Disaster management training programme ends

A seven-day state-level training programme under the Yuva Aapda Mitra Scheme (YAMS) recently concluded at Lamrin Tech Skills University (LTSU), Punjab. The programme was sponsored by the National Disaster Management Authority, Government of India; and the Punjab State Disaster Management Authority. The event was organised by the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration (MGSIPA), Government of Punjab.

The final day began with an intensive practical session delivered by MGSIPA training officers. Trainees actively participated in hands-on demonstrations focusing on emergency response, rescue procedures, and disaster-preparedness techniques. Through the practical exposure, the event aimed to enable students to understand the real-world application of disaster management skills.

Sohnu, assistant professor and NSS Programme Officer, delivered a lecture on “Man-made disaster: Cybercrime”.

Post the academic sessions, volunteers showcased their talent in a cultural programme, followed by an interactive feedback session.

This seven-day programme aimed to empower trainees with essential knowledge, practical skills, and confidence to act efficiently during emergencies.
