – It is considered as one district where 8^th round has been completed. The vaccination is carried out as per schedule. Samples are, however, not collected as required. The State should collected 200 samples each for pre and post vaccination; only 50% samples are collected. Overall immune response in the vaccinated animals is very good. It has been informed by the Hissar lab that 7^th & 8^th round samples have not been sent to the lab for testing. The same needs to be sent immediately. An amount of Rs. 2 lakhs released in 2008-09 remains unutilized.

Kerala - There are three districts covered under the FMD CP and 8th round has been completed. The six-monthly vaccination schedule is being followed from 6^th round onwards. Earlier, it was carried out annually along with ADCP programme of NDDB in other districts. Overall coverage of vaccination ranges between 65-80%. There is a need to increase the coverage of animals. As per the report of PD FMD, 237 outbreaks were reported during 2007-08 in the state. A number of them have been reported from the FMD CP districts. Even in 2008-09, FMD outbreaks have been reported from these districts. These should be thoroughly investigated and outcome communicated to the GOI. The overall immune response seen from the samples tested so far reveals immune response of about 50-60%, which is below the protective level. The reports from the State are not being received in the prescribed format.

Lakshadweep (UT) - One district is covered under the FMD CP and 8^th round has been completed. Vaccine demand should be sent in prescribed format. The samples are being collected to the extent of 50% only. The same should be collected as per the guidelines.

Andaman & Nicobar Island - There is only one district covered under the FMD CP and 8^th round has been completed. The vaccination is being carried out as per schedule. Reports should be sent in prescribed format.

Proposed expansion

It is proposed to add 124 districts in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Pondicherry, Goa, Daman & Diu, Andaman & Nicobar Island, Lakshadweep & Chandigarh in a phased manner to the 54 districts already covered under the programme. The States may indicate their preparedness for carrying out the six monthly vaccination and existence of adequate cold chain facilities in the concerned districts.

Occurrence of Equine Influenza in the country.

In October, 2008, The Army intimated occurrence of Equine Influenza in the animals of its Northern Command. Further inquiries revealed that the disease was reported in local horses/ponies in Katra region of J&K in June 2008. The occurrence of the EI in Delhi around the same time had also gone unreported. The last reported outbreak of EI was in the year 1987-88. After deliberations of experts, an advisory along with guidelines for control and containment of Equine Influenza was issued to the States on 31.10.2008.

Suspected incidence of the disease in Maharashtra during the month of September-October, 2008 was also gathered from newspaper reports, which subsequent inquiries confirmed to be true. The State had not, however, volunteered the information on its own. Thereafter, Rajasthan, West Bengal, Karnataka, Himachal Pradesh, Gujarat experienced the outbreak of Equine Influenza. Rajasthan reported occurrence of the disease for the second time in four districts (Jaipur, Jalore, Jodhpur and Pali) in March 2009. The outbreak has also been confirmed on 11.5.2009 in Rudraprayag District of Uttranachal. It was observed that guidelines issued by the Department in October 2008 were not available with the state.

The States have already been requested to carry out physical surveillance to detect prevalence of the disease. Any occurrence should be reported without any delay. The outbreaks are required to be resolved so that necessary information is sent to the OIE .

BSE Surveillance as per OIE code

In the context of Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), the countries are categorized as those with (i) Negligible BSE risk, (ii) Controlled risk & (iii) Undetermined BSE risk. Presently, India has been placed in the ‘Undetermined BSE Risk’ category. The Department had submitted a dossier to the OIE in July, 2007 for attaining ‘Negligible Risk Status’. However, the data provided in the dossier fell woefully short of the minimum 1,50,000 surveillance points required to qualify for the ‘Negligible Risk Status’.

2. The Department has again initiated the process of preparing a dossier for submission to the OIE for attaining the ‘Negligible BSE Risk’ Status. A review conducted in this regard shows that while some of the states have collected the assigned number of samples and dispatched them to respective RDDLs, others like Jharkhand, Tripura, Mizoram, Nagaland, Meghalaya, Delhi, Gujarat, Goa, Himachal Pradesh, J & K, Uttar Pradesh, Lakshadweep, Dadra & Nagar Haveli have not been able to meet their targets. It is a matter of concern that Uttar Pradesh, which was given a target 40 samples, has not collected any sample, stating that the State did not have any clinically suspect cases, which cannot be the case. In this connection, it is mentioned that samples collected under BSE surveillance should represent the distribution of cattle population throughout the country. Therefore, non collection of samples by any state, particularly a large state like UP, may represent a serious shortfall in surveillance for the disease.

