Which is the apex body of Disaster Management in India ?
Answer: A
The apex body is the NDMA, the National Disaster Management Authority.
The Disaster Management Act, 2005 set up the NDMA, chaired by the Prime Minister, to lay down policies, plans and guidelines for disaster management in India and to coordinate their enforcement. State and District Disaster Management Authorities work under its guidelines.
The other bodies are technical agencies. The IMD (India Meteorological Department) issues weather and cyclone warnings, the GSI (Geological Survey of India) studies geology and landslides, and NIOT (National Institute of Ocean Technology) develops ocean technology. None of them heads disaster management.
