| 3 | National Animal & Plant Health Inspection Services (NAPHIS) | <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The NAPHIS Project was approved by the CDWP on 17 th August, 2006 at a cost of Rs. 358.060 Million for a period of three years, 2006-09. The Project scope includes: provision of additional staff, lab equipment, vehicles, consultancy resources, staff training/awareness programmes and civil works for the capacity building of the 7 Agricultural Line Departments/Labs (DPP, FSC & RD, GQTL, NVL, DALPMG, AQD & MFD).These line departments/labs though had some system of quality inspection of agriculture produce yet were confronting with capacity constraints .These departments/labs are also functioning in isolation/without any inter-department coordination mechanism. The Project has, therefore, been initiated with an ultimate goal to put in place an integrated Food Safety, Sanitary and Phytosanitary (SPS) Management System in relation to international trade with other countries.</span></span></p> | 17/08/2006 | |
