About the Program

At the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) under the Department of Home Affairs, the Government of India offers e-Learning courses for Disaster Risk Management in partnership with Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR), The World Bank, Washington.
