Programme Report
The first session of day one focused on briefing the participants about the course, logistic arrangements, administrative announcements and concept
of Host team. Host Team was created to involve participants in the conduct of the program. They were given various responsibilities during
the program.
During the second session, participants introduced themselves in detail and stated their expectations from the course. Main stress by the
participants was on learning about initiatives about disaster management and preparedness, mitigation and response measures to various disasters.
Knowledge and information about various Disaster Risk Reduction measures were also one of the expectations of the participants.
The last session of the day was formal inaugural session. During this session, participants were welcomed by
Prof. Santosh Kumar, Course Coordinator of the course. Dr.
Satendra, Executive Director, NIDM welcomed the participants and thanked
MEA and MHA for once again trusting NIDM to conduct of this programme. He
explained the capacity building initiatives being implemented by NIDM. He then
said that the collaboration between NIDM, MEA, MHA and African countries would be there to stay and NIDM
would be happy to organize such courses in future also.
Shri R. K. Srivastava, Joint Secretary (DM), MHA while addressing the
participants informed about various organizations working in the field of
disaster management and capacity building viz. NDMA and NIDM etc. He
also detailed out the institutional structure prevalent in the country
for managing disasters and various global initiatives undertaken in
preparedness and response to disasters. He also mentioned about
the National Disaster Response Fund which has been instituted for response related activities.
Shri Lokesh Jha, Joint secretary (PP), MHA addressed the participants
and thanked NIDM for taking up the
responsibility of organizing the programme at the behest of PP Division, MHA.
11
H.E. (Ms.) Nimisha Madhvani, Ambassador of Uganda in India at the outset thanked Government of India for organizing such a
programme. She also emphasized the need for safer and better global environment. She
stressed the importance of lessons learnt from past disasters in rebuilding of the affected
country after disaster. She said that capacity building is necessary for effective reduction of disaster risks. She floated
an idea of having an Institute like that of NIDM or linking NIDM to any vocational institute in one of the African countries.
Shri Gurjeet Singh, Additional Secretary (E & SA), MEA in his inaugural
speech touched briefly on activities of MEA and initiatives taken by it in
the field of Disaster management. He also stressed the need of such courses to
be conducted in future in collaboration with various Governments of other
countries. He also drew similarities between India and participating African
countries in respect to drought and flood. He emphasized that the effect of these
disasters gets further intensified due to climate change impact and urbanization.
He expressed his concern over unplanned and un-thoughtful urbanization. He thanked NIDM for accepting the request of MEA for organizing such
courses and enabling Government of India in achieving its initiative under the Indo-African summit.
Prof. Santosh Kumar, Course Director, NIDM proposed a formal vote of thanks.
13
Day Two
Day two began with the technical session on Disaster Risk Reduction and Development. During this session, Prof. Santosh Kumar discussed about various Initiatives of Government of India in the field of disaster
management and how developmental issues have been addressed while taking these initiatives. He emphasized the need of the fact that every
development should have mitigation and preventive measures inbuilt. This would not only help reducing the impact of disasters but also help
grow a better environment to live in. He also touched upon the disaster management concept in India and Africa and the commonalities between
the two.
In his subsequent presentation on Issues and challenges for
Governance and Policy, Prof.
Kumar discussed in detail the trends of disaster events
globally and India & Africa in particular. He further discussed
the global framework for disaster management. He
emphasized that every disaster has thrown new challenges for governance and has been managed in a
different manner. Participants also expressed that they have also been facing disasters man-made in particular and have come across challenges
of different nature with every passing disaster. A consensus was arrived to the fact that an out of the box thinking is always necessary for
managing any disaster as every disaster has new dimensions.
Dr. K J Anandha Kumar, Associate professor with NIDM started his
presentation on Concepts and causes of flood and early warning and preparedness measures
related to floods. He started the presentation with various
statistics of flood and its impact. He then discussed
various types, causes and impact of floods in detail.
Flood control measures, both structural and non-
structural, and initiatives taken for tackling floods was
also discussed during his presentation. He shared
with the participants various benefits of floods like ground water recharge
etc. during his presentation.
14
Dr. Satendra, Executive Director NIDM shared his experiences of
managing Kosi Floods of 2008 in the state of Bihar. He apprised the participants about the incident and its impact. He then explained how
Kosi Floods 2008, one of the worst disasters, was
managed and various response activities were
carried out by Government of Bihar
State with the help of Central Government. He
emphasized that there were two major
initiatives that were
taken by the Government of Bihar during post disaster of this event. One was Owner
Driven Reconstruction Approach, where the affected were requested to build their own houses with the help both technical and financial, from the
government. This helped in an increased sense of satisfaction and ownership amongst the affected community. The second approach was
Built Back Better, which not only emphasized the need of reconstruction of the damaged house but also making it reseilient to multi hazard
affecting the area. This was also carried out with the help of community.
