NDMA pushes Ministries to embed disaster resilience into planning under vision 2047

India's National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) is urging government ministries to integrate disaster resilience into their long-term planning, aligning with the nation's Vision 2047. NDMA emphasizes that building resilience is crucial for sustainable development and economic prosperity.

This proactive approach aims to ensure that future national strategies and projects inherently account for potential natural and man-made disasters. The goal is to create a more secure and robust infrastructure and society capable of withstanding and recovering from adverse events.

Embedding disaster resilience into national planning is essential to protect lives, infrastructure, and the economy from the increasing threats of climate change and other hazards.
