## ANSWER

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

(a): 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 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 financial assistance provided under SDRF and NDRF is by way of relief and not for compensation of loss suffered/claimed. The details of funds sought by States Government for any calamity and release from National Disaster Relief Fund (NDRF) during the years from 2014-15 to 2024-25 are at Annexure.

(b) to (c): In order to expedite the assessment and release of additional financial  assistance  to  States,  Government  of  India  took  a  significant decision on 19.08.2019 to depute IMCT immediately in the aftermath of any  natural  calamity  of  severe  nature,  and  without  waiting  for  the memorandum from the State Government. Based on the report received from  the  team,  further  action  is  taken  according  to  the  established procedure.
