NDMA Encourages Ministries to Integrate Disaster Resilience into Vision 2047 Planning

In a recent statement, a member of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) emphasized the critical importance of resilience in building a developed and prosperous India. The member articulated that resilience should not merely be viewed as an option but rather as a fundamental requirement for the nations growth and stability.

The call for resilience comes against the backdrop of increasing natural disasters and climate-related challenges that India faces. The NDMA, established in 2005, plays a pivotal role in coordinating disaster management efforts across the country, including preparedness, response, and recovery initiatives.

Building resilience involves strengthening infrastructure, enhancing community preparedness, and fostering sustainable development practices. It also necessitates collaboration between government agencies, local communities, and non-governmental organizations to ensure a holistic approach to disaster risk management.

As India aims to further its socio-economic development, the NDMAs emphasis on resilience underscores the need for proactive measures to mitigate potential risks and safeguard both people and resources in the face of future adversities.