3 It is also necessary that the states should have record of inspection of feed manufactures in their jurrisdiction. The details of feed manufacturers/ feed mills processing ruminant origin and non-ruminant origin material for manufacturing of feed, date of inspections/ visit, any observations/ findings will be required to fulfill the requirement of dossier. The States are also requested to provide information regarding any standard procedure laid down or adopted for disposal of fallen animals.

Implementation of `ASCAD’

Assistance is provided to States/Union Territories for control of economically important diseases of livestock and poultry by way of immunization, strengthening of existing State Veterinary Biological Production Units, strengthening of existing State Disease Diagnostic Laboratories, holding workshops/seminars and in-service training to Veterinarians and Para-veterinarians. The programme is being implemented on 75:25 sharing basis between the centre and the states; however, 100% assistance is provided for training and seminar/workshops. The following observations are made on the implementation of the scheme:

The scheme envisages approval of ‘Action Plan’ prepared by the States/UTs as per guidelines for carrying out various activities. The said Action Plan for a financial year is required to be submitted by 31st March of the previous financial year. However, despite repeated requests, Action Plan is not being received in time from some of the states. For example, the Action Plan for 2009-10 from Assam, West Bengal, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, NCT Delhi, Union Territory of Dadra and Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu are yet to be received.

In spite of the fact that the scheme provides for cent percent Central assistance for training of Veterinarians and Para-veterinarians and holding of workshops/seminars, some of the States such as Chattisgarh, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Arunachal Pradesh have not been implementing the component. Some other states like Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Tamilnadu and Uttar Pradesh failed to achieve the planned target.

The guidelines of the scheme envisage control/eradication of one identifiable disease in the state. The disease to be controlled / eradicated is also identified by the concerned state. It is, however, observed that vaccination programme taken up by the State does not cover the entire susceptible population. As a result, the identified disease is not being controlled or eradicated. Illustrative information in this regard is annexed. Efforts need to be made in a focused manner to cover the susceptible population for the identified disease so as to achieve the desired objective.

Even though provision of funds is being made for the upgradation of Disease Investigation Labs, some states like Madhya Pradesh, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Tripura, Uttarakhand and West Bengal have not so far completed the upgradation of their labs.

The scheme provides for funds for animal disease surveillance, monitoring and forecasting as per which the States are required to collect disease incidence information and publish the same in the form of a Monthly Animal Disease Surveillance Bulletin. However, states like Assam, Bihar, Haryana, Kerala and Madhya Pradesh have not been sending the said bulletin since January, 2009.

Agenda Point NO. 3 : Proposed new scheme

National Control Programme on Peste Des Petits Ruminants.

It is proposing to implement a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme, namely, ‘National Control Programme on Peste Des Petits Ruminants (PPR)’ in a phased manner during last three years of 11^th Plan period at an estimated cost of Rs. 61.19 crores(approx) . The programme is proposed to be taken up in three phases. The States of Gujarat, MP, Chhatisgarh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, HP, J&K, Delhi and Chandigarh will constitute Phase I. As per provisional figures of Livestock Census 2007, the total sheep & goat population in these States/ UTs is about 54.8 million. During 2009-10, it is proposed to vaccinate about 54 million sheep & goat simultaneously in all the aforementioned States. During 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 follower animals (approximately 30%) will be covered. A provision for strengthening NPRE ELISA laboratories and six PPR vaccine production units through grants-in-aid to the concerned States has also been made.

Establishment and Strengthening Veterinary Hospitals and Dispensaries.

It is proposed to initiate a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme for the establishment and strengthening of veterinary hospitals & dispensaries during last three years of the 11th Plan at an outlay of Rs.144.53 crores with cent percent Central assistance. The scheme is yet to receive requisite approvals. The scheme envisages providing assistance for establishment of 80 new hospitals and 200 new dispensaries. Strengthening of 550 hospitals and 900 dispensaries is also envisaged during remaining period of 11th Plan.

