National Policy approach on Capacity Building for Civil Defence
The National policy approach paper on Civil Defence advocates covering more than >1 % of country population under Capacity building and Community level preparedness. Proposal for, authorization of approximately 800 wardens per district is recommended which would amount to total number of 4,80,000 wardens in the country. Training of 25 volunteers each by these 4,80,000 wardens would mean bringing 1.20 crores Volunteers within the fold of Civil Defence in the next few years, a target (1% of population).
The Challenges:
Training services in civil defence needs continuous strengthening and expansion. To train these 4, 80,000 wardens (Master Trainers) in a given time‐frame, each of the states would, on an average, need to have Civil Defence training institutions with annual training capacity of 3,000 to 5,000 trainees. Institutions should have capacity to train variegated groups‐employees of Civil Defence, volunteers, youth organizations, office bearers of PRIs, urban local bodies and NGOs, etc.Civil defence in terms of capacity building need to have Bottom up approach
