India’s Disaster Response: Centralisation Concerns and the Road Ahead

Source: TH

Subject:  Disaster Management

Context: The Wayanad landslides (Kerala, 2024) and the Centre–State mismatch in relief have raised concerns that disaster funds are becoming more centralised and conditional.

About India’s Disaster Response: Centralisation Concerns and the Road Ahead

What Is India’s Disaster Response?

• It is a national, multi-level system created under the Disaster Management Act, 2005 to manage prevention, preparedness, response, relief, and recovery.
• It brings together Union, State, district, local bodies and specialised forces to reduce disaster risk and support affected communities.

Existing Disaster Response Models:

1. Relief-Centric Model (Traditional):
   • Historically focused on post-disaster relief and compensation, not on prevention or resilience.
   • States depended heavily on central grants after each major calamity.
2. Risk Reduction & Preparedness Model (Current Policy Direction): NPDM 2009 and NDMP 2016/2019 shift emphasis to prevention, mitigation and preparedness.
3. Institutional Multi-Tier Model:
   • NDMA leads at national level, with SDMAs and DDMAs implementing at State and district levels.
   • This creates vertical coordination from Delhi to Gram Panchayat.
4. Multi-Hazard Vulnerability Approach: Recognises that India faces earthquakes, floods, cyclones, landslides, droughts, industrial accidents, etc.
5. Sendai Framework–Aligned Model:
   • Aligns Indian policy with Sendai Framework 2015–2030 on risk reduction and resilience.
   • Stresses “build back better”, inclusive response and risk-informed development.

Successes So Far:

1. Robust Institutions (NDMA, NDRF, SDMAs, DDMAs): India now has a full legal–institutional chain from national to district level for disaster governance.
2. Reduced Cyclone Mortality: Odisha and Andhra Pradesh are often cited as global best practices for cyclone response.
3. Improved Forecast & Early Warning:
   • IMD now offers more accurate track and intensity forecasts for cyclones and extreme weather.
   • Use of satellites, Doppler radars and SMS alerts has strengthened last-mile communication.
4. Mock Drills & DMEx Culture: Large-scale exercises like Suraksha Chakra in Delhi-NCR test responses to major earthquakes.
5. Volunteer Involvement: Programs like Aapda Mitra train community volunteers for first response. Civil society and local NGOs are increasingly embedded in planning and drills.

Challenges Associated with India’s Disaster Response:

1. Centralisation & Fiscal Asymmetry:
   • Centre often releases much less than assessed losses, forcing States to borrow or cut other spending.
   • Negotiated, delayed NDRF support weakens trust in cooperative federalism.
2. Outdated Relief Norms & Inadequate Compensation: Fixed amounts for death and house damage do not match present-day costs of rebuilding.
3. Ambiguity and Discretion in ‘Severe Disaster’ Tag: “Severe” disaster is not clearly defined, enabling subjective decisions on NDRF eligibility.
4. Procedural Delays & Bureaucratic Layers: Relief depends on memorandums, central teams, high-level approvals and file movement. This delays fund release at a time when speed is most critical.
5. Weak Risk-Based Allocation Criteria: Finance Commission uses population and area rather than hazard maps and exposure indices. Vulnerability is approximated by poverty, not by scientific risk assessment.
6. Capacity and Implementation Gaps at Local Level: DDMA/ULB capacities in planning, GIS, and enforcement remain uneven across states.

Way Ahead:

1. Rules-Based, Trigger-Linked Financing:
   • Use objective indicators (rainfall thresholds, per capita loss, loss–GSDP ratio) to trigger aid.
   • This reduces political discretion and ensures predictable, timely relief.
2. Revise Norms & Expand Eligible Uses of Funds:
   • Periodically revise compensation norms to reflect real reconstruction costs.
   • Allow SDRF/NDRF to also support livelihood restoration and basic rebuilding, not just immediate relief.
3. Empower States, Districts and Local Bodies:
   • Give SDMAs and DDMAs greater operational control over funds and planning.
   • Strengthen ULBs and panchayats with training, EOCs and clear local response protocols.
4. Develop a National Disaster Vulnerability Index:
   • Combine hazard, exposure, population density, ecology and socio-economic vulnerability.
   • Use this index to prioritise funds and mitigation projects transparently.
5. Mainstream Risk Reduction into Development:
   • Enforce building codes, zoning laws, CRZ norms and floodplain regulation strictly.
   • Make all major infrastructure climate and disaster resilient by design.
6. Strengthen Cooperative Federalism & Trust:
   • Institutionalise Centre–State consultation on criteria, triggers and norms.
   • Keep Union’s role as supportive and rules-based, not ad hoc and discretionary.