2. It is proposed to provide Central assistance of Rs.14.90 lakh and Rs.11.60 lakh for establishment of each new veterinary hospitals & dispensaries (including equipments) respectively. Similarly, for strengthening of each existing veterinary hospital & dispensary, Central assistance to the tune of Rs.10.00 lakh and Rs.6.00 respectively is envisaged.

National Animal Disease Reporting System.

The Department proposes to initiate a new Centrally Sponsored Scheme titled ‘National Animal Disease Reporting System, in short NADRS, in the remaining three years of the 11^th Five Year Plan involving an investment of Rs. 104.05 crores. The scheme will be implemented with cent percent Central assistance.

The need for the scheme has arisen from the fact that presently the disease reporting is neither timely nor complete. The compilation of information at national level relies on postal means of communication, which takes considerable time. On occasions, such communications are also lost in transit. Hence, the compiled information does not represent true picture of the disease situation in the country at any give point of time.

The proposed schemes envisages introducing computerized system of animal disease reporting, linking each taluka, block, district and State headquarters to a Central Disease Reporting and Monitoring Unit at this Department in New Delhi. The proposed reporting system will enable the block, district and state animal health officers to report the disease information and reports via internet. The system will be so designed as to assure secure data transfer and confidentiality of information. At the apex level, NADRS, will compile and generate animal disease information for the country as a whole. The users will have access to the information as per permissions in consonance with their role and responsibilities envisaged under the system. The computerized system will enable fuller and timely reporting of the animal disease situation in the country, enabling its effective management.

The Department is taking further action to secure necessary approvals in order to implement the scheme from the current financial year.

Agenda Point No. 4 : Implementation of Special Package for Suicide-prone Districts.

The Govt. of India notified in August 2006 ‘Special Package for Livestock and Fisheries Sectors for 31 Suicide-prone Districts’ in the States of Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Karnataka and Kerala involving an investment of Rs.698 crores comprising of a budgetary support of Rs.510.79 crore and credit component of Rs.187.21 crore, to be implemented over a period of three years from 2006-07. The period for implementation of the non-credit component of the Package has been extended up to 30.09.2011.

2. On the basis of operational experience, the beneficiary States proposed certain modifications to the Special Package, which were approved and notified in August 2007.

3. The concerned States requested for further modifications to the Special Package to meet local needs & circumstances. These were considered and approved by an Empowered Committee in October 2008. In another meeting of the Empowered Committee held in December 2008, sheep farming was included as component in addition to poultry, piggery and goatery.

4. The Govt. of India also approved in August 2008 and December 2008 Rehabilitation Packages for ‘Development of Kuttanad Wetland Eco-system’ and ‘Mitigation of Agrarian Distress in Idukki District’ in the State of Kerala as part of the Rehabilitation Package for the farmers in suicide prone districts of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra. The total outlay for the Kuttanad Package is of Rs. 9.50 crore and for that of Idukki is Rs. 91.15 crore.

6. The Government of Kerala submitted to this Department 17 proposals under the Kuttanad package and nine proposals under the Idukki package for release of financial assistance. These proposals were examined and found not to be in conformity with the ongoing schemes of the Department. In order to consider these proposals, a meeting of the Empowered Committee was held on 22.05.2009. No representative from the State, though invited, attended the meeting. The Empowered Committee decided that the State Government should indicate in respect of each proposal where it deviated from the existing scheme of the Department so that the same may be considered for approval.

6. A sum of Rs.355.10 crore (69.52% of the outlay) has been drawn by the beneficiary States of the Special Package till date, including Rs.24 lakh released during the current financial year 2009-10. Out of this, Rs.236.77 crore has been utilized as per the Monthly Progress Report (MPR) submitted by the States. Utilization Certificates to the extent of Rs.174.22 crore only have been received till date. The present position of physical and financial progress of the scheme may be seen in Annexure-II.

7. Andhra Pradesh has drawn Rs.196.65 crore against the total provision of Rs.248.96 crore till 2008-09, out of which Rs.143.02 crore has been utilized (72.7%). The State has inducted 36,502 milch animals against the target of 48,000, which is 76.04% of the target. In case of calf rearing, 7,389 calves have been enrolled against the target of 24,000, which is 30.8% of the target. Though targets for the establishment of milk chilling units and feed mixing plants have been achieved, there is shortfall in achievement in the remaining components.