The last session of the day was on Basic Concepts of Disaster Management. Shri Shekher Chaturvedi, NIDM took this session. This
session was conducted as a group exercise. Groups came up with the definitions of Hazard, Risk, Vulnerability and Capacity which were
summed up by Shri Chaturvedi with the help of definitions in the DM Act
2005 and given by UNISDR.
Day Three
The day began with Dr. PK Mishra, Chairman, GERC, sharing his experiences about Administrative challenges of handling catastrophic
situation. He took up the case study of Gujarat Earthquake
2001 and explained about how despite all odds,
government of Gujarat could manage such a huge disaster
where about 14000 people died and there was huge loss
of property. During his
presentation, he explained the participants about the
shift in approach of managing disasters from Post-disaster
centric to pre-disaster centric. He explained the challenges faced by the
15
administration like their family emergencies, own injuries, span of
damage, availability of resources, etc. In his second presentation on Funding disasters, Dr. Mishra said that funding mechanism prevalent in the country is Calamity Relief Fund (CRF)
which is based on recommendation of Finance Commission. Centre and State share the contributions to CRF. Further to it National Calamity
Contingency Fund is also utilized when CRF is not adequate for relief expenditure. However, both these funds are meant for immediate relief
and reconstruction and not for long term recovery. He emphasized the need for risk transfer mechanism for financing disasters like Insurance.
Citing Gujarat example where Insurance mechanism was successfully used, he said that Risk Insurance can be an alternate mechanism. He also
informed the participants about latest development in financing disasters in the form of National Disaster Mitigation Fund (NDMF) and National
Disaster Response Fund (NDR Fund) projected by the 13th Finance
Commission. The NDR Fund has been constituted with a corpus to support post disaster activities while NDMF is in the process. He also mentioned
that a Capacity Building Grant has been constituted by the 13th Finance Commission to support the Capacity building activities in the states of the
country. He also flagged the issues like re-insurance, public-private partnership in this field and affordability of the needy which need to be
addressed for an effective financing mechanism for disaster management.
Dr. Shiraz Wajih, GEAG shared his view on Climate change and food security with the participants.
He started of with brief on concept of climate change and
its impact. He stated that climate change has resulted in
varied rainfall and has led
subsequently to increased disaster risks and exposed much
more area to disasters. He then touched upon impact of climate
change on agriculture and thus leading to food insecurity. He discussed these issues with the case study
of Uttar Pradesh.
Day Four
Day four began with the technical session on Systematic Approach to
Training. During this session, Prof. Santosh Kumar discussed about various concepts and cycle of training like learning, Imitation, being told,
etc. He also discussed the pedagogy and Initiatives of Government of
India in the field of disaster management and how developmental issues have been addressed while taking these initiatives. He emphasized the
need of the fact that every development should have mitigation and preventive measures inbuilt. This would not only help reducing the impact
of disasters but also help grow a better environment to live in. He also
16
touched upon the disaster management concept in India and Africa and
the commonalities between the two. Participants were also taken to India Meteorological Department to have a first hand experience on Cyclone monitoring system and early warning
dissemination to concerned authorities. DG IMD welcomed the participants and apprised them about the activities and collaborations of
IMD. This was followed by a presentation about concepts, initiatives and warning mechanism for cyclones was made by Dr. K. Mohapatra.
Participants were then taken around various sections of IMD where they had a face to face viewing of cyclone warning system and seismic
monitoring system.
Day Five
Prof. Santosh Kumar while making the presentation on damage and
Loss assessment, deliberated on the issue of difference between damage and loss and non-assessment of loss by many during disasters. This leads
to a great discrepancy in actual assessment and planning for recovery. He emphasized the need of having correct identification of damage and loss
of any affected area in order to plan the activities for better management of post disaster activities like allocation of funds, recovery plan, etc.
Prof. Vinod K. Sharma, IIPA shared his thoughts on Cross cutting and
humanitarian issues focusing on Community based disaster management. He started his session with
various community based initiatives taken in this field
and their integration in the ongoing programmes. He
emphasized the need and
importance of Community centric disaster management
as this would help in long term sustainability of the initiatives
and ownership of programmes. He then put-forth the idea that
