This has been a wonderfully productive year as CPR faculty continued Ito make important, award-winning contributions to the policy research landscape through field-defining books and a steady stream of peer- reviewed journal articles. These contributions are now the starting point of policy and public debate on issues as wide ranging as international relations, climate change and energy, domestic politics and public service delivery. This year we are especially proud of Lavanya Rajamani whose co-authored book titled, International Climate Change Law received the 2018 american Society of International law Certificate of Merit in a Specialised Area of International Law. CPR has a long tradition of drawing on its research to engage in the everyday life of policy making in India, shaping ideas, offering expertise and seeking to find answers to difficult policy conundrums in partnership with policymakers. In fulfilling this role, Cpr faculty have, over this year, served on as many as 20 different government committees, task forces, and technical support units. these include the Ministry of environment, Forest and Climate Change’s (MoeFCC) advisory committee on a long term Strategy for low Carbon Development; the expert committee on renewable energy act under the Ministry of new and renewable energy (Mnre); the NITI Aayog’s Committee for national strategy on Rare Earths; the curriculum advisory committee at the National University of Educational Planning and administration (NUEPA) to develop the curriculum for programmes on education; and the Working Group for the National Sample Survey 76th Round on Disability, Drinking Water, Sanitation, Hygiene and Housing Condition by the National Statistical Commission.

It will play a significant role to address the unexpected disasters that occur in the district effectively .The information available in DDMP is valuable in terms of its use during disaster. Based on the history of various disasters that occur in the district ,the plan has been so designed as an action plan rather than a resource book .Utmost attention has been paid to make it handy, precise rather than bulky one. This plan has been prepared which is based on the guidelines provided by the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM)While preparing this plan ,most of the issues ,relevant to crisis management ,have been carefully dealt with. During the time of disaster there will be a delay before outside help arrives. At first, self help is essential and depends on a prepared community which is alert and informed .Efforts have been made to collect and develop this plan to make it more applicable and effective to handle any type of disaster. The DDMP developed involves some significant issues like Incident Command System (ICS), India Disaster Resource Network (IDRN)website, the service of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in disaster management .In fact ,the response mechanism ,an important part of the plan is designed with the ICS, a best model of crisis management has been included in the response part for the first time. It has been the most significant tool to the response manager to deal with the crisis within the limited period and to make optimum use of the available resources.
