What measures are in place for disaster relief funding allocation in India

1. The National Disaster Response Fund (NDRF) is the primary mechanism for releasing disaster relief funds in India. 2. The funds are allocated based on the recommendations of the central government's High-Level Committee (HLC) chaired by the Home Secretary. 3. The HLC assesses the magnitude of the disaster, the response required, and the funds needed by the affected state. 4. Once the HLC approves the release of funds, the money is directly transferred to the State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) of the affected state. 5. The SDRF utilizes these funds for immediate relief, rescue operations, and rehabilitation efforts in the affected areas. 6. In cases of severe calamities, additional assistance may be provided from the Prime Minister's National Relief Fund (PMNRF) or other central schemes.
