      The National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) in India is a government agency responsible for formulating policies, plans, and guidelines for disaster management in the country. Its evolution can be summarized as follows:

      1. Pre-Independence Era: Before India gained independence in 1947, disaster management activities were primarily the responsibility of individual states and local communities. There was limited coordination at the national level.

      2. Post-Independence Period: After independence, disaster management continued to be primarily a state and local affair. However, major disasters prompted the need for a more coordinated national approach.

      3. 1987-2005: In 1987, the National Disaster Management Act was passed, laying the foundation for a national body dedicated to disaster management. The NDMA was officially established in 2005 following the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and the Gujarat earthquake in 2001, which highlighted the need for a dedicated authority.

      4. NDMA's Role: The NDMA's role is to coordinate disaster response and recovery efforts, formulate policies, plans, and guidelines, conduct training and capacity-building programs, and promote research and awareness in disaster management.

      5. Strengthening Disaster Management: Over the years, the NDMA has worked to strengthen India's disaster management capabilities, including the establishment of State Disaster Management Authorities (SDMAs) at the state level and the integration of disaster risk reduction into development planning.

      6. Response to Major Disasters: The NDMA has played a crucial role in responding to various disasters, including floods, cyclones, earthquakes, and pandemics, by providing guidance, mobilizing resources, and facilitating inter-agency coordination.

      The evolution of the NDMA reflects India's recognition of the importance of disaster management and the need for a centralized authority to coordinate efforts at the national level. Its ongoing efforts aim to enhance the country's resilience to various natural and man-made disasters.
