National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-being

The Government of India has recently launched the National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-being.
The mission aims to explore the neglected links between biodiversity science and human well-being across the sectors of health, economic development, agricultural production and livelihood generation, in combination with efforts to mitigate climate change and related disasters.
One of the components of the mission explicitly links biodiversity to human health through the OneHealth framework.
The OneHealth programme aims to encourage team science by having networks of institutions collectively bid for grants to set up integrated OneHealth surveillance systems across India.

One Health concept is being recognized as an effective way to fight health issues at the human-animal-environment interface, including zoonotic diseases.

This concept is used by the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). In India, it is a component of the National Mission on Biodiversity and Human Well-Being.
