Rabies is a fatal but entirely preventable disease. In Jaipur, eliminating rabies requires more than isolated vaccination drives it demands high coverage, accurate data, rapid response, and sustained community engagement.
The Jaipur Rabies Elimination Project (JREP) is a three-year, proof-of-concept programme led by Mission Rabies (WVS) in partnership with Help in Suffering (HIS), implemented across Jaipur Heritage and Greater Jaipur Nagar Nigam areas. The project aligns with global best practices recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO)and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH).
Since the start of the project in July 2025, the focus has been clear: protect people and animals by building a comprehensive, city-wide shield against rabies.
In the first phase of implementation, the project has already delivered measurable, on-ground impact:
against rabies through systematic, ward-by-ward coverage
with rabies awareness and bite-prevention education
through targeted outreach
strengthening frontline response and referral systems
To strengthen surveillance and rapid containment:
rabies-related hotline calls handled
following potential exposure
This integrated approach ensures that suspected cases are identified early, communities are informed quickly, and preventive action is taken without delay.
