FW: First state wide ABC/AR programme in India?

[Guest guest]

Dear friends,

 

SARAH's achievement is something we should all strive to achieve in our

respective states.

 

For all of us who get disappointed and frustrated at not getting instant

results, this should be a good lesson

in how to keep plugging away till our goal is reached.

 

I am sure all of you join me in congratulating Vets Beyond Borders for

this signal achievement.

 

Regards

 

S. Chinny Krishna

First state wide ABC/AR programme in India?

 

Dear Dr Krishna,

 

I wanted to share our good news from Sikkim with you, and I am hoping

you can help us publicise this throughout India. The Sikkim Anti-Rabies

and Animal Health (SARAH) programme has officially become a separate

Division of the Animal Husbandry Department - see official notification

attached. This is very exciting news indeed for the people and animals

of Sikkim. I believe that this is the first time an animal welfare

programme has been incorporated into the Animal Husbandry Dept - please

let me know if you know of any other states that have done this. I also

believe Sikkim is the first state in India to have a state wide ABC/AR

programme - again please let me know if I am wrong.

 

This programme has been very successful and appreciated by the public of

Sikkim, but India wide publicity of the good achievements of the

programme has been sorely lacking. I would be so appreciative if you can

suggest how I can rectify this. It will certainly help our future

funding and support if the Government of Sikkim is praised for its

animal welfare activities. I also believe that it is important for

other Indian states to know about this programme as they may wish to

implement similar strategies within their own Animal Husbandry Dept.

 

I will forward this email to AWBI and Animal People to see if they also

have any suggestions.

 

Thank you very much for your help.

 

Kind regards

Beth
