In a significant move to strengthen disaster preparedness and drive governance reforms in Tripura, Chief Minister Manik Saha on Monday launched the State Disaster Management Plan and unveiled several initiatives by the Revenue Department. CM Saha expressed confidence that the state government would be well-equipped to handle any potential disaster effectively, reported ANI. 

The programme marked the official release of the State Disaster Management Plan (2024-25) and the inauguration of several pivotal initiatives under the Revenue Department.


Tripura CM Manik Saha said, "It can never be predicted when a disaster might strike. Last year in August there was flood and heavy rainfall. Prevention is better than cure. In such a scenario, the way a centre has been opened here, I think it is very good, especially for skill development, a centre has been opened to train volunteers... This is very good. If any disaster occurs, we will be able to deal with it effectively."



As reported by ANI, the event, attended by senior government officials, department heads, and dignitaries, highlighted the government’s proactive efforts to enhance administrative efficiency and build disaster resilience across the state.

Among the key initiatives inaugurated by the Chief Minister was the release of the State Disaster Management Plan (2024–25), aimed at strengthening Tripura’s capacity to manage both natural and human-induced disasters through strategic planning and coordinated efforts across departments. 

Online Inauguration of Technology Demonstration Unit, Hapania, aimed at showcasing disaster response technologies and innovation, reported ANI. 

The Civil Defence Training Scheme aims to create trained civilian response teams, equipping communities with the skills needed to respond effectively during emergencies and disasters.

A network of 26 automated weather stations and rain gauges has been set up across Tripura to deliver real-time weather updates, enhancing the state’s early warning systems and supporting informed disaster response efforts.

Launching of Online Portal for Disaster Management Equipment Verification: A new digital platform to ensure transparency and accountability in verifying disaster management tools and resources, reported ANI. 

Launching of Online Portal for Change of Land Use (Diversion of Land): This citizen-centric service aims to streamline land use change applications, promoting transparency and ease of access, reported ANI. 

Speaking on the occasion, CM Saha emphasised the state's commitment to good governance, citizen welfare, and disaster resilience.

"These initiatives reflect a futuristic and responsive approach to governance. With better planning, technology adoption, and public engagement, Tripura is setting a new standard in disaster management and administrative reforms," he stated, reported ANI. 

The programme underscores Tripura’s commitment to creating a safer, more transparent, and service-driven administration, in line with the state’s development goals and the broader vision of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
