Q.1
Q.1: Answer the following in not more than two sentences
20 Marks - 2 marks each
(a)Name the Central Act for Disaster Management in India.[2]
Answer
The Central Act for disaster management in India is the Disaster Management Act, 2005 (53 of 2005). It is "an Act to provide for the effective management of disasters and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto".
Its key facts.
- Enactment and commencement. It received assent on 23 December 2005. Its provisions were brought into force in stages, the first on 28 July 2006, when the National Disaster Management Authority sections began.
- Its structure. It sets up the National Disaster Management Authority under the Prime Minister (section 3). State Authorities work under the Chief Ministers (section 14), and District Authorities under the Collectors (section 25). Each prepares a disaster management plan (sections 11, 23, 31).
- Its reach. "Disaster" covers any catastrophe "arising from natural or man made causes, or by accident or negligence" that is "beyond the coping capacity of the community" (section 2(d)). In Gaurav Kumar Bansal v. Union of India, decided on 30 June 2021, the Supreme Court held that the COVID-19 pandemic "is a disaster within the meaning of Section 2(d)".
- Recent changes. The Disaster Management (Amendment) Act, 2025 came into force on 9 April 2025. It added the National Crisis Management Committee (section 8A) and Urban Disaster Management Authorities (section 41A). From 15 May 2026 the Jan Vishwas Act lowered the penalties in sections 51 to 53.
