One Health Governance in India: Scientific Perspectives on the National Model Framework for States and Union Territories

Year: 2026

Type: editorial

Abstract: Emerging zoonoses, antimicrobial resistance, and climate-linked health threats demand countermeasures that transcend geopolitical boundaries. India's unique ecological and administrative structure makes One Health operationalization both urgent and structurally complex. However, translating One Health from concept to practice has proven difficult, largely due to fragmented governance and weak intersectoral co-ordination. The Government of India’s governance framework model - Strengthening One Health Governance in States and Union Territories under the National One Health Mission, needs broader scientific dissemination, which will be essential to generate field evidence, catalyse peer learning across States and Union Territories, and strengthen its execution.
