Will the Minister of HOME AFFAIRS be pleased to state:

(a) whether the Government is aware about the menace caused by stray dogs and safety of citizens from attacks by stray dogs in the country and if so, the details thereof;

(c) the measures taken by the Government to put an end to the stray dog menace in the country?

ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a): Government  is  aware  of  the  menace  caused  by  stray  dogs  and safety  of  citizens  from  attacks  by  stray  dogs  in  the  country.  The increasing population of stray dogs is due to ineffective implementation of the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 by the local bodies in the country.

…..2/

## L.S.US.Q.NO.2572 FOR 02.08.2016

(b): No such guidelines/rules have been issued by the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) so far.

(c): The Government has enacted the Animal Birth Control (Dogs) Rules, 2001 and as amended in 2010 has mandated the local bodies to carry out the  Animal  Birth  Control  (ABC)  Program  to  control  the  street/stray  dog population  and  prevention  of  rabies.  The  Animal  Birth  Control  (Dogs) Rules,  2001  provides  for  sterilization  and  vaccination  of  stray  dogs  to control the stray dog population and to prevent rabies, and reduce mandog conflict.

Stability in dog population is achieved when 70% of their population is  sterilized. Rabies could be wiped out & man-dog conflict controlled if the  ABC  Rules  are  followed  in  letter  and  spirit.  The  cities  of  Chennai, Jaipur,  Jodhpur,  Kalimpong,  Ooty  and  entire  State  of  Sikkim  have achieved very good results by intensively sterilizing and vaccinating the street dogs as per the ABC / AR program.

- (a) to (d) No,  Sir.  There  is  no  proposal  to  launch  any  programme  like  Community  Forest Management Mission (CFMM) in the country. However, in accordance with the objectives  of  National  Forest  Policy,  1988,  the  Ministry  of  Environment,  Forest and Climate Change issued Guidelines in 1990 for involving the communities in forest  management  under  the  Joint  Forest  Management  (JFM)  approach.    These Guidelines were subsequently modified in the year 2000 and 2002.

Under the JFM approach, State Forest Departments support local forest dwelling and forest  fringe  communities  to  protect  and  manage  forests  and  share  the  costs and benefits from the forests with them. Communities organize themselves into a JFM Committee to protect and manage nearby forests as per the micro plans. These committees are known by different names in different States such as Van Suraksha Samiti  (VSS),  Eco  Development  Committee  (EDC),  Village  Forest  Committee (VFC),  Joint  Forest  Management  Committee  (JFMC),  etc.  As  of  now,  about 1,18,2013 such committees are working to manage around 22.94 m ha of forests in the country.

As  per  available  estimates  (2015),  total  cultivable  land  in  the country has come down by  about 3.0 million hectare during the last two decades (1982-83  to 2012-13).

## MINISTER  OF  STATE  (INDEPENDENT  CHARGE)  FOR  ENVIRONMENT,  FOREST AND CLIMATE CHANGE

## (SHRI ANIL MADHAV DAVE)

- (a) & (b) In 2010, India adopted a voluntary goal of reducing the emissions intensity of its GDP by 20-25%, over 2005 levels, by 2020. A number of policy measures have been implemented to achieve the voluntary goal. As a result, the emission intensity of GDP has come down by 12% between 2005 and 2010 as per the Biennial Update Report (BUR) submitted to the United  Nations  Framework  Convention  on  Climate  Change  (UNFCCC).  The  United Nations  Environment  Programme  (UNEP),  in  its  Emission  Gap  Report,  2014,  has recognized India as one of the countries on track to achieve the voluntary pre- 2020 pledge.

In  2015,  India  announced,  as  part  of  its  Intended  Nationally  Determined  Contributions (INDCs), its commitment to reduce emission intensity of its GDP by 33 to 35 percent from 2005 levels by 2030.

- (c) & (d) The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) clearly lays down that the principles  of  Equity  and  Common  But  Differentiated  Responsibilities  and Respective Capabilities (CBDR-RC) should guide climate actions and therefore India has

argued that developed countries should take lead in mitigation actions and provisions of means  of  implementation  in  terms  of  finance,  technology  development  and  transfer  and capacity  building  support  to  developing  countries.  These  principles  have  also  been embedded in the Paris Agreement adopted in 2015.