Conclusion:

India has built a strong legal and institutional base for disaster management, but its financing and federal practices lag behind its ambitions. As climate shocks intensify, disaster response must shift from negotiated, discretionary relief to a transparent, rules-based partnership. Only then can India’s federal system protect both lives and the constitutional spirit of cooperative, resilient governance in times of crisis.

Educational Excellence Without Ethics

Source:  HT

Subject:   Role of Educational Institutions in Inculcating Values.

Context: A series of recent incidents—caste humiliation in elite services, violence by professionals, and ethical collapse in institutions—has renewed debate on the dangers of excellence without ethics.

About Educational Excellence Without Ethics:

Why Education Cannot Be Ethically Neutral?

• Education shapes power, not just skill: Professionals wield structural power, and without ethics their decisions can magnify injustice and harm.
• Knowledge without conscience is dangerous: Brilliant minds without moral grounding often justify cruelty or corruption as “efficiency.”

E.g.  The toxic corporate culture revealed after the EY Pune work-pressure death showed intellect without empathy.

• Values guide decisions under pressure: Only internal ethics—not rules—ensures integrity in ambiguous situations.

E.g.  The 2023 NEET paper leak network exposed how students used loopholes when values were absent.

Symptoms of Excellence Without Ethics in India:

• Toxic professional conduct: Educated individuals engage in caste humiliation, bullying and abuse of authority.

E.g.  Casteist harassment reported in elite institutes like IITs and medical colleges in 2023–24.

• Human beings reduced to instruments: People become file numbers or “targets” in systems prioritising output over humanity.

E.g.  Hospital complaints during COVID-19 where patients were treated as “beds” rather than humans.

• Rankings and meritocracy obsession: NIRF ranks, placements and JEE/NEET scores overshadow value-education and empathy.

E.g.  Coaching hubs openly advertise “AIR ranks” but offer zero socio-emotional learning.

• Academic dishonesty normalised: Cheating, proxy projects and plagiarism thrive when outcomes matter more than integrity.

E.g.  Mass cheating and manipulation allegations during NEET-UG 2024 exposed systemic ethical collapse.

• Insensitivity to inequality: Privileged students remain detached from rural hardship or labour distress.

E.g.  Urban students mocking migrant workers’ struggles during the 2020 lockdown became viral.

Why Ethical Education Matters Specifically for India?

• High inequality demands high empathy: A stratified society requires professionals who recognise dignity across caste, class and gender.

E.g.  Insensitive comments by a 2024 IAS trainee towards lower staff highlighted empathy gaps.

• India’s demographic dividend is fragile: Millions of skilled but ethically shallow youth can worsen corruption and polarisation.

E.g.  Frequent fintech scams engineered by highly educated youth show skill without integrity.

• Democracy relies on civic morality: Respect for dissent and diversity must be nurtured early to prevent intolerance.

E.g.  Campus clashes across universities in 2023–24 reflected inability to disagree peacefully.

• Rule of law needs ethical anchors: Fairness and humanity must guide administrators beyond procedural legality.

E.g.  The Puja Khedkar UPSC controversy (2024) showed intellectual merit without ethical restraint.

Key Challenges in Building Ethical Education:

• Exam-centric culture sidelines ethics: Boards and entrance exams dominate learning, making ethics seem irrelevant.

E.g.  Schools cutting moral science classes to extend JEE/NEET prep hours.

• Lack of trained ethics educators: Teachers rarely have tools for case-dialogue, value reasoning or socio-emotional learning.

E.g.  Most CBSE schools assign “value education” to untrained temporary staff.

• Fragmented implementation of NEP 2020: Strong intent exists, but no clear curriculum, pedagogy or assessments in ethics.

E.g.  Schools still rely on outdated “moral stories” instead of modern ethics modules.

• Campus cultures contradict ethics: Discrimination or patronage in institutions cancels out classroom ethics.

E.g.  Reports of caste bias and harassment at top institutions negate theoretical ethics lessons.

• Plural society complicates consensus: Fear of ideological controversy makes institutions dilute value education.

E.g.  Schools dropping discussion on gender or inequality to avoid parental backlash.

Way Forward – Putting Ethics Back at the Heart of Education

1. National framework for ethical education:
   • Develop a clear, secular, constitutional-values–based ethics curriculum for K-12 and higher education, with age-appropriate learning outcomes (empathy in early years, dilemmas and critical reasoning in higher classes).
2. Integration, not isolation:
   • Embed ethical questions and dilemmas into all subjects:
     • Science → environmental ethics, AI/biotech dilemmas
     • Economics & business → inequality, worker rights, sustainability
     • History & literature → justice, discrimination, courage, non-violence.
3. Teacher training & support:
   • Mandatory ethics and SEL training in B.Ed/M.Ed and faculty development; toolkits for case studies, role plays, reflective writing, classroom dialogue.
4. Campus culture as a “third teacher”:
   • Zero tolerance for bullying, discrimination and harassment; transparent grievance redress; student clubs on ethics, debate, social engagement; honour codes against cheating.
5. Experiential & community-based learning:
   • Structured field visits, community projects, rural/urban immersion, internships with NGOs and local governments to connect classroom learning with lived realities.

