## ANSWER

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

(a) to (f): 15 th   Finance  Commission  in  its  report  made  recommendations pertaining to the disaster risk management, which had been accepted by the Central Government. The Commission adopted a new methodology for state-wise allocations, which replaces the expenditure driven methodology.   The   new   methodology   is   a   combination   of   capacity

(as reflected through past expenditure), risk exposure (area and population) and proneness to hazard and vulnerability (disaster risk index). Central Government has constituted the National Disaster Mitigation Fund (NDMF) on 05.02.2021. Central Government has also advised all the State Governments to set up State Disaster Mitigation Funds (SDMFs). So far, 25 States  have  intimated  setting  up  of  SDMF.  For  SDMF,  an  amount  of  Rs. 32,031  crore  has  been  allocated  for  the  period  2021-22  to  2025.  The details  regarding  Central  share  and  State  share  of  funds  allocated  and released from SDMF to various States is given in Annexure.

With regard to criteria of allocation/ release of SDMF, it is stated that the corpus of SDMF is contributed by the Government of India and the State Government in the ratio 75:25 for all States, except for the North-Eastern and  Himalayan  (NE&H)  States,  for  which  it  is  contributed  90:10.    The Central share of SDMF is to be released in two equal installments in time, subject to fulfillment of conditions of the guidelines.  Funds from the SDMF are  released  to  States  in  terms  of  the  guidelines/  procedures  prescribed for  mitigation  as  'measures  aimed  to  reducing  the  risk,  impact  of  a disaster or threatening disaster situation'.  Further, the disbursal of funds from SDMF is governed by the Guidelines of assistance from SDMF, 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.
