Newcastle Disease (ND) vaccinators in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha state in India can today look towards bright prospects. The demand for their services has not only spawned new employment opportunities within their locales, but has also helped farmers protect their poultry flocks which would routinely be ravaged by Newcastle Disease outbreaks. In addition, the chance to become a poultry vaccinator and the income that comes along with it has empowered rural women, who can now use their hard earned money to invest in a better future for their families. Access to ND vaccination training in Mayurbhanj district of Odisha has been facilitated by the Bhodal Milk Producers Co-operative Society (BMPCS), a local NGO, and Heifer International in partnership with non-profit Global Alliance for Livestock Veterinary Medicines (GALVmed).
Thirty-seven-year-old, Govardhan Naik from Suryapada always wanted to set up his own business. A university graduate, he first heard of an opportunity to be an ND vaccinator through a friend. After a four day training course that covered vaccination and first aid, he ventured into the field as a trained vaccinator. This was about four years ago.
Govardhan gets his supplies of the ND vaccine from a market at a nearby town, Kosta. He has also procured a refrigerator to store the vaccines and a motorcycle to help him reach the farmers. He serves around 400 households vaccinating close to 5,000 chickens every month. Providing additional services such as deworming and first aid, Govardhan brings home a net income averaging INR 8,000 (US $ 122) monthly, which has positively contributed to the economic well-being of his family.
His work as a vaccinator has brought him recognition from the locals and several of his friends have now shown an interest in the occupation, with one of them now an active vaccinator. “I will continue as a vaccinator even after this current project ends,” he says, referring to the ongoing GALVmed sponsored initiative, much to the relief of numerous households who are grateful for his services and want him to continue.
The effects of the poultry vaccinators’ work on the local economy are visible. When Govardhan first began vaccinating, an average village consisting of about 20 households would have a maximum of 70-80 chickens. After the first year of vaccination, the number skyrocketed to over 1,000. Farmers’ earnings from poultry rearing increased.
“If you work as a vaccinator, you can have an independent enterprise,” he adds.
A vial of the ND vaccine costs between INR 75 (US $1.16) and INR 100 (US $1.55). One vial can vaccinate up to 100 chickens. A vaccinator can charge INR 2 (US $ 0.03) per vaccination. There is also additional income derived from services such as deworming and first aid. For example, Govardhan earns another INR 3,000 or (US $46) from these additional services.
The involvement of women as vaccinators has also contributed to their economic empowerment and participation in decision making within the family unit and their communities. Mamata Mandal, 42, from Tikayatpur village in Ras Gobindpur block, is one such vaccinator. Mamata first got to know about vaccination from Anup Behra, the team leader of Unnayana, a local NGO. Coming from a family that has traditionally reared poultry and having witnessed high mortality of the birds, she readily took up the occupation.
Mamata procures her supplies from a small shop, about 7 km away from her village. Carrying a cool box to store the vaccines, she serves around 250 households in a 3km radius and vaccinates around 5,000 birds. Her services get her an income of INR 3,000 (US $ 46) every month. “With this income I can school my children and buy agricultural inputs for the farm,” she says.
BMPCS started the programme with just 7,500 families in 2011. By December 2016, the NGO had already reached more than 175,000 households. Today BMPCS supports more than 320 vaccinators in the project area.
Heifer International’s project was launched in September 2015. By May 2017, they had served as many as 62,316 households. Today, Heifer International supports more than 218 active vaccinators in the field.
Newcastle disease vaccination has helped turn around the lives of many individuals in Mayurbhanj. The vaccinators stand at the frontlines in the fight against the deadly poultry disease and their services are benefitting many smallholder farmers. And with a stable demand for their services, the vaccinators can hope for a better future.

