Dr Shivanand Kanshi  contesting  for the member of  veterinary Council of India(VCI) from the State of Jharkhand. He has appealed the veterinarians throughout country for  their dear available support. He said that the current scenario of the veterinary profession in the country is facing  various challenges in relation to professional identity and proper use of  skill- efficiency for national development in terms of food security, safe production of animal products and facing the challenges of the climate change. Dr Kanshi  says that why not a veterinarian  is entitled to avail the facility of a doctor to fulfill and complete the national mission for "one health concept". 


Dr Kanshi says that the Government of India,  is considering to provide required minimum health services to the citizen of country. The Government has undertak-en various steps for increasing the availability of doctors as per the requirement and the increasing demand of the country."Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced for increasing the retirement age of Medical doctors  to 65 years to overcome the shortage,  and the Government of India had enhanced the rretirement age of the Specialist/  Non-teaching and public health sub-cadre of Central Health Services and General Duty Medical Officers (GDMO) to 65 years with w.e.f. 31st May 2016.The demand of Dental doctors was also accepted vide order dated 27.9.2017 as per the parity of GDMO with Dental and other streams of doctors and made applicable from the same date i.e. 31.5.2016", said Dr Kanshi.


He raised this issue and appealed the PM Modi stating  that if a decision for creation of “Rashtriya Kamdhenu Aayog” taken for the conservation, protection and devel-opment of cows and their progeny, which would provide the policy framework and direction to the cow conservation and development prgrammes in the country and for ensuring proper implementation of laws with respect to the welfare of cows as well as announced on 11th  September, 2019, a “National Animal Disease Control Programme” for Foot and Mouth Disease and Brucellosis, which is a 100%    centrally funded programme, with a total outlay of Rs.12,652 crore from 2019 to 2024 with aims to control Foot and Mouth Disease and Brucellosis by 2025 with vaccination and eventual eradication by 2030.


In this juncture, he says that The Fifth and Sixth CPC had extended parity of Veterinary Doctors with General Duty Medical Officers and Dental Doctors to the posts of Veteri-nary Officers requiring a     degree of B.V. Sc. & AH along with registra-tion in the Veterinary Council of India. As per parity the Veterinarians are entitled for Non-Practicing allowance (NPA) and Dynamic Assured Carri-er Progression Scheme (DACP).As per the current scenario, there is a shortage of veterinarians (approx-imately. 1, 15,000) in the country. However, as per recommendation of “One Health India Conference 2019, the  country has to launch the New One Health Initiative - an intersectoral coordination approach to tackling the most urgent health threats in India related to food safety, control of zoonotic diseases  and combatting antibiotic resistance problems which are also associated with climate change.


Dr Kanshi says that "there is an urgent need for enhancement of superannuation age of Vet-erinary Doctors to 65 years as per parity with GDMO and Dental Doctors w.e.f. 31st May 2016  to  overcome the shortage of  veterinarians to im-plement the national programmes of  livestock  development and dis-ease control in the country".
