Venugopal: Suggestions - (i) there's no budgetary allocation for implementation of Rules. If one has AB Centre in each district, it would cost 1600 crores. 5 Ministries in the Union should be involved. We are suggesting designation of a single nodal agency...performance link triggers...a mandate for district level infrastructure in capacity building. Only 66 AB Centres have been accredited at present. 5.2 crore dogs across the country. To ensure population control, we have to multiply this. There's manpower problem also. We need to train a specialized force. If I want to go get my dog sterilized, cost is over rs.10000. If mass scale has to be done in each centre, vets have to be trained. We don't have a centre to train! One centre in Lucknow that exists can train others in 15 day-courses. During Covid, govts working together tackled situation. Same can be done for this.
