Why Disaster Management?
India ranks among the most disaster-prone nations globally, with a significant portion of its population regularly affected by natural calamities. In the northeastern region, particularly in Assam and Meghalaya, communities frequently face challenges such as floods, ethnic conflicts, and other emergencies that disrupt livelihoods and well-being.
Ajagar Social Circle (ASC), established in 2001 and headquartered in Goalpara, Assam, has been at the forefront of addressing these challenges. Recognizing the need for localized and proactive disaster management, ASC has implemented a range of initiatives aimed at relief, recovery, and preparedness. Their efforts encompass providing emergency shelter, food, medical assistance, and livelihood support to affected communities. Notably, ASC has been instrumental in relief and rehabilitation programs during events like the Garo-Rabha ethnic clashes and recurrent floods in the region.
By collaborating with government agencies and international organizations, ASC continues to strengthen its disaster response mechanisms, ensuring that vulnerable populations receive timely and effective assistance during crises.
