💨 Abstract

The Civil Defence of Maharashtra recently held mock drills to enhance emergency preparedness, despite facing issues like manpower shortages and inadequate equipment. The government is now focusing on strengthening the agency by addressing these shortcomings and has plans to introduce a Civil Defence course in engineering colleges starting next academic year. The course, developed in collaboration with the University of Mumbai, aims to train students in rescue operations and emergency response, with 25 marks dedicated to this subject.
