Introducing the GDC FieldOps
Fellowship

Climate Change isn't just a buzzword - it's an urgent call for action. But have you ever wondered how governments and communities gear up to face the climate-induced storms? Community Response Network 101 is a 30 mins self-paced learning course that intends to create awareness about India's Disaster Management System and how they coordinate efforts during a national emergency.

Why is this course important?

Climate Change shall cause many disasters in the near future. Individuals who are aware of how government systems work are empowered to both help themselves and can also volunteer to help society recover faster during a disaster.

Through this course, whenever a national emergency arises, you shall know how our government will manage that emergency and how you can contribute to solving the crisis or where to seek help.

The knowledge in this course shall enable a learner to develop the Graduate Attribute/Quality of "Environmental Awareness and Action" prescribed by UGC as an important attribute for holistic development of a student.

Who can Join?

Anyone aged 18 and above, from all domains, are welcome to take this course.

Our school system often overlooks the most critical knowledge on disaster management, which holds high importance for individuals throughout their lives.

Given the rapid changes in climatic conditions, we anticipate an increase in natural catastrophes that could result in significant losses of life and property. By acquiring the knowledge from this course, you will be better equipped to support your loved ones and community in their mitigation efforts.
