NDRF TRAINING

Training plays an essential role in enhancing the efficiency and expertise of the

responders. NDRF personnel undergo variety of training where emphasis is given on gaining

basic knowledge of the disaster response to refreshing the skill acquired as well as to raise the

expertise level to cope up with the technological advancements in the field of disaster

management in the world. Continuous training is imperative for maintaining our skills as per the

international standards. It is the rigours of training that bring out the best in each responder’s

skills. It also helps responders to shape their attitude for extremely difficult and treacherous

circumstances in disaster situations. Training is not only confined to gaining knowledge and

experience oneself, rather it also includes sharing the same knowledge with other

stakeholders, including the public, by various methods like conducting community awareness

programme, organising Lectures, demonstrations and mock exercises; so as to enable them to

be self empowered in managing their own disaster response mechanisms and become the first

responders in right earnest.
