Question

What values do we need to inculcate among youth to ensure awareness ,prevention.preparedness, mitigation and management of disasters?

Answer 1

Earlier, the super cyclone in Orissa in October 1999 and the Bhuj earthquake in Gujarat in January 2001 had already underscored the need to adopt a multi-dimensional endeavour involving diverse scientific, engineering, financial and social processes; the need to adopt multi-disciplinary and multi-sectoral approach and incorporation of risk reduction in the developmental plans and strategies. But as we grappled with the Kosi flooding in 2008, questions were again being asked about the level of understanding required to tackle disasters, natural or manmade, in India. And Mumbai raised a barrage of questions!
It is plain to see that disasters are also striking with increasing regularity and tenacity. Yet in most places, they are treated more as a disruption than a foreseeable obstacle to progress. Urgently needed is a change in approach. It is not enough to merely think of relief after a disaster strikes. Policy leaders, both national and local, must also anticipate and deal with them ahead of time.

Answer 2

although we do not need any separate subject for this but a small guidance could teach them as it is inbuilt...
