India is very
vulnerable to natural hazards because of its unique geo-climatic conditions. Disasters
occur in India with grim regularity causing enormous loss of life and property.
In the realm of
crisis management, announcing a policy or promulgating a law or creating an
institution is a relatively easy task; the challenge lies in implementing
policies to achieve the desired outcomes. Crisis management, a governance issue
that is both vital and complex, is at the core of India’s administrative
system. The system requires innovative thinking and fundamental changes in
order to quicken the emergency responses of administration and increase the
effectiveness of the machinery to meet the crisis situation and enhance crisis
preparedness.
Hence, Second ARC has
given Report on Crisis Management and discusses the issues and solutions in
details.
The content of the
Report can be directly used in the Mains Answer for fetching good marks. (Quote
the solutions by ARC in the Disaster management questions).
