Online Training Programme on Incident Response System Basic & Intermediate for Northern States (Part VII) Online Training Programme on Incident Response System Basic & Intermediate For Northern States (Part VII) [6th – 8th January, 2021] Course Report Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration, Punjab Institutional Area, Sector – 26, Chandigarh In collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management (Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India) A-wing, 4th Floor, NDCC-II Building, Jai Singh Road, New Delhi – 110001 1 Online Training Programme on “Incident Response System (IRS): Basic & Intermediate” For Northern States (Part VII) hosted by Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration in collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India w.e.f. 6th – 8th January, 2021 from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM Background India is vulnerable to a variety of natural and anthropogenic disasters that hinder the country’s growth. Disaster response management requires the existing administrative set up, and all other stakeholders to carry out a large number of tasks. The activities involved in response management would depend on the nature and type of disaster. It has been observed that in times of disaster lack of coordination amongst various agencies exist. If the response is planned and the stakeholders are trained, there will be no scope for ad-hoc measures and the response will be smooth and effective. The objective of training on IRS is to pre-designate officers to perform various duties as well as train them in their respective roles. Realization of certain shortcomings in response and a desire to address the critical gaps led Government of India (GOI) to look at the world’s best practices and in this pursuit a decision was taken to closely look at the Incident Command System (ICS) developed by United States Forest Services (USFS) of United States of America (USA) which the High Powered Committee on disaster management constituted by the 2 Government of India also identified as one of the best global practices for disaster response. Government of India, with few modifications in ICS, adopted it as Incident Response System (IRS). After being identified as nodal institution for capacity building in the field of IRS, NIDM has been working closely with USFS and USAID for building capacity to have effective disaster response system in India. Meanwhile NDMA has also issued guidelines on IRS in 2010. Many state governments have started adopting IRS as a system for responding to any emergency striking their state and subsequently have notified IRS in their respective states. They have also started building their capacity in this field. About the Programme COVID-19 has put a huge challenge in training and capacity building. With social distancing, training during new normal situation would have different strategies that are truly effective for larger capacity building vision and agenda for effective COVID-19 response. Training at the time of pandemic is widely considered to be a powerful instrument for building the capacities of functionaries by enhancing and upgrading their knowledge, skills and competencies on a regular and periodic basis. In the situation of COVID-19, the response to natural hazards needs to be done more cautiously. The new normal situation would bring more challenges as response needs to be done in a structured manner to minimize the risk of infection. The IRS is a flexible system and all its Sections need not be activated in every situation at the same time. Only required sections may be made operational as and when required. This system envisages that the roles 3 and duties shall be laid down in advance, the personnel earmarked and trained in their respective roles and duties. The IRS incorporates all the duties that may be performed in case of any disaster or event. It envisages a complete team with various sections to attend to all possible requirements. If the IRS is put in place and stakeholders trained in their respective duties and roles, it will help reduce chaos and confusion during actual incident management and everyone involved will know what all needs to be done, who will do it, where the resources are and who is in command, etc. To develop capacity of the District authorities for building disaster response system, Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration, Punjab in collaboration with National Institute of Disaster Management, Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India has hosted/conducted an Online Training Programme on “Incident Response System: Basic & Intermediate” for Northern States (Part VII) w.e.f. 6th – 8th January, 2021 from 11 AM to 1 PM to develop capacity of the State and District Authorities for building Incident Response System.

Jha Indo-Nepal Human Trafficking Post Earthquake Perspective; Concerns and Challenges Compiled by Dinbandhu Vats Edited by Ajay K. Jha Copyleft August 2015 Cover picture & layout by Rajneesh Shrivastava Published by PAIRVI, G-30, First Floor, Lajpat Nagar-III, New delhi - 110024 Contact: 011-29841266, 65151897 | email: [email protected] website: www.pairvi.org s Nepal begins to recover from its deadliest disaster, the Acountry’s youngest survivors are now at a higher risk for another calamity of getting sold into the human trafficking trade. The two earthquakes that rocked Nepal on April 25 and May 12, 2015 killed over 8,500 people and caused extensive loss to swathes of countryside in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Bengal that borders Nepal.1 According to the Nepal government, the tiny Himalayan country stares at losses estimated at about 10 billion US dollar— nearly half of its gross domestic product of 19.64 billion US dollar.2 The United Nations estimates that 2.8 million people have been displaced after the earthquake and its aftershocks flattened their homes.3 Women have been disproportionately affected by disasters and the social breakdown that accompanies calamities has made them vulnerable to sexual abuse. Children need more than just material and physical relief after such an event. Confronted with scenes of destruction and death, many children have developed post-traumatic stress disorder. Left untreated, they could be prone to lasting psychological damage and emotional distress. Human trafficking is reportedly rising post earthquake along the India-Nepal border and unsuspecting Nepalese minors are being sold in various big cities of India under the pretext of providing jobs.4 Traffickers often pose as recruiters, offering non- existent jobs to desperate young women and girls, whose plight has become worse after the earthquake.

  • Mountain Policing'
    Random Thoughts Revisiting 'Mountain Policing' R. S. Tolia* Dantewada ambush of CRPF jawans has triggered off a chain reaction of media discussion and reporting which tends to encompass a whole range of issues; absence of inclusion of predominantly tribal regions into the so-called mainstream of national development on the one end, to an early end to the age old-revenue police system of Uttarakhand, on the other. This discourse has been joined in by individuals who have precious little knowledge of local conditions, history of evolution of criminal justice systems in various erstwhile Presidencies during the British raj, comparative advantages or disadvantages of various policing systems that exist within Indian states or outside; as also by those who have in-depth knowledge of a police-magistracy system which the British arguably claimed as their very own special gift to the whole mankind ! This writer holds no brief for either side of this debate and believes that the jury is still out and all the issues involved in the current discourse deserve to be discussed extensively, dispassionately and openly within every State of the Union, especially taking in context the state specific situations, and not subsume these regional and state-specific issues into inane generalities, as essentially Police and Home are a state subject, under our Constitution. It is the States where the state specific issues deserve to be thrashed out and it is totally irrational to draw any parallel between an Andhra and a J&K, or a Chattisgarh and a Uttarakhand, as cheese cannot be compared, or for that matter mixed, with chalk.
