NDMA Newsletter

The National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM) was
inaugurated on 15th February, 2010 by Chairman, National
Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), Lt Gen Farooq Ahmad
Khan (R).
The Government of Pakistan is striving to promote DRM as one of
the priority development concerns. There is a growing realization
that it would be difficult to achieve the objectives of DRM in the
absence of a full-fledged academic institute dedicated for
providing research and training services. In this background,
NDMA was given the responsibility of establishing the National
Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), which was a statutory
requirement under the National Disaster Management
Ordinance, 2009.
