About the webinar:

This second webinar in India’s Roadmap II activities will help explore the need for a One Health framework to ensure a sustainable and safe poultry supply chain for food security in India. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is closely linked with animal welfare, the safety of poultry, biohazards and usage of growth promoters etc. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 2 focuses on zero hunger and stipulates that animals harmed by AMR affect farmers’ livelihoods and negatively impact food security. Similarly, Goal 3 underlines the threat of bloodstream infection due to antimicrobial-resistant organisms and the increased cost of treatment due to AMR.

The East Asian region has been at the forefront of several path-breaking changes since 1970s beginning with the redefining the development architecture with its State-led development model besides emerging as a major region in the global politics and a key hub of the sophisticated technologies. The Centre is one of the thirteen Centres of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi that provides a holistic understanding of the region.

Several distinguished faculty who have now retired include the late Prof. Gargi Dutt, Prof. P.A.N. Murthy, Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Dr. Nranarayan Das, Prof. R.R. Krishnan and Prof. K.V. Kesavan.

The integrated course involves two semesters of classes at the M. Phil programme and a dissertation for the M. Phil and a thesis for Ph. D programme respectively. The central objective is to impart an interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of history, foreign policy, government and politics, society and culture and political economy of the respective areas. Students can explore new and emerging themes such as East Asian regionalism, the evolving East Asian Community, the rise of China, resurgence of Japan and the prospects for reunification of the Korean peninsula.
