Union Minister for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, Bhupender Yadav on Friday said due to climate change and human-induced factors, disaster events are increasing worldwide and called for a strong global strategy in this regard.
On the occasion of the three-day World Disaster Management Conference–2025 organized in Dehradun by the Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology (UCOST), the Union Minister through video message said that the 10-point agenda proposed by the Prime Minister has received remarkable support across the world, showcasing India’s leadership capabilities. He stated that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, India established a global organization— the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure (CDRI)—which is doing excellent work on disaster-related issues.
Yadav said that the “Silkyara Victory Operation” has proved that strong determination, efficient leadership, and scientific expertise can make the impossible possible even in the toughest situations. This operation is an inspiring example for countries around the world. He emphasized the need to focus on science and technology-based disaster mitigation, forecasting, and preparedness to make disaster management more effective. Only through modern technology, research, and international cooperation can future disasters be managed effectively.
Concluding his address, Yadav expressed hope that the ideas, research, and recommendations emerging from this conference will prove beneficial for India as well as the entire world, and will guide the development of multi-hazard strategies. He also conveyed his best wishes to the organizers and all participants for the successful conduct of the conference.
