FREE VACCINATION
UNDER
CHIEF MINISTER
PROGRAM 2005
IN PUNJAB
(2006-07 to 2008-09)
Total Amount : Rs.116.225 Million
Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore Cantt.
BACKGROUND
Scheme titled “Free Vaccination Under Chief Minister Program 2005 in Punjab” was
approved during the DDSC meeting held on SEP 9, 2006 under chairmanship of Secretary,
L&DD Department, Punjab against total cost of Rs. 116.225 million, with a gestation period of
three years that is w.e.f 01.01.2006 to 30.06.2009.
The main objective of the scheme was to strengthen the vaccine production capacities
and capabilities of Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore so that vaccination coverage of
livestock against fatal diseases be enhanced leading to disease control and increase in livestock
produce. At the time of preparation of the scheme Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore was
producing approximately 20 million and 7 million doses of H.S and ETV, respectively, which
was to cover 40% population of livestock against these diseases. It was aimed that through
implementation of the scheme, the same will be increased to 60% coverage through production
of 30 million and 15 million doses of H.S and ETV, respectively.
The implementation and execution of the scheme was entrusted to Director, Veterinary
Research Institute, Lahore with the collaboration of Director, Animal Health and Field Services.
10 million and 8 million additional doses of H.S and ETV respectively, were to be produced by
Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore and supplied to DAH for vaccination in the field through
engaging 1000 VVWs on daily wages. Maintenance of Seed Bank and Epidemiological study of
disease i.e. H.S and ETV was also to be carried out, in addition to characterizations of local H.S
and ETV strains at Molecular level.
The scheme has completed its gestation period on 30.06.2009 and the PC-IV has also
been submitted by Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore. Date of commencement was proposed
as 1-7-2006 which however was delayed till 9-9-2006 due to late approval.
OBJECTIVES:
The objectives of the project were as under:
1.
To enhance the number of doses of H.S. & Enterotoxaemia Vaccine.
2.
D.G. (E) was to ensure to utilize 100% produced vaccine by the extension staff.
3.
To improve the existing infrastructure of the vaccine production units at
Veterinary Research Institute, Lahore.
4.
Characterization of local H.S and E.T.V strain at molecular level.
5.
To study the epidemiology of the disease.
6.
To maintain seed bank.

PROJECT RISK ANALYSIS:
Disease control and livestock produce enhancement through enhanced vaccination
coverage against fatal diseases is dependent upon vaccine production and its utilization in the
field.
In case of weak coordination between vaccine production unit and field services
(vaccinating agency in this case), the desired results at optimum level are hard to achieve.
Moreover, procedural difficulties viz. purchase of store / stocks, issuance of admin approval and
provision of budget may delay the achievements of targets.
However, the executing agency did not pay heed to risk analysis and adopt remedial
measures during the preparation and implementation period.
OBSERVATIONS:
The project observations are given as under:
1.
The project stand completed within specified time and budget as Rs. 75.661 million
were expended against PC-I provision of Rs. 116.225 million. Item wise detail of
planned and actual expenditure is at Annexure-A.
2.
Financial allocation releases correspond to PC-I phasing. However the expenditure
during 2nd and 3rd year was less i.e. about 69% and 34% of year wise allocations
respectively.
3.
The activities / interventions of this project were in line with the sectoral requirements.
4.
Infrastructure of vaccine production unit has been improved through civil work and
procurement of modern equipments / machinery.
5.
The Recruitment of 1000 VVWs could not be made and the funds were surrendered. The
cause of Recruitment failure is not mentioned in PC-IV except the lack of coordination
between A.H Dept. + vaccine production unit.
6.
The project risks were not identified, keeping in view the coordination issues between
vaccine production unit and vaccinating agency and accordingly the mitigation strategy
to overcome the risks were not in place.
If project achievements are viewed with the efficiency indicators, it reveals that
infrastructure of vaccine production unit and enhanced vaccine production has been achieved,
but these are not verifiable like:

Evidences of vaccine consumption at farmer level are not attached.

Bench marks for milk and meat production are not identified.
The impact of the project requires proper and organized coordination among all stake
holders. It is mandatory to properly utilize the end product that ultimately will result in
improvement of livestock industry.
The executing agency must be well aware of the deficiencies which it has experienced
during implementation phase.
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Therefore keeping in view, financial and physical achievements of the project, it is
proposed that it may be shifted to non-development budget to meet the future demand of
vaccine and to increase cover against those fatal diseases subject to the condition that vaccine
utilization among livestock population must be evidenced.
It is therefore recommended that the project may be transferred to non-development side
with budgetary provisions mentioned in PC-IV as annual operating cost.
