National One Health Mission

About Program

The Prime Minister's Science, Technology, and Innovation Advisory Council (PM-STIAC), in its 21^st meeting, approved the setup of a National One Health Mission — a cross-ministerial initiative to coordinate, support, and integrate all existing One Health activities in the country. The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) serves as the implementing agency, with an approved SFC amount of ₹383.83 Crores for R&D and coordination.

Following the second Scientific Steering Committee meeting (15^th April 2025) chaired by the Principal Scientific Advisor to the Government of India, it was recommended that ICMR/DHR organize a dissemination event and initiate community awareness programs in collaboration with academic institutions.

Aligned with these recommendations, the Division of Communicable Diseases (ICMR HQ) will host the National One Health Conclave on 20^th–21^st November 2025. The conclave will bring together ministries, departments, academicians, and experts to highlight India’s leadership under the National One Health Mission, showcasing research and multisectoral collaboration to strengthen health security and sustainability.

Youth participation from various states will be a major focus — inspiring awareness, innovation, and ownership among the next generation of One Health advocates and champions.

The event welcomes policymakers, scientists, academicians, and youth representatives from across the nation — all working towards strengthening the One Health ecosystem through collaboration and innovation.

The Conclave will be conducted over two days and inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India. The programme will feature plenary sessions, technical sessions, and panel discussions with intersectoral experts, along with dedicated youth engagement activities to encourage student participation in the One Health movement. An exhibition will showcase innovations, best practices, and collaborative initiatives aligned with the One Health approach.

The draft event plan for the One Health Mission Conclave is organized into three event tracks for smooth execution, ensuring clarity and seamless flow across different activities.

This structure ensures high-level policy discussions, international scientific engagement, and strong youth participation, while highlighting the achievements and impact of the One Health Mission.