Leadership Development Program Online – The Benefits
When you hire a new supervisor, it is important to review the benefits of having them complete a leadership development program online, such as 14 Vital Supervision Skills. These programs allow new supervisors to have the convenience of completing the training at their own pace—within reason, of course. Supervisors will also have the opportunity to review the training modules any time they need a reminder on the finer points of management, or they can refer to it if they are not sure how to handle a particular situation. An extensive training program will also help your supervisors be more productive right from the beginning.
It is hard to retain information when you feel rushed, but supervisors who complete a Leadership Training Development Programs Online or Website can do so at their own speed. However, time is of the essence in any business, and that is why each training module in the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program is presented in about six to eight minutes. The modules are intense and focus on the most important elements of being a supervisor. This program stands out above all the rest because it delivers the most effective training in the shortest amount of time, so companies will save money on training costs in the long run.
Information overload is not an uncommon affliction of new employees, and new supervisors are no exception. There is a great deal of information to retain from a Leadership Training Programs Online or Website, and fortunately, the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program makes it easy for supervisors to review the training modules anytime as long as you have uploaded them to your website. It is also difficult to cover every possible situation that could come up during training, so supervisors can also use the modules as a reference if a tough problem comes up. Even if the specific issue is not addressed, supervisors can still easily get advice on how to handle a similar problem.
An effective leadership development program online will help your supervisors be more productive right from the time they step into their new position, too. The more productive your supervisors are, the more effective your employees will be. This is why the 14 Vital Supervision Skills program is so beneficial to training regimens everywhere. Our product presents the right information in the format you need to keep things running smoothly during your new supervisor’s transition into their new job. When you need to present employees with the best information available online, on DVD, or via PowerPoint presentation, think of 14 Vital Supervision Skills!

Alan Duncan, Minister of State for International Development, pictured at a GAVI (Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunisation) and All Party Parliamentary Group event for Global Action against Childhood Pneumonia, 'Saving four million childrens' lives by 2015 through immunisation'.
Speaking at the event, Minister Duncan called for additional investment in the GAVI Alliance to fund immunisation programmes in the world's poorest countries and help stop the deaths of millions of children in poor countries.
Natasha Kaplinsky, Save the Children's Ambassador said:
"Life-saving vaccines are cheap, highly effective and a success story of our generation. But this huge two billion pound funding shortfall is risking the lives of millions of the poorest children around the world, many of whom still have no access to basic vaccines we in the UK take for granted. It’s crucial that world leaders take the chance to fill the funding gap on 13 June and save four million children’s lives before 2015."
Also among the speakers were Jim Dobbin MP, Helen Evans, CEO of GAVI, Simon Wright from Save the Children and Lord Avebury.

Development of the Crusader began in the 1980s as a replacement for the M109 howitzer. Compared with the older vehicle, it featured more automation and new technologies. At the prototype stage, the Army decided that the cost of producing a new howitzer was too much for the benefits to be gained. Crusader was cancelled and the M109, with occasional upgrades, remains in service to this day.

SERIES NOTE:
In some ways I'm unlucky to work at a university out in the new development zone of Lushun, a city 40 minutes along the coast from Dalian. It means I have to get on a bus at 7 am every morning when my friends who work in Dalian are still sound asleep. In other ways I'm lucky. As the city is still a military base closed to casual foreign visitors, I'm one of the few who has first hand experience of it. With a new factory appearing every week and more universities scheduled to arrive in a few months, it's surely only a matter of time before the restrictions are lifted. In preparation for that, the area is recieving an enormous facelift and infrastructure cash injection. A new garden city covering 50 square kilometers is appearing before my eyes. What was waste ground is now a steel shed full of griding machinery. What was a field is now a row of empty apartments. What were formerly empty apartments are now filled with neon lights, barber's poles, bakeries, DVD shops, food stalls... The sense of expectancy and optimism is palpable, yet there is nothing particularly special about this development zone. There are hundreds just like it all across China. Is this what it felt like in the UK just after World War Two as enormous council estates and new towns blossomed ? These days these rural utopias are by and large wastelands of unemployment and social exclusion. What will become of these similar places here in China should the Communist Party's economic growth success story come off the rails is anyone's guess. So while I wouldn't trade living in Dalian city proper for being permanantly stuck out here, I'm glad to be working out here, bearing witness to a new city unfolding.
