  "summary": "Mumbai's JeevOne Welfare Foundation has launched a microchipping project for pets to provide permanent digital identification. The initiative aims to implant microchips in both companion animals and stray populations across India, ensuring that lost or separated animals can be quickly identified using a standard RFID scanner. The central database linked to the microchip stores details about the animal's lineage, medical history, and owner information, helping to mitigate animal abandonment and streamline lost-and-found recovery. JeevOne founder Sanket Bhatt emphasized the initiative's role in establishing accountability for guardians and facilitating rapid reunifications when pets go missing.",
