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

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
We hope you liked the information provided about

Yojana Article Summary for UPSC 2018
VisionIAS
09:40
Social Issues and schemes are a very important part
of the NABARD 2018 Exam and UPSC Civil
services 2018 syllabus for Prelims as well as Mains. As most of you
know that one of the best to cover Social issues and related government schemes
is Yojana Magazine. The Yojana Articles are one stop shop for the subject.
Therefore, we bring to you ‘Yojana Magazine
Article Summary’. The summary would be of selected articles which would
be important for the UPSC civil services exam 2018. This post is brought to you
by Oliveboard, an online exam preparation platform for
government and banking exams.
Placing Health Care at the Centre Stage
Govt has started giving more focus on Health Sector
in last couple of Budgets.
In 2017 Budget, National Rural Health Mission(NRHM)
and RashtryaSwasthaBima Yojana(RSBY) were announced.
In 2018 Budget speech, the Finance Minister
launched a flagship Health sector scheme called as “Ayushaman Bharat” which is
like an upgrade of the 2 above mentioned schemes put together.
Ayushaman Bharat has 2 components – Comprehensive
Primary Health Care(CPHC) and National Health Protection Scheme(NHPS).
Under Comprehensive Primary Health Care scheme, a
proposal to transform 1,50,000 health sub-centres into Health and Wellness
Centres (HWCs).
NHPS assures 10 crore poor and vulnerable families
of financial coverage, up to ₹5,00,000 per annum for hospitalization costs of
secondary and tertiary care.
Govt has announced 24 new medical colleges,
attached upgraded district hospitals, envisaging one medical college for every
3 parliamentary constituencies.
Suggestions for Comprehensive Primary
Health Care (CPHC)
· It
should become a vehicle for comprehensive, continues health care, as envisioned
in the National Health Mission (NHM) mentioned in National Health Policy (NHP)
of 2017.
· Expansion
of Primary care services to non-communicable diseases and mental health
disorders, thus aiming to make NHM a unifying platform for all health services.
· Expanding
coverage of Primary care by giving long term care and efficient follow up for
Chronic diseases/conditions like hypertension and mental health disorders at
primary care level and allowing its linkage with secondary and tertiary care
level.
· Community
Outreach through HWC’s will strengthen health promotion and disease prevention.
· With
the help if IT, HWC’s can generate real time data for dis-aggregated estimates
and monitoring of various health indicators.
· Govt
should promote judicious use of telemedicine and mobile phone technologies to
improve health care delivery in the remotes corners o the nation.
· Along
with HWC, CPHC should be extended to primary and community health centers as
well.
· Need
to create mid-level healthcare providers like Nurse practitioners and community
health assistants.
· Placing
AYUSH practitioners in HWCs
Challenges for CPHC
· Insufficient
budgetary allocation for National Health Mission – reduced by 2.1% from the
revised estimate of 2017.
· Ignorance
of Urban Health Component of NHM in the Budget – Due increased rural to urban
migration, Urban health needs to focus upon more than ever.
· Shortage
of Human resource for HWCs.
Suggestions for National Health
Protection Scheme (NHPS)
· Without
effective Primary Health care, the budget of NHPS might go out of hand. Hence,
an effective Primary Healthcare should be the focus.
· The
choice of diseases, tests and treatment to be covered should be done very
carefully, along with adoption of evidence based standard clinical management
guidelines, setting of cost and quality standards and measurement of health
outcomes.
· Developing
if Fraud detection and grievance redressal is also required.
· Insurance
Literacy – public awareness about the insurance scheme, i.e. NHPS, needs to be
promoted for appropriate utilization.
· The
remaining section (other than poor and vulnerable) should also be allowed to
participate in the scheme on payment of a premium. This would increase the risk
pool, required to keep the premiums down.
