In light of ongoing Indo-Pak hostilities, marked by Pakistan’s continued proxy war through repeated terror strikes in India and India’s firm response against terror infrastructure in Pakistan and PoJK, the Ministry of Home Affairs has instructed Civil Defence Mock Drills across 244 districts in bordering states. These drills adhere to the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) set by the District Disaster Management Authority (DDMA).

As part of this initiative, students are trained in emergency preparedness, including taking cover under desks during crises and responding effectively in low-visibility conditions when the hooter is activated. The campaign also emphasizes the importance of emergency kits, identifying safe zones, and maintaining essential supplies—ensuring schools and higher education institutions (HEIs) are equipped for any unforeseen situations.

General Instructions to Ensure Preparedness and Protection

  • Regularly follow credible sources for updates from the Ministry of Home Affairs, local authorities, and disaster management agencies.  For instance Delhi education institutions should follow  Delhi Disaster Management Authority (DDMA) https://ddma.delhi.gov.in/  and Directorate of Education, Delhi https://www.edudel.nic.in/
  • Avoid sharing unverified information circulating on social media that could cause harm or confusion.
  1. Prepare an Emergency kit: Ensure you have a ‘Go-Bag’ with:
  • Important documents in waterproof covers
