National Center for Seismology

The National Center for Seismology (NCS) is an Indian government organization responsible for monitoring and studying earthquakes across the country. It operates a network of seismographic stations that detect ground movements, analyze seismic data, and provide timely alerts about earthquake activity. NCS also conducts research to understand seismic hazards, helps in earthquake preparedness, and maintains records of seismic events to support safety and mitigation efforts. Its work is vital for protecting lives and infrastructure by enabling early warning systems and informing policymakers about earthquake risks.
