The DBT Center in the North East on “Advanced Animal Disease Diagnosis and Services management” is a tripartite concept involving (1) Research Institutes and Agricultural Universities located in the NE Region, (2) National Animal Science Institutes and (3) State Animal Husbandry Departments (SAHD) of NE Region. The project will operate for five years. All these Institutions will coordinate in mission to develop regional core competitiveness to strengthen diagnostic capabilities of endemic, ubiquitous and transboundary diseases of animal and poultry, development of sensitive disease diagnostic protocols and user friendly diagnostic kits, data base management and training to the regional and state level scientists and technical manpower. The network project was officially launched by Dr Harsh Vardhan, Honourable Minister of Science and Technology, Earth Sciences on 17th February at Assam Agricultural University, Khanapara Campus. The prime objective of the project is to bring national scientistsworking in three partner national institute, scientists of regional institutes and stake holders of eight animal husbandry departments in a single plate form. Accordingly an interactive meet was organised for all three partners in the Core laboratory I of the College of Veterinary Science, Khanapara from 25th – 27th February 2015. The meet was initiated on 25th February 2015 by Dr A Chakraborty, Project coordinator of the lead centre cum Director of Research (Vety), Assam Agricultural University, Khanapara. Dr S K Das, Principal Investigator, Core Lab I welcomed all participants including HODs of the host faculty to this unique meet. Dean, Faculty of Vety Science, Khanapara, addressed all delegates and apprised about ongoing activities of the Faculty. It was followed by presentations on progress so far made by the network partners, highlights on priority areas to interact with different partners and points to be raised before funding agency.
A. Progress of the projects : All core lab partners (core labs I,II,III) as well as national partners (NIVEDI earlier PD_ADMAS; NIHSAD earlier HSADL; NRCE/VTCC) have almost completed recruitment of project staffs and contractual labourers. They were trained to handle diagnostic facilities as well as official formalities in respective centre. However, NRCE/VTCC informed that the amount earmarked for contractual workers is far below than state wages and recruitment of contractual worker at such consolidated pay will be violation of state labour law of Haryana Govt.
Core lab I informed that necessary formalities for construction of Laboratory arein advanced stage. Similarly all participating centres informed about the satisfactory progress made in respect of purchase of chemical, glass wares and instruments/equipments etc. With published protocols limited genomics and proteomic diagnostics are standardized at National and NER partner institutes. Besides, conventional diagnostics are either procured or developed to give diagnostic services at field units. National partners are in the process of developing point of care disease diagnostic tools. A contact list is prepared with updated e mail IDs and phone numbers of all involving members of the network partners and circulated to all for regular interaction. Core labs of NER initiated dialogues with state Animal Husbandry stake holders and identified four field disease diagnostic units in each states of North Eastern region. Core

Lab I also informed that training programmes were also conducted in two phases for field level officers on setting up of diagnostic laboratory, collection of samples from animals/birds, epidemiological data, performing of post-mortem examination, handling & dispatch of samples to core-labs etc. A close interaction among core lab partners and SAHD officials was held to identify their actual requirements and modalities to achieve the targets of the project. All national and regional network partner institutes initiated research programmes as per mandate of the respective sub-projects. Project staffs of core labs visited fields in their assigned jurisdictions to collect samples from Pigs, cattle, goats, duck, Chicken regularly. Diagnostic services were also made available to the farmers, pet owners and wild life workers. Sera samples and microbial isolates are preserved in respective core labs to dispatch to the National Repository Centre.
B. i. Priority areas of Core Labs for interacting with Network partners:
The very objective of association of national labs in this project is to strengthen core lab diagnostic facilities at par with national diagnostic laboratories so as to provide timely diagnosis of important animal and avian diseases in this region of the country. With that idea, all three Core labs focused areas of interaction with NIVEDI on development of uniform formats for collection of epidemiological data, field samples, use of sample codes, sample registry, access to existing disease data base, procedure of entryof disease data, sharing of SOPs and available diagnostic kits. NIHSAD needs to train on handling of BSL facilities, TADs samples, analyzing, reporting and sharing of protocols and available kits to diagnose emerging diseases at core lab level. NRCE/VTCC will facilitate sample repository guidelines including preservation protocols (virus, bacteria, fungus, sera), modalities of sample dispatch and transportation, sharing of SOPs, kits, standard Ag, Ab, amplicons for JE, Influenza , haemoprotozoa. Core lab-I raised certain issues to establish linkage with state stake holders for effective and continuous receipt of samples from field.
ii. Priority areas of National labs for interacting with NE partners:
NIVEDI developed genus specific PCR and multiplex PCR for detection of pathogenic bacteria as well as PCR for detection of MRSA, MR-CoNS, ESBL etc.-The SOPs for brucellosis diagnostic tests, for detection of CSFV are also ready to share with NE core labs. Centre can provide user friendly diagnostic kits and technical know-how of diagnosis of Brucellosis and MRSA and CSF, PRRS, TTV. They insisted mutual sharing of the materials (antigens, reagents and sera samples) to strengthen the laboratories and will visit field and core labs to improve lab facilities. Centre can devote for establishment of common SOPs for of field labs and core labs.
