Health Security to Healthy Systems

This 13-day field seminar moves from surveillance architecture and AMR governance to ecosystem-linked risk assessment and mitigation design.

The Delhi phase introduces One Health governance frameworks, Quadripartite priorities, surveillance workflows, and antimicrobial resistance as a supply chain problem.

NCR field engagement exposes students to lab-to-field pipelines, veterinary–public health interfaces, and food safety regulation nodes.

The Dehradun corridor module sharpens watershed-health and livestock-tourism interfaces. Students conduct rapid risk mapping exercises linking environmental determinants to institutional preparedness gaps.

The final Delhi phase synthesizes findings into a structured One Health risk pathway diagram and mitigation memo using peer-review rubrics.

Students will:

Map surveillance workflows across agencies and sectors.
Identify preparedness bottlenecks in data governance and coordination.
Analyze antibiotic usage governance in livestock and food systems.
Conduct rapid ecological risk assessment exercises.
Evaluate distributional impacts of health security policy.
Produce faculty-gradeable mitigation memos and risk diagrams.
