The global challenges faced by India in the field of disaster management are immense in magnitude and complexity. The current state of disaster management in India is plagued by various challenges such as:

• There is a lack of technical expertise and knowledge regarding disaster management among the general public and administrative machinery.
• The country faces a shortage of equipment, resources, and trained personnel for disaster management.
• India is prone to recurring natural disasters such as floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and landslides, and addressing these challenges requires significant planning and preparations.
• The process of coordination and collaboration between different government agencies, relief organizations, and non-governmental organizations is often inefficient, leading to delays in mitigation measures.
• India has a rapidly growing population, and urbanization has led to environmental degradation, making the country vulnerable to both natural and human-made disasters.
• Climate change has increased the frequency and intensity of natural disasters, making the situation more challenging for the country to combat.

This combination of factors and challenges is a daunting task for India to take on as a global role player in disaster management.
