## LS.US.Q.NO. 1515 FOR 11.02.2020

The Inter-Ministerial Central Teams (IMCT) visit disaster affected areas of the  States  from  time  to  time  in  consultation  with  the  State  Governments concerned, to assess the ground situation arising out of the different calamities including floods.  On the basis of the assessment made by IMCT and after the approval of High Level Committee, an amount of Rs. 4722.23 crore in 2017-18, Rs.  10000.00  crore  in  2018-19,  and  Rs.  14108.58  crore  in  2019-20  (as  on 29.01.2020) have been released from NDRF to various disaster affected States.

(c): Flood management schemes are formulated and implemented by concerned State Governments as per their priority. The Union Government supplements the efforts of the States by providing technical guidance and promotional financial assistance  for  management  of  floods  in  critical  areas.  Government  of  India launched  'Flood  Management  Programme  (FMP)'  during  XI  Plan  period  for providing  central  assistance  to  the  State  Governments  for  taking  up  works related to river management, flood control, anti-erosion, drainage development, flood proofing works, restoration of damaged flood management works and antisea erosion works which was continued during XII Plan. Subsequent to XII Plan a scheme viz. 'Flood Management and Border Areas Programme (FMBAP)' with an outlay of Rs.3342 crores is under implementation for the period 2017-18 to 201920.

## LS.US.Q.NO. 1515 FOR 11.02.2020

(d & e): As per the National Disaster Management  Policy, the primary responsibility  for  disaster  management  rests  with  the  States.  The  concerned State Government undertake assessment of damage and relief measures in the wake of natural disasters including flood, from the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) already placed at their disposal. When the available resources of States are  inadequate,  additional  financial  assistance  is  extended  from  the  National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) by following the laid down procedure. Information on compensation and institutional credit/rebates given to farmers of flood  affected  States  is  not  maintained  by  this  Ministry  centrally,  since  the execution  of  relief  activities  on  the  ground  is  the  responsibility  of  the  State concerned. State-wise details of  allocation  and  releases  from  SDRF  and  NDRF from the year 2017-18 to 2019-20 (as on 29.01.2020) are at Annexure.

(f): For  flood/landslide  of  2019,  the  Government  of  Karnataka  submitted memorandum  for  seeking  an  additional  assistance  of  Rs.  3894.57  crorefrom NDRF.  Based on the assessment made by IMCT in terms of items and norms for SDRF/NDRF, the High Level Committee (HLC) in its meeting held on 6 th   January, 2020 approved the assistance for Rs. 1869.85 crore from NDRF subject to adjustment of 50% of balance available as on 01.04.2019 in the SDRF
