Some rehabilitation operations have been initiated in two districts and plans for several other areas are underway. As a part of the ongoing Disaster Preparedness Program associated with the rehabilitation efforts, the LWS-India is also supporting activities to improve on the capability to cope with such calamities at the community and family level. Participatory Rural Appraisal exercises have been conducted with the aim to identify areas and population groups that face the greatest risk during calamities. Other activities include socio-legal counseling for the traumatized. Children are returning to school, even if the school buildings remain damaged.
Economic activities are generally few because of the devastation, but they are gradually increasing.
The Law Commission of India has prepared a series of amendments to the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act of 1976 on the instructions of the government. The National Law Commission drafts proposed legislation for the government. The commission, headed by retired Supreme Court judge B.P. Jeevan Reddy, is expected to submit its report soon as the tenure of the current members expires on August 31. Commissioners also have proposed amendments to the Citizenship Act and the Foreigners Act to control terrorist activities and foreign Christian missionaries in the country. Under the proposed amendments, organizations receiving foreign funds would have to specify how they used the money, said an official in the Law Ministry.
