Amit Shah Advocates for Initiatives to Eliminate Heatwave-Related Fatalities

The National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has articulated its primary objective of achieving zero fatalities and minimizing property damage during disaster events. Established in 2006 under the Disaster Management Act, the NDRF plays a crucial role in disaster preparedness, response, and mitigation across India. The organization is composed of multiple battalions trained in various aspects of disaster management, including search and rescue operations, medical assistance, and community awareness programs. In addition to on-ground interventions, NDRF focuses on capacity building and training at local levels to enhance resilience in vulnerable communities.
