Amit Shah: NDRF Jawans Win Hearts Worldwide with Valor

Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s speech at the NDRF President’s Colours event in Ghaziabad resonated with pride for the force’s global footprint. ‘NDRF jawans have won hearts and trust everywhere they’ve gone, domestically and internationally,’ Shah affirmed, lauding their exemplary conduct.

This accolade recognizes the NDRF’s enduring qualities of sacrifice and heroism over two decades, with NDMA’s support placing India at the forefront of international rescue efforts. Shah called it a pinnacle of pride, especially in his capacity as Home Minister, as NDRF’s arrival signals hope amid calamities.

He congratulated CAPF ranks for their eco-initiative of planting over 70 million saplings pre-monsoon, showcasing humanity and green consciousness. PM Modi’s era enables zero-casualty pursuits for foreseen disasters, leveraging weather intel for protection.

Drawing from PM Modi’s impetus, India’s CDRI leadership unites 48 countries in resilient infrastructure. As a global frontrunner and rapid responder, India practices ‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ on ground. The transformative 10-point framework enhances risk assessment, alerts, community involvement, and protocols, evolving from relief-centric to prevention-focused models.

NDRF’s training prowess shines: 8,500+ internal trainees, 10,000+ civil defenders, 220,000+ volunteers, and 10,500+ boat handlers in two years. Heatwave countermeasures by the Home Ministry target zero losses ahead. Extending compassion to animals in rescues, NDRF epitomizes service, targeting nil fatalities and minimal damage.
