India's approach to disaster management has evolved significantly. Initially, it was largely relief-centric. However, major disasters like the Gujarat Earthquake 2001 and the Indian Ocean Tsunami 2004 highlighted the need for a proactive, holistic, and multi-hazard approach. This led to the enactment of the Disaster Management Act 2005 and the establishment of dedicated institutions.
