Sep 2026 · Global Journal of Management and Business Research · 0 citations · 1 references

Abstract

Disaster Management, a part of the Next Generation Administrative Reforms, focuses on mainstreaming disaster management in development plans and ensuring effective governance. This includes improving government structures and processes, promoting citizen-centric governance, and innovations in e-governance. We present in our paper the research on catastrophe resilience in India’s mountainous regions. We start by presenting the overall picture of India, displaying its multi-hazard map, and reviewing the categorization of disasters. Next, we address the susceptibility and vulnerability of mountainous regions to calamities. We then describe India’s disaster management policies, framework, and institutional mechanism. Two case studies of catastrophes in mountainous regions are then presented, based on two questionnaire-based surveys. By doing this, we provide light on the chosen process. The outcomes, their implications, and the overall resilience capability follow suit. Finally, we offer suggestions for the handling of disasters in the mountainous areas.
