India faces many natural hazards, including floods, cyclones, drought etc. But every hazard need not turn into a disaster. By careful planning, capacity building, early warning, community participation, procurement and pre-positioning of necessary equipment and resources, participation of civil society, assigning clear role to the private sector, involving panchayati raj institutions and urban local bodies, rigorous enforcement of techno-legal regime on land use and building regulations etc., significant reductions of losses can be brought about in such events. We have a national policy on disaster management, at http://ndmindia.nic.in/NPDM-101209.pdf

We have created a number of institutions by way of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, which may be seen at http://ndmindia.nic.in/acts-rules/DisasterManagementAct2005.pdf

What more can be done to enhance our preparedness to handle natural disasters?

Flood is the great concern here at Lakhimpur District. And the main cause of the flood in the area is high accumulation of silt in the rivers. Lot of people suffer on this account. If de-silting or interconnection of the main rivers is done then occurrence of flood may be controlled.

as Mr. Mishra beign Health Minister in MP last year had shown his grief for falling sex ratio in the state, we as people of india looking forward to government's focus on implementing policies which could monitor the ways we can achieve the india we have in our dreams. Dowry and sonography both are responsible and these evils need to tackled by social education and legal mechanism.

I would like to share some shocking revealation by people in our parental town (barh, Patna). A woman told that during all three pregnancy, she went for ultrasound (sonography) in 4th month or pregnancy and the sonographer indicated the about sex of child by saying POSITIVE when it was a boy. She also told that as suggested by sonographer the sex of child was really what he suggested . This is unfortunate and the BETI BACHAO BETI PADHAO can only be successful if some strict laws could back it

We should form a NATO link alliance with friendly neighboring countries and broader Asian countries as a counter to China and Pakistan. The purpose will be to support democracy, development, military support, active military engagement to protect territorial integrity when countered with aggression by non-alliance states, resolving disputes within member states etc. This will give a better forum and immediate stature instead f indefinitely waiting for Security council membership and VETO powers.

Good Governance & effective implementation of guidelines prescribed under Urban Development can be the foremost deterrent which is the basic step towards the stronger buildings. The shock proof buildings must be monitored regularly at the urban level. The next basic steps can be the Schools, where students are the most vulnerable to damages. there must be a regular curriculum in the schools about the very basic steps they need to do without panicking. Minimizing the 1st impact is half job done
