Conclusion
4) Lack of continuity: NDRF is 100% deputational force. Thus personnel from CAPF & police organisation are posted for a duration of a year. 5) Insufficient equipments: Huge shortage of essential equipments needed for various rescue operations - thus risking their lives & as well as others. 6) Dual control: There is great ambiguity in the control of command structure. Mainly by Home Affairs is responsible for funds & execution of administrative - thus there is bureaucratic tug, thus delaying various processed. Measures to enhance its effectiveness: 1) Alongside deputational force inclusion of young & able bodied youth for training by providing service from various organisations such as National Cadet Corps, Nehru Yuva Kundasaiyatan 2) Addressing financial constraints 3) Cooperation with local bodies for efficient disaster risk mitigation 4) Budget allocation for establishing & upgrading appropriate training infrastructure, hiring well trained personnel & producing state of art technical equipment for training of the force as per international standard
NDRF has done excellent work till now & we must keep performing on test of its ability, but as it is the state's responsibility to keep training to do better, there increasing expenditure on NDRF for capacity building the benefits will definitely outweigh the money spent.
