UPSC 2018 Notes: Disaster Management | Environment
VisionIAS
13:34
Disaster Management under Environment is one of the
important topics for UPSC Civil Services preparation. Questions have been asked
in every year’s UPSC Prelims exam on Disaster Management. Therefore, we bring
to you Disaster Management Notes on NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN. This
post is brought to you by Oliveboard, an online exam preparation platform for
government and banking exams.
NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN –
HISTORY
The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) was
released in 2016.
The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) is
prepared by the National Disaster Management Authority.
National Disaster Management Authority, abbreviated
as NDMA is an agency of the Ministry of Home Affairs whose primary purpose is
to coordinate response to natural or man-made disasters and for
capacity-building in disaster resiliency and crisis response in India. NDMA was
established through the Disaster Management Act enacted by the Government of
India on May 30, 2005.
The National Disaster Management Plan of India
provides a framework and direction to thegovernment agencies for all phases of
disaster management cycle –
a) mitigation (prevention and risk reduction)
b) preparedness
c) response
d) recovery.
The NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (NDMP) is a
“dynamic document” in the sense that it will be periodically improved keeping
up with the emerging global best practices and knowledge base in disaster
management.
The NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (NDMP) is
based on the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030.
Sendai Framework is a non-binding agreement, which
the signatory nations will attempt to comply with on a voluntary basis
The four priorities for action under the Sendai
Framework are:
1. Understanding disaster risk
2. Strengthening disaster risk governance to manage
disaster risk
3. Investing in disaster risk reduction for resilience
4. Enhancing disaster preparedness for effective
response and to “Build Back Better” in recovery, rehabilitation and
reconstruction
NATIONAL DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
(NDMP) Vision
Make India disaster resilient, achieve substantial
disaster risk reduction, and significantly decrease the losses of life,
livelihoods, and assets – economic, physical, social, cultural, and
environmental – by maximizing the ability to cope with disasters at all levels
of administration as well as among communities
For each hazard, the approach used in this national
plan incorporates the four priorities given in the Sendai Framework into the
planning framework for Disaster Risk Reduction under the five Thematic Areas
for Actions:
· Understanding
Risk
· Inter-Agency
Coordination
· Investing
in DRR – Structural Measures
· Investing
in DRR – Non-Structural Measures
· Capacity
Development
Major Highlights of the National
Disaster Management Plan
· All
phases of disaster management: Prevention, Mitigation, Response and Recovery
have been extensively covered in the plan.
· The
Plan also covers Man-made disasters in India like Chemical, nuclear, etc
· It
gives clear framework about Planning. It covers Short-term (5 years), Medium
Term (10 years) and Long-term (15 years) to deal with all kinds of disasters
happening in India.
· The
Plan has adopted a very Integrative Approach – horizontal and vertical
integration among all the agencies and departments of the Government have been
specified in the Plan.
· The
Role Clarity shown in the Plan is excellent – roles and responsibilities of all
levels of Government of India right up to Panchayat and Urban local body level
in a matrix format.
· Different
types of Disasters have been assigned to specific Ministries of Government of
India. For e.g., Ministry of Earth Sciences is responsible for Cyclones
· The
Regional approach adopted in the Plan will be beneficial for disaster
management as well as Developmental planning of India
· The
Implementing of the Plan will be done in a scalable manner through all phases
of Disaster Management
· The
Plan has covered the response phase of disaster management in a wholesome manner by identifying 18
broad activities which have been arranged into a matrix to be served as a ready
reckoner across India:
o Early Warning, Maps, Satellite
inputs, Information Dissemination
o Evacuation of People and Animals
o Search and Rescue of People and
Animals
o Medical Care
o Drinking Water/ Dewatering Pumps/
Sanitation Facilities/ Public Health
o Food & Essential Supplies
o Communication
o Housing and Temporary Shelters
o Power
o Fuel

Management
o Disposal of Animal Carcasses
o Fodder for livestock in scarcity-hit
areas
o Rehabilitation and Ensuring Safety of
Livestock and other Animals, Veterinary Care
o Data Collection and Management
o Relief Employment
o Media Relations
· A
generalised framework for recovery and flexibility to assess a situation and
build back better have been provided in the Plan as well.
· It
emphasises on a greater need for Information, Education and Communication
activities to prepare communities to cope with disasters.
· The
plan aims that the media should respect the dignity and privacy of affected
people. Hence it calls for self-regulation by media.
· To
stop rumours and spread of panic, the plan directs the authorities to schedule
regular media briefing (depending on the severity of the disaster) and
designate a nodal officer for interacting with the media on behalf of the
government

UPSC 2018 Study Notes: Judiciary V/S Executive
vision cse
05:24
This post is brought to you by Oliveboard, an online exam preparation platform
for government and banking exams.