4
In respect of NRCE/VTCC, institute can involve to create facilities in core labs to diagnose influenza A (Equine and Swine), Japanese encephalitis/Westnile fever, trypanosomiasis. Related proteomic and genomic protocols are ready to share with NE labs.
NIHSAD can help in development of diagnostics for High-risk Emerging Animal/Zoonotic diseases. Centre will extend all support to train Human Resource in the area of High-risk Emerging Disease Diagnosis and Biosafety. Necessary protocols, kits developed by the centre will be shared with the core labs. Dr. D D Kulkarni, Director, felt very much to develop cell culture CSF vaccine immediately and same should be made available at any cost for the pig growers of the region.
iii. Priority areas for interacting with SAHDs :
State Animal Husbandry partners expressed about shortage of manpowers, paucity of funds and requirement of users’ friendly diagnostics for screening of animal and avian diseases. The state Govt officers shared their experience of difficulties in collection of blood, sera samples etc. They were of the view that for collection of any samples, some incentives in the form of Medicines, feeds. mineral mixtures is a pre requisite and without which collection of any form of information/ sample will not be possible.
Core labs raised certain pertinent points to establish successful linkages with state partners.
i). A nodal team should be constituted to liaise with Director taking state PI as member.
ii). Disease sampling zones/grids should be identified in consultation with respective core labs and survey works can be initiated nearby field units.
iii). State stake holders should take initiative to obtain permission for interstate transfer of samples.
iv). Modalities can be derived to collect samples/information from border areas.
v). State PIs should finalize the mode of transfer of money to state directorate and same should be communicated to the respective Project co-ordinator immediately.
vi). A high level team from University may contact Commissioners and Directors of the eight state A.H. & Veterinary Department to ensure compliance and proper implementation of the project at the state level. Project coordinator of the Lead Centre, Dr A Chakraborty will take the initiative in this regard shortly.
C. Points to be raised for consideration of the Funding Agency:
All network partners identified following common as well as individual issues to be forwarded to the DBT for their consideration and positive action.
5
1. The title of the project that was proposed in the proposal as “ ADVANCED ANIMAL DISEASE DIAGNOSIS AND SERVICE MANAGEMENT CENTERS (AADSMC)” fits to be the title of the project as per objectives of the project. Hence it should be retained instead of the title mentioned in the Sanctioned letter [ Advanced Animal Diagnostics and Services on Animal Health and Diseases (ADSAHD)]. A fresh circular may be issued so as to use in future official correspondence.
2. For smooth functioning of the project, the contribution of all scientists working either in regional or national Institutes needs to be recognized. So NER BPMC may be approached to include them as Co-PI. (Separate sheet is enclosed)
3. Establishment of livestock disease scenario in NER as well as strengthening of competency of human resource in diagnosing diseases is the main focused areas of the project. Therefore, more funds should be allotted in travel head as well as in contingency head for out sourcing of field samples.
4. Regular supply of diagnostic kits, chemicals/plastic-glass wares are necessary to the field units. Therefore, more funds should be allotted under consumable head to all centres.
5. Necessary guidelines should be issued and make arrangements to release fund for payment of salary to the RA/SRF/JRF in enhanced rate in view of the recent order appeared in the circular of DBT. In this regard the wages of Lab Assistant/Office Assistant should be enhanced and HRA should be provided.
6. The wages sanctioned in the project for state like Haryana are too low for appointment of contractual labourer/skilled labourer. Their engagement in this time bound project is utmost necessary. Hence fund may be enhanced.
7. To develop infrastructure facilities at field diagnostic units, fund should be released to all state centres by second year itself. Again, the state wise allocation of budgets to the core lab II needs to be reviewed, as the core lab II has been entrusted with three states whereas budgets have been given for two states only.
8. For NIVEDI, due to escalation of price of instruments one unit of FPA and BD phoenix could not be procured. Allotment of more funds requires to procure the same.
9. Since project will continue for 5 years, NIHSAD, Bhopal proposes dividing of training budget for 5 years instead of 3 years.
10. NIHSAD, Bhopal and NRCE, Hisar need permission for procuring of another instrument instead of approved equipment within the same budget.
11. All Project co-ordinators (National/Core labs/SAHDs) will write to the Advisor,DBT, NER BPMC briefing about their issues with a copy to the Project coordinator, Lead Centre, AAU, Khanapara to take up issues at Delhi.
It was followed by scientific presentations on assigned topic By Dr N N Barman, Dr. D. D. Kulkarni, Dr. Ashwin A Raut, Dr. D. Hemadri, Dr. M. R. Gajendragad , Dr. K. P. Suresh, Dr. S. S. Patil, Dr. S. C. Yadav, Dr. Nitin Virmani, Dr. Sanjay Barua, Dr. R K Vaid, Dr. Rajeswari Shome, Dr B.R. Shome. First day meet was ended with vote of thanks by Dr S K Das, PI of the Core Lab I.