8. Maharashtra has shown more than cent percent achievement in the case of induction of milch animals and calf rearing. This aspect had earlier been discussed in a meeting taken by the Secretary (ADF) on 11.12.2008 when the State was advised not to club the physical achievements of parallel scheme with the Special Package. Necessary correction has apparently not been made. The State has drawn the total sum of Rs.53.92 crore provided till 2008-09. Out of this, an amount of Rs.50.95 crore has been utilized, which works out to 94.5% of the funds drawn.

Action Plan for the New Scheme

“Integrated Development of Small Ruminants and Rabbits

Administrative approval for the scheme has been issued to all States/UTs and NABARD.

Proposals awaited from the State Govt.

The State Govts. are Meghalaya, Jharkhand, Bihar, Chattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh, may be requested to participate in the Centrally Sponsored Scheme Conservation of Threatened Livestock Breeds during 2010-11.

A Statement of year-wise Unspent Balances in respect of CSS Conservation of Threatened Breeds of Small Ruminants, Yak, Pack Animals, & Mithun is enclosed at Annesure V.

Agenda Point No. : 11 – Action Plan (Fodder)

NABCONS was engaged to prepare a Concept Paper and suggest modifications/additions of some more components into the ongoing Centrally Sponsored Feed & Fodder Development Scheme to broaden its scope. On the basis of report, a scheme/proposal has been drafted comprising of components viz establishment of Chaff Cutters (hand and power driven), Silage Making Units, By Pass Protein Plants and Training in Azolla Cultivation. ICAR has suggested to include one more component on establishment of Area specific mineral mixture manufacturing plants. States may like to give further inputs/suggestions for the improvement of scheme/proposal.

The State-wise position of unspent balances, both for the releases done during 10^th and 11^th Five Year Plan is given at Annexure-IV. The unspent balance for the States namely Andhra Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Jharkhand, J&K, Karnataka, M.P. Meghalaya, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Tripura and West Bengal has become over-due. States need to submit the UCs along with physical progress to facilitate further releases.

Proposals awaited from the State Govts for 2009-10:

For the ongoing Feed & Fodder Development Scheme, administrative approval has been issued for 2009-10 on 18.5.2009. On the advise of Internal Finance, certain new parameters have been added in the proforma for seeking information from states on grassland development proposals. The States which have already submitted the proposals, may submit the requisite information separately for the consideration of further releases of funds during 2009-10. Most of the States are asking funds for only two components i.e. grassland development and fodder seed production & distribution. But a good number of viable proposals are yet to be seen from the States for Establishment of Fodder Block Making unit. Under the scheme so far only three States (Uttaranchal, Haryana & A.P.) have been allocated funds for this component.

Other points

Views of the States on on-going Fodder Seed Minikits Testing Programme:

For 2009-10 Kharif, order was issued on 21^st April 2009 by the Department and seed supplying agencies have been directed to dispatch Minikits quickly to the concerned States. States need to submit the district-wise and village-wise list of farmers to whom Minikits were distributed during 2008-09 and also for Kharif 2009-10. State Govt.s should ensure that Minikits reach the farmers timely so that it is properly utilized. Any suggestion for improvement in implementing of the scheme by the States would be welcomed.

Nomination of Officers looking after Fodder Development for Training organized by Fodder Development Organizations of the Department:

The seven Regional Stations for Forage Production and Demonstration(RFP&D) and one Central Fodder Seed Production Farm located at different agro-climatic regions in addition to fodder seed production, are also mandated to organize training programme in the area of fodder production. It has been brought to the notice of the Department that gradually the number of personnel deputed by the States for training is declining. States may be requested to give due attention to this area and depute maximum number of participants in the training.

Utilization of funds available under RKVY for feed and fodder development:

States should ensure that under District Agriculture Plan (DAP) there is sufficient provision of funds for feed and fodder development. This would ensure adequate allocation of funds for fodder development. States may sensitize the KVKs time to time to give adequate attention to this area.

Participation of States under CSS Feed and Fodder Development Scheme:

States like Chattishgarh, Meghalaya and UTs, need to participate in the scheme.
