'New Delhi: The dairying and animal husbandry ministry will on Tuesday launch 'One Health' pilot project in Bengaluru, bringing stakeholders from animal, human and environment health on a common platform to come out with solutions to prevent outbreak of zoonotic disease (such as coronaviruses) in Future.
The success of the pilot will help the Centre develop a national 'One Health' roadmap, equipped with better response mechanism and management while incorporating global best practices.
The pilot will be launched in collaboration with Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) and Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) as implementation partners. Besides Karnataka, the department of animal husbandry & dairying (DAHD) is implementing the pilot project in Uttarakhand as well. 
"The DAHD would develop a national 'One Health' roadmap based on the learnings of this initiative which in turn would help to prevent the future zoonotic disease out-breaks, equipped with better response mechanisms and management while incorporating global best practices," said the ministry.
By developing the 'One Health' framework, India will successfully address the need for efficient disease reporting and response coordination, optimum utilisation of resources, emergency preparedness, build capability to handle diseases of economic and zoonotic importance and create public awareness.
