National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP)
The plan aims to make India disaster resilient and reduce loss of lives.
This is the first ever national plan prepared in the country.
It aims to make India disaster resilient and significantly reduce the loss of lives and assets. The plan is based on the four priority themes of the “Sendai Framework,” namely: understanding disaster risk, improving disaster risk governance, investing in disaster risk reduction (through structural and non-structural measures) and disaster preparedness, early warning and building back better in the aftermath of a disaster.
Salient Features of the Plan
The plan covers all phases of disaster management: prevention, mitigation, response and recovery. It provides for horizontal and vertical integration among all the agencies and departments of the Government. The plan also spells out the roles and responsibilities of all levels of Government right up to Panchayat and Urban Local Body level in a matrix format. The plan has a regional approach, which will be beneficial not only for disaster management but also for development planning.
It is designed in such a way that it can be implemented in a scalable manner in all phases of disaster management. It also identifies major activities such as early warning, information dissemination, medical care, fuel, transportation, search and rescue, evacuation, etc. to serve as a checklist for agencies responding to a disaster. It also provides a generalized framework for recovery and offers flexibility to assess a situation and build back better.
To prepare communities to cope with disasters, it emphasizes on a greater need for Information, Education and Communication activities.
Minister of Home Affairs Shri Rajnath Singh, Minster of State for Home Affairs Shri Kiren Rijiju, and senior officers of the Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Home Affairs and National Disaster Management Authority were present during the function.

Too much of marketing of different materials going on, people are making huge claims their material is best and most comprehensive. Some fake accounts are discussing materials' names just to create curiosity among aspirants. Yes, there may be good materials but all can't be good. I am not a pro in RBI grade B exam everybody knows whats right or whats wrong,but I think its my duty as an old member of Pagalguy to beware new members or new aspirants that no material can ensure success in short time, they can supplement but none can sail you through on its own. So make decisions wisely and don't waste your hard earned money(or your Guardian's), choose two three sources, make groups and buy if you feel that material is worth the spending, follow the advise of people who got success in previous attempts. All the best.
