Sankshay Urges States to Join Hands with MBF – A Compassionate Solution to Dog–Human Conflict That Can Generate Rs 15,000 Crore Plus for the Economy

New Delhi [India], March 03: Sankshay Babber has called upon all state governments to adopt Project Man’s Best Friend (MBF)—a National Public Safety & Governance Mission designed to permanently resolve India’s dog–human conflict while unlocking a ₹15,000+ Crore regulated canine economy and creating lakhs of jobs. MBF treats the issue not as a stray menace, but as a governance and economic opportunity. The model integrates identification, 80%+ vaccination coverage, sterilisation tracking, behaviour monitoring, and structured deployment of community dogs into a single accountable system.

Under MBF, existing animal pounds will be transformed into government-owned animal hospitals and trauma units—boosting sterilisation capacity, expanding veterinary employment, and generating sustainable state revenue. A centralized mobile app will allow municipalities and feeders to collaboratively track sterilisation, feeding zones, health checks, behavioural reports, geotagged databases, microchipping, and adoption drives.

The framework proposes freelancing sterilisation to accredited private medical centres, training society dogs into security assets, deploying therapy dogs in hospitals, implementing reflective collaring of dogs and cattle to reduce road accidents, and incentivising Indie dog adoption while introducing structured taxation on foreign breeds.

By shifting from removal-based policies to regulated coexistence, MBF aims to reduce bite incidents, eliminate rabies risk, restore civic order, and build a self-sustaining humane governance system.

“Our country has been an animal loving nation with root examples in our Gods having half animal forms and worshipping animals, I plan on worshipping our roots and following the paths our ancestors did to make a better animal human relationship through MBF".
