The Indian Army will train 600 civil defence master trainers who will prepare 60,000 volunteers across 12 states and Union Territories. The programme aims to strengthen civilian emergency response capacity at the local level.
Whether you live in a flood-prone town or a dense city, trained civil defence volunteers affect how fast help arrives after a disaster near you.
Track the Ministry of Home Affairs for the final list of 12 states and UTs and training start dates.
