## ANSWER

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

(a) to (d): As per the National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM), the primary  responsibility  for  disaster  management,  including  disbursal  of relief  assistance  on  ground  level,  rests  with  the  State  Governments concerned.  The  State  Governments  undertake  relief  measures  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.  The Central Government supplements

the efforts of the State Governments and provides requisite logistics and financial support. Additional financial assistance is provided from National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF), as per laid down procedure, in case of disaster of 'severe nature', which includes an assessment based on the visit of an Inter-Ministerial Central Team (IMCT).The details of the funds allocated and released under SDRF/NDRF to the States are available on Disaster Management, MHA's website i.e. ndmindia.mha.gov.in.

This  Ministry  does  not  centrally  maintain  data  regarding  the  number  of natural disasters reported in the country. However,  the  details of damages  reported  by  States/UTs  due  to  hydro-meteorological  disasters during the years 2020-21 to 2024-25 are provided at Annexure-I. Further, the details of calamity-wise funds approved and released by the Government of India under the NDRF during the last five years, i.e., 202021 to 2024-25, are given at Annexure-II.
