The word Rabies is derived from the Sanskrit 'Rabhas' whichmeans'todoviolence'. Dog is depicted as a faithful animal and also as a vehicle of death. In the epic 'Mahabharata', the Lord of Death, Yama,appears in the form of a dog and accompa- nies King Yudhishtira in his final journey, towards 'Swarga', the abode of gods. India accounts for about one third of the global bur- den and two thirds of the Asian burden of human ra- bies. Dogs account for most of these human rabies deaths in India. Rabies is endemic in mainland India.

Rtn Alakananda and Rotary spouse Debjani Sarkar were present on the occasion. deaths due to rabies are large population of stray dogs, poorvaccinationcoverageof domestic dogs and cats; and incomplete Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP)coverage ofhumanvictimsofdogbite. The landmark Survey conducted in the year 2003 by the Association for Pre- vention and Control of Ra- bies in India, under the aegis of the World Health Organi- zation (WHO-APCRI Sur- vey) revealed many inter- esting and previously un- known facts about the situ- ation in India. The number of animal exposures per year in India is 17.4 per 1000 population. The current population of India is around 1.27 billion and presently the number of persons getting exposed to animals would be about 22 million every year. Impor- tantly the annual man days lost due to exposures to ani- mals is 38 million. Thisiscomparabletothat due to cardiovascular dis- eases, which are emerging and have gained importance in a developing country like India. The number of deaths due to Human Rabies is about 20,000 per year in India.. The maximum no. of deaths in the world due to human rabies (36%) are re- ported from India. The main reasons for human deaths due to rabies are not taking Post Exposure Prophylaxis and use of in- digenous forms of treatment instead of modern PEP. The main animal reser- voir of Rabies in India is the Dog. The pet or owned dog population in India is about 28 million and the pet dog is tomanratiois1:36.(Thestray dog population may be 2 to 3 times that of the pet dogs). Due to a high dog: man ratio the incidence of ani- mal bites is high in India The pet dog care and management practices are not satisfactory and the municipal licensing of pet dogs is inadequate. Vaccina- tion of dogs and dog popu- lation control (ABC programme) have an impor- tant part to play in control- ling the disease in the ani- malreservoir. The commonanimalres- ervoirs of Rabies, after dogs, are cats, cattle, goats, and pigs and mongoose and jackal among the wild ani- mals. Human Rabies is en- demic throughout the main- land and only the islands of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep are free of Rabies. Proper wound manage- ment, which includes wash- ing of the wounds with soap and water and application of antiseptics, plays an impor- tant role as a first aid mea- sure after exposure to an ani- mal and helps in preventing the disease. Association for Preven- tion and Control of Rabies inIndia(APCRI),established in 1998, is a Professional Association which is active in the field of Rabies preven- tion/control in India. A Pilot project on con- trol of Human Rabies was initiated by the Government of India with a vision to for- mulate a comprehensive Rabies Control Strategy for nation-wideimplementation. This project was started un- der the supervision of the National Center for Disease Control,NewDelhi.Fivecit- ies viz. Ahmedabad, Banga- lore,Delhi,MaduraiandPune were included under this project. The introduction of Cell CultureVaccinesin2005and IDRV in 2006 and increased useofRabiesImmuneglobu- lins in our country seem to have reduced the mortality due to human Rabies . Properplanning,involve- ment of all stake holders and awareness among the pub- lic are necessary to eliminate this killer disease.

AnuragFoundationorganise workshoponThalassemiatoday Jamshedpur:Aspartofitsawarenessprogrammewhich is aimed at enhancing knowledge on Thalassemia, city-based philanthropic organisation Anurag Foundation is all set to organise a workshop on Thalassemia at the SNTI audito- rium on September 29. The workshop will be conducted by senior consultant (Col.) Deepak K Mishra from Tata Medical Centre, Kolkata. T P Madhusudanan, general manager, medical services, Tata Steel will be the chief guest. Anurag Foundation President, Ronald D'costa said that idea is to spread greater awareness on the ailment. When asked about the best way to prevent Thalassemia, he said: "All it requires is willingness of young couples to voluntarily undergo the blood test to check their carrier sta- tus.Asmall prick for them today can ensure that their child is not subjected to a lifetime of needles and painful transfu- sions and they do not have to share the child's pain." He went on to add that a simple blood test has the power to prevent Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder in which the bone marrow cannot form sufficient red cells and red cell survival is also threatened. D'costa said that one in every ten in Jharkhand is at least a Thalassaemia carrier. If both husband and wife are carriers, then there is a 75 per cent probability that the child would be a major, too. If it is dormant, it does not affect the normal life or work style of the person. If, on the other hand, it turns out to be major, it requires regularbloodtransfusionsonceortwiceamonth".TheAnurag Foundation was set up eight years ago to assist Thalas- semic patients by facilitating blood transfusions in a hy- gienic atmosphere. This is the only organisation in Jharkhand having this as their mission. It may be mentioned that Anurag Foundation is a philan- thropic organisation of the city. It comprises a small group of citizens of Jamshedpur who have been working for the well-being of children suffer- ing from Thalassemia since April 2002. Its objective is to bring to children suffering from Thalassemia moments of joy and comfort in a life full of enforced pain and discomfort.
