Srinagar, Dec 17: The third and last phase of training on National Animal Disease Reporting System (NADRS) was kicked off today at Zainabia Institute of Technology and Management, Karan Nagar, here.
 Additional DDC, Budgam, Ghulam Mohi-ud-din Bhat inaugurated the programme.
 Bhat on the occasion said the NADRS is a dedicated computer network system which will link all Talukas in the country to their district headquarters, each district to their state headquarters and each state to the country's Central Unit.
 “The information available at the Taluka would be electronically transmitted to the district veterinary office as well as the state office. Finally from all the states the information would be compiled and transmitted to the centre at DAH&D.”
 He said the computer linkages would reduce data transmission time as well as data compilation and report generation.
 “The disease reports on the basis of clinically diagnosed cases could be informed by the officers in the rural veterinary dispensary to the respective Taluka veterinary officer through the computer system,” he said.
 He said the NADRS would also have an effective interface with disease diagnosis laboratories so that information on confirmed laboratory diagnosis is also available.
 The reporting system will enable the Block, District and State animal health officials to report the disease information and render reports and returns prescribed in this regard via internet, he said.
 Present among others were Chief Animal Husbandry Officer, Budgam, District Informatics Officer, Budgam and DIA Srinagar.
 Pertinently, the training programme has been outsourced to Zainabia Institute of Technology and Management for J&K.
 The training in other districts has already been completed during last two phases.
