NDRF training session for SRPF units

Explaining the idea behind the training sessions,Alok Awasthi,commandant with Pune unit of NDRF,said,“Going beyond disaster mitigation,we want to train them in the state-of-art techniques of disaster management. We also want to develop instructor abilities among the trainees so that they can impart training to other personnel. SDR units can fill in the gaps for disaster management till NDRF reaches the spot.”

Reddy said,“After I took over as the vice-chairman of the authority in January,I had written to chief minsters of all the states about training state reserved police forces. I got an immediate response from the Maharashtra CM and and an active support from SRPF chief.” S D Trimbake,commandant with the Unit I of SRPF in Pune,said the State Disaster Response Units need modern equipment to handle disasters.

“Along with SRPF personnel,we feel that civil defence units and home guards should also be given training in disaster management. Civil officer must be given training in the same and infrastructure at the SRPF units can be used for the purpose.” Reddy said provision for the trainings will soon be made and training of all 1000 SRFP personnel will be completed before monsoon next year.

From the SRPF units at the training,about 10 personnel will be selected for an advanced training programme in Coimbatore who will conduct training sessions for other personnel in the future.
