Abstract	WHO defines the One Health approach as a concept that promotes a trans disciplinary, cross-sectoral, and collaborative framework for linking and coordinating human health, animal health, and the environment. In this respect, this approach is quite relevant in India due to the increased prevalence of zoonotic diseases caused by India’s vast geographical area, more variable types of wildlife, a large number of cattle and other livestock, and a high human density. The outline of the National One Health Mission in India is to maintain health agendas coherent via intersectoral coordination, to reinforce current One Health initiatives, as well as to identify deficiencies. This research paper aims to understand the implication of the National One Health Mission in improving the sustainability of the public health system and containing the risks of diseases in India. Based on the literature review and the data obtained from 12 articles, the paper aims at discussing the context, as well as the accomplishments and barriers of the mission. Altogether, the mission has disease surveillance, environmental monitoring, and outbreak investigation, and the study shows that these factors are of huge value in the sustainability of public health. Nevertheless, difficulties like scarcity of funding, poor management, and integration amongst sectors remain an issue to this day. The findings thus argued that there is a need to implement the above-identified challenges, based on policy reforms; resource development; and multisectoral collaborations for the achievement of the mission. The study offers useful information on the effects and the difficulties observed during the formulation and implementation of the National One Health Mission and thus helps in stressing the need to improve on fares, policy guidance, and practice to obtain the desired aimed public health gains and disease prevention results.