Conclusion:

India’s biggest risk today is not a lack of talent but a surplus of talent unmoored from conscience. If schools and universities keep chasing excellence without ethics, they will produce brilliant minds that may break the very society they are meant to build. Reimagining education as the formation of morally conscious, intellectually capable and socially just citizens is no longer a luxury; it is a survival imperative for the Republic.

Context: Prime Minister Narendra Modi unveiled a 77-feet bronze statue of Lord Rama at the Shree Samsthan Gokarn Partagali Jeevottam Math in Goa.

• He also visited Udupi evoked the legacy of Jagadguru Madhvacharya, linking Udupi’s spiritual heritage to India’s cultural unity.

About Madhvacharya:

Who He Was?

• Madhvacharya (13th century CE) was a renowned Indian philosopher, theologian and founder of the Dvaita (dualism) school of Vedanta. He is revered as a major Vaishnava acharya and is traditionally regarded as an incarnation of Vayu, the Wind God.

Birth and Early Life:

• Born as Vāsudeva in Pajaka village near Udupi, Karnataka (1199–1278 CE or 1238–1317 CE, dates debated).
• Exceptional physical strength and intellect—nicknamed Bhima.
• Took Sannyasa as a teenager, initiated by Achyutapreksha, receiving the names Purna Prajna and later Ananda Tirtha.

• Pancha-Bheda (Five Eternal Distinctions):

• • God – Soul
  • God – Matter
  • Soul – Matter
  • Soul – Soul
  • Matter – Matter

These differences are natural, eternal and real, rejecting monism.

• God:

• • Vishnu/Narayana is the supreme independent reality (Svatantra Tattva).
  • All souls and matter are dependent realities.

India Revised Earthquake Design Code, 2025

Source:  ET

Subject:  Geography

Context: India has released a radically updated seismic zonation map under the revised Earthquake Design Code (2025), placing the entire Himalayan arc in a newly created highest-risk Zone VI for the first time.

About India Revised Earthquake Design Code, 2025:

What is the Seismic Zonation Map?

• A seismic zonation map classifies different regions of India based on their earthquake hazard potential, helping determine how strong structures must be to withstand earthquakes.

Published by:

• The updated map is issued by the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) as part of the revised Earthquake Design Code, 2025 (IS 1893).
• It uses internationally accepted Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment (PSHA)

Key Features of the Revised Zonation Map:

1. Introduction of Highest-Risk Zone VI:

1. • Entire Himalayan arc (J&K–Ladakh to Arunachal) placed in Zone VI, the most hazardous zone, for the first time.
   • Recognises consistent, extreme tectonic stress along the Indian–Eurasian plate boundary.

2. 61% of India Now in Moderate to High Hazard Zones:

1. • A major jump from older estimates relying mainly on past epicentres.
   • Reflects scientific modelling of fault segments, locked sections, and rupture potential.

3. Boundary Towns Auto-Upgraded to Higher-Risk Zone:

1. • If a city lies on the border of two zones, it defaults to the higher-risk one.
   • Moves away from administrative lines to geological realities.

4. Inclusion of Rupture Propagation Southward:

1. • Acknowledges that Himalayan Frontal Thrust ruptures may extend south to populated foothill regions like Dehradun (near Mohand).

5. Mandatory Structural & Non-Structural Safety:

1. • New norms for anchoring parapets, ceilings, tanks, façades, HVAC units, etc., if their weight exceeds 1% of total load.
   • Buildings near active faults must withstand pulse-like ground motions typical of near-fault quakes.

6. New Soil & Ground-Response Requirements:

1. • Detailed provisions for liquefaction, soil flexibility, site-specific shaking spectra.
   • Encourages geotechnical investigations before major construction.

7. Exposure Mapping (PEMA Method):

1. • Incorporates population density, infrastructure concentration and socioeconomic vulnerability.
   • Integrates impact-based assessment with geological hazard.

Significance:

• Improved Earthquake Preparedness: Accurate hazard modelling ensures stronger building codes for at-risk regions, especially the Himalayas.
• Retrofitting Imperative: Old structures, especially in Himalayan towns, must be retrofitted, including schools, hospitals, and bridges.
• Uniformity Across the Himalayan Arc: Fixes decades of underestimation due to inconsistent older maps (Zones IV & V), despite identical tectonics.
