Abstract

In India under the guidance of the CPCSEA we impart the Three Rs as part of the teaching and training of medical students. Recent trend is to include the 4th R - rehabilitation. Presently the funding agencies in the public sector insist on allocating funds for the rehabilitation of the animals intended to be used in experimentation. The teaching at our institute seeks to highlight the 4 R. The results of encouraging the 4th R will be presented and discussed in the light of socio-religious tenets of Asian Indians of this country.
