In India, where there are eight billion individuals, it is crucial to preserve public security and safeguard the civil population in situations of distress. There have been multiple outbreaks on our planet, although, with time and the aid of civil defence, people have been able to recuperate from all of those catastrophes. Therefore, Civil Defence’s assistance has been extremely important in forming the country. Every year on December 6, Civil Defence Day is observed to raise awareness among the public and underline the relevance of civil protection. It is essential since this boosts public knowledge of disaster prevention, preparations, and self-defence. Because it is vital to fully comprehend how civil defence operates to consistently resolve disasters.
It has consistently been challenging to deal with unexpected scenarios and react correspondingly. Therefore, the mission of this occasion is to expand general insight into civil defence efforts, national emergency preparedness, and civilian readiness for calamities. "Civil Defense and the first aider in every home" served as the year's theme. This theme demonstrates how people can readily contact civil defence anytime an incident emerges.
Youth can indeed be educated about the relevance of this particular day through many organizations, such as NCC (National Cadet Corps). An Army, Navy, and Air Force institution called National Cadet Corps works to develop young people into disciplined and patriotic citizens. The battalion assists the NCC branch of the Kristu Jayanti College in organising regular parades, and cadets participate in camps, certificate tests, etc. Early instruction will provide kids with the skills necessary to respond appropriately to calamities. Additionally, the NCC wing is consistently committed in organising diverse activities that help the cadets become patriotic and civic-minded individuals.
