## ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI KIREN RIJIJU)

(a) to (f): The  details  of  the  losses  due  to  natural  calamities    including heavy rains reported by the State Governments including Karnataka during the last three year and current year are at Annexure-I.

The  concerned  State  Governments  undertake  relief  activities  according  to the magnitude of the ground situation, in the wake of natural calamities from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) already placed at their disposal in accordance with Government of India approved items and norms without any discrimination.

With  regard  to  declaring  a  calamity  as  a  'National  Calamity,  it  is  informed that the existing guidelines of SDRF/ NDRF, do not contemplate declaring of a disaster  as  a  'National  Calamity/  Disaster'.    However,  for  calamity  of  a 'severe nature', additional assistance is further supplemented by Government of  India  from  National  Disaster  Response  Fund  (NDRF)  in  accordance  with the established procedure.

State-wise details of allocation and releases from SDRF and NDRF during the last three year and the current year are given in Annexure-II.

With regard to crop damaged from fire, it is to inform that the crop damaged due to fire already stands included as one of the eligible natural calamity for providing  assistance  from  SDRF/  NDRF  as  per  the  norms  applicable  in  the wake of other notified natural calamities.
