The Ministry of Panchayati Raj (MoPR) and the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) have approved an outlay of more than ₹500 crore for disaster risk reduction initiatives across the country. The funding aims to strengthen disaster preparedness, resilience, and risk mitigation measures at the grassroots level.
The approved projects will focus on enhancing local capacities, improving disaster management infrastructure, and promoting community-based resilience programs. The initiative is expected to help local bodies better respond to natural disasters and climate-related challenges.
Officials emphasized the importance of integrating disaster risk reduction into development planning and strengthening coordination among stakeholders. The move aligns with India’s broader efforts to build resilient communities and reduce the social and economic impact of disasters through proactive risk management and preparedness measures.
