Our objective is to deliberate & propose ideas, to create awareness amongst the masses, train health care givers and basically provide a platform for everyone working in this field to unite in a unified voice and also motivate policy makers and bureaucrats to analyse this concern with a fresh perspective.
We believes that this subject should be looked into with utmost seriousness by the Government of India. The annual rate of death by snakebite in India is far larger than deaths caused by diseases like Aids, Tuberculosis, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and Dengue. Suitable action should be taken.
We believe that the actual death count is far larger than what the report suggests.

USER Organisation was established in the year 2019 at Krishnagiri and has its research office at PSG Science and Technology Entrepreneurial Park (STEP)- Nanotech research innovation and incubation centre (NRIIC), PSG college of Technology campus, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu-India. We are an organisation working with the motto “Towards zero snakebite mortality”.
Snakebite is a major health issue across the globe and snakebite management is a tough task to the doctors in India. Though we use polyvalent antisnake venom to treat snakebite victims, various adverse effects arises like anaphylaxis, serum sickness, breathing difficulties etc. To overcome these major issues, we are working on an effective alternative antivenom research in the form of monovalent(snake specific) and bivalent(venom type specific) anti-snakevenom and also we have developed technologies for the identification of venomous snakebites through Snakebite detection kit(for medically important snake species like Cobra, Krait, Russell’s viper and Saw scaled viper).
The ultimate aim is to emerge as an organisation of excellence with best solutions for snakebite management and to lead with global standards.
