Natural disasters continue to strike without notice and are perceived to be on the increase in their magnitude, complexity, frequency and economic impact. Worldwide, 90% of the natural disasters and 95% of the total disaster-related deaths occur only in the developing countries. In these countries, the problems of disaster management are unique due to the seemingly competing needs between the basic necessities for people and economic progress. The National Disaster Management Act which was enacted in November 2005, has brought about a paradigm shift in India's approach to Disaster Management. The centre of gravity stands visibly shifted to the preparedness, prevention and planning from the earlier response and relief-centric approach. Such holistic approach needs not only the institutional mechanism for better coordination among various sectors but also strengthening of the Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) efforts more efficiently. It is vital to build a robust and sound information database based on knowledge- sharing, information dissemination and public awareness. Proper knowledge about the details of stakeholders/role-players along with their specialization greatly helps in facilitating the co-ordination etc. In the above context, NIDM has taken the responsibility of developing a database of all knowledge-based institutions/resource-persons and provide them a platform for sharing their experiences and activities to cater to this mandate. The present document is an effort to develop a resource that can be extensively used by all concerned in the field of disaster management. I congratulate NIDM and acknowledge its contribution in this endeavour. I hope this revised version of directory will help in promoting the collaboration among different stakeholders in disaster management and thus, mitigating the disaster risks. Sneh Lata Kumar NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT (Ministry of Home Affairs, Govt. of India) 5B - I.P. Estate Mahatma Gandhi Marg, New Delhi-110002 (India) Towards a disaster free India Dr. Satendra, (IFS) Executive Director PREFACE A well-considered strategy and flexible mechanisms are necessary in order to make disaster risk mitigation and management a reality. This calls for a concerted effort on the part of several sectors, including national and state governments, activists, NGOs, etc. In fact the present approach towards the risk assessment of any disaster is not adequate due to various reasons, one of which, of course, is lack of proper coordination among various stakeholders. The Government of India has taken number of initiatives in order to strengthen coordination among different stakeholders at all levels of governance of the country and networking of knowledge based institutions. Under the Disaster Management Act 2005, NIDM has nodal responsibilities for human resource development, capacity building, training, research, documentation, networking among various stakeholders and policy advocacy in the field of disaster management. Both as a National Centre and then as the National Institute, the Institute has performed a crucial role in bringing disaster risk reduction to the forefront of the national agenda. It is our belief that disaster risk reduction is possible only through promotion of a "Culture of Prevention" involving all stakeholders. To achieve this, we work through strategic partnerships with various ministries and departments of the central, state and local governments, academics, research and technical organizations in India and abroad. NIDM in its bit to promote coordination among different stakeholders and role players developed a "Directory of Institutions and Resource Persons in Disaster Management", that can be extensively used by all possible users besides knowledge based institutions, to share their expertise, achievements and knowledge in the field of disaster management. I am thankful to Dr. A.D. Kaushik, Mr. R.P. Sharma and Ms. Megha Kohli, for their sincere efforts to compile the information. The efforts made by Dr. Surya Prakash, Mr. S.K. Tiwari and Ms. Vidhi Awasthi are also highly appreciated. This is the second edition of the directory and special care has been taken to make the information provided as authentic as possible. Any omission from the list is not intentional. NIDM is looking forward for receiving comments and suggestions for further improvement of the Directory. NIDM's vision is to create a Disaster Resilient India by building the capacity at all levels for disaster mitigation and preparedness. I hope that disaster managers would find this document useful and utilize it to promote collaborative efforts in reducing the disaster risk in the country.
