The Gujarat Institute of Disaster Management (GIDM) and Professor Vinod Sharma, the founder co-ordinator of the National Centre of Disaster Management, have been selected for this year’s Subhash Chandra Bose Aapda Prabandhan Puraskar. They will receive their awards from Prime Minister Narendra Modi at an investiture ceremony on Sunday evening, to commemorate the 125th birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
The GIDM and Professor Sharma will be honoured “for their excellent work in Disaster Management”, according to a statement released by the Ministry of Home Affairs.
While GIDM was selected under the institutional category, Professor Sharma was chosen in the individual category. Those who were selected in 2019, 2020 and 2021 will also receive the award at the ceremony on Sunday.
The Centre instituted the annual award to recognise and honour the invaluable contribution and selfless service rendered by individuals and organisations in India in the field of disaster management in India. It will be announced every year on 23rd January, the birth anniversary of Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose.
