National Disaster Relief Fund (India)

The National Disaster Relief Fund (NDRF) in India is a government-managed emergency fund established to provide immediate financial assistance during natural or man-made disasters like floods, cyclones, earthquakes, or fires. Funded by the Central Government and, in some cases, state contributions, it enables quick mobilization of resources for relief and rehabilitation activities. The NDRF supports affected people, aids in disaster response efforts, and helps restore normalcy in impacted areas, ensuring that adequate funds are available promptly to mitigate the effects of disasters.
