ANSWER

MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOME AFFAIRS (SHRI NITYANAND RAI)

(a) to (e): The allocation of State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) to the States is based on the recommendations of the successive Finance Commissions, set up  under  Article  280  of  the  Constitution,  from  time-to-time.      Further,  the disbursal  of  funds  from  SDRF  and  National  Disaster  Response  Fund  (NDRF)  is governed by the Guidelines and Items and Norms of assistance from SDRF and NDRF, which are framed in  consultation  with all  Stakeholders, including States

and which are available on Ministry of Home Affairs website at https://ndmindia.mha.gov.in/images/NDRFSDRF\_06042017.pdf and https://ndmindia.mha.gov.in/images/pdf/SDRF-NDRFNorms-dated8april2015.pdf, respectively.

The  primary  responsibility  for  disaster  management  rests  with  the  State Governments concerned.  The State Governments undertake relief measures in the wake of natural disasters from the SDRF, already placed at their disposal, in accordance with Government of India's approved items and norms.  In order to supplement the efforts of the State, additional financial assistance is extended from the NDRF, in case of disaster of 'severe nature', in  accordance with the established procedure.  The entire exercise requires adhering to the established procedure envisaged in the SDRF/ NDRF guidelines.

As  per  the  laid  down  procedure,  a  three  -  tier  system  is  followed  for calculation of the additional financial assistance from the NDRF.  Firstly, an onthe-spot  assessment  is  made  by  an  Inter-Ministerial  Central  Team  (IMCT), comprising  of  representatives  of  sectoral  Ministries/  Departments,  along  with the officials of the State concerned. The report of IMCT is then considered by the  Sub-Committee  of  National  Executive  Committee  (SC-NEC)  chaired  by  the Union   Home    Secretary     and   consisting    of   representatives    of    various

Ministries concerned. Subsequently, the recommendations  of  SC-NEC  are considered  and  approved  by  the  High  Level  Committee  (HLC)  chaired  by  the Hon'ble  Union  Home  Minister  and  consisting  of  the  Union  Finance  Minister, Union Agriculture  Minister  and  Vice-Chairman,  NITI  Aayog  as  Members.  Funds are released from the NDRF after approval of the HLC.

State-wise details of funds disbursed/ released under the NDRF in Financial Years 2018-19 to 2021-22 (as on 09.12.2021) are given at Annexure.
