  • Shri Chandi Prasad Bhatt”
    BROCHURE Contextualizing Resilient Development in Himalayas: In conversation with “Shri Chandi Prasad Bhatt” Date: 23rd February 2021, Tuesday Time: 12:00- 1:30 pm Attendees Link: Organized by National Institute of Disaster Management Ministry of Home Affairs Govt of India Concept Note Over the recent years, the Himalayan ecosystems have been severely affected by climate change and anthropogenic activities. The communities living in the remote mountain areas face greater challenge for survival. Uncertainties in the availability of water, fuel, energy, fodder etc. also affect the quality of life and livelihoods of the people living in the region. Uttarakhand is one such state that has been badly affected by the disasters in the past and also recently. The disastrous flooding in summer, also called as the “Himalyan Tsunami” of 2013 which claimed more than 6000 lives was a result of climate change and poorly planned development. The glacial meting due to rising temperatures and continued development in the region with an unpredictability has become a major concern. Recently, the Uttarakhand flood disaster that began on 7th February 2021 in the environs of the Nanda Devi National Park was believed to be a result of the landslide, an avalanche or a glacial lake outburst flood. The satellite imageries imply that a landslide may have triggered the event. It caused flooding in Chamoli district. About 58 people were confirmed killed and more than 150 went missing. In this context, it is imperative to ensure resilient development of the region. Little can be done to prevent such kind of flash floods, however, their frequency and destruction cause can still be minimized by using technology.