The Supreme court judgement on the SC/ST act and
the subsequent review petition file by the govt on it has again brought forward
the tug of war between the Executive and the Judiciary. Therefore, it is right
time to go through the history of this contest and the various amendments and
judgements related to this matter. Also, Polity is an important component of
the GS paper of UPSC Civil services prelims, as for the last 7 years the
average weightage for polity questions is 15 marks and last year it was 22
marks making one of the make or break subjects for IAS Preparation.
Round 1
The issue starts right at the start of independent
India, when the Govt was carrying out Redistribution of land to implement the
socialistic principles envisioned in the constitution. Subsequently this move
was challenged in the court of Law based on Article 13 – Laws
inconsistent with or in derogation of the fundamental rights as
then Right to Property was a Fundamental right under Article 31. {this
was repelled by 44th amendment – 1978} and the
courts were giving decisions against the government.
The Govt therefore introduced the First Amendment
bill which added the 9th schedule to the constitution and all
the property related laws were put in this schedule. (please read other
provisions of this amendment as well from “Indian Polity by LAXMIKANT”,
this is important for IAS Preparation)
9th Schedule – Laws put under this
schedule cannot be challenged in the court of law.
The Supreme upheld this amendment in the Shankari
prasad (1953) and Sajjan Singh (1965) judgements.
Round 2
Golaknath Case (1967) – In the face of the 1953
Punjab Security and Land. Tenures Act, the state government held that the
brothers could keep only thirty acres each, a few acres would go to tenants and
the rest was declared ‘surplus’. This was challenged by the Golak Nath family
in the courts on the grounds of Article 14 and article 19 (f) and (g) –
Equality) and the case was referred to the Supreme Court. The question raised
was whether an amendment should be considered as a law as defined under article
13 of the constitution.
The SC decided that Amendment is a law, and all
laws can be reviewed by the court. The Judgement stated that Parliament cannot
amend the Fundamental Rights.
The Govt’s response to the Golaknath case was 24th and
25th amendment to the constitution. (Art 13 and 368)
24th amendment – 1) Parliament can
amend any part of the constitution including Fundamental rights.
2) Amendment is not a law
3)Compulsory for President to give his assent to
constitution amendment bill.
25th Amendment – 1) Curtailed the
Right to property by stating that laws relating to property cannot be
challenged n the grounds of Equality.
2) Provided that any Law made to give effect to
Directive Principles contained in article 39 (b) or (c) cannot be challenged on
the grounds of violation of rights guaranteed under article 14, 19 and 31.
Round 3
Kesavanand Bharti Case – In this case, Swami HH
Kesavanand Bharati challenged Kerala govt attempts to impose restriction on his
property under article 26 – Right to manage Religiously owned property without
Government Interference. This case also challenged the 24th, 25th and
29th Amendments passed by the Govt.
The Court Ruled that the 3 amendments challenged
were valid and confirmed that the Govt has the power to amend any part of the
Constitution including FR, as long as it does not alter the Basic Structure of
the constitution. Hence a new Concept the Basic Structure Doctrine was
introduced by the SC to curtail the amending powers of the Parliament.
Basic Structure has not been defined by the SC,
however it is based on the principles given in the Preamble. Over the years, SC
has confirmed the following as the part of the Basic Structure of the
constitution –
1. Judicial Review
2. Republic
3. Secular nature of the state
4. Article 14 and 19 of the constitution
5. Supremacy of the constitution
6. Welfare State
7. Free and Fair Elections
8. Unity and Integrity of the Nation
9. Parliamentary system
10. Separation of Powers. Etc.
The Basic Structure Doctrine was first used on the
Raj Narain v/s Indira Gandhi Case, where SC struck down the 29th Amendment
claiming, it prohibited Judicial Review which is a part of the Basic structure
of the Constitution.
Round 4
Govt passed the 42nd Amendment
which gave superior powers to the Parliament to amend the constitution. It
altered the Amending procedure and Scope.
SC Struck Down the 42nd Amendment
on the grounds that a Limited Amending Power itself is a part of Basic
Structure of the Constitution in the Minerva Mills Judgement 1980.
The Current situation is Govt can amend any part of
the constitution, provided it does not affect the Basic Structure of the
Constitution, which is to be Decided by the SC.
The last major chapter in the above war was 99th Amendment,
which established NJAC (National Judicial Appointments Commission) to replace
the collegium system. The Supreme struck Down the amendment, stating it
violated the Separation of Power’s principle (Executive Overreach) and
Independence of Judiciary.
We hope this post was useful for your IAS Preparation.
All the Best.
