Job Particulars
About Company
History of Department of Disaster Management: Learning through experience has taught mankind to evolve systems of irrigation, animal husbandry, distress relief, self defence, etc. Distress relief is inbuilt within person. Hence Kings and emperors lost no time during the ancient and medieval periods of the Indian history to strive for ameliorating the lots of their subjects suffering from want of food. There are references galore to show that rulers in all times till the advent of the British Rule, left no stone unturned to provide relief to the famine – stricken people of their kingdom. But whether the rulers of those periods did ever institute any commission for enquiring into the causes of famine and prepare any contingency plan for distress relief is not known. The Britishers, to cover up lapses of their bad governance, constituted four famine commissions and one Irrigation Commission between 1866 and 1900. A Famine Code was devised in 1883.
