Overview and About the Course:

The field of study known as disaster management focuses on how to organise and manage the duties and safety measures that people should take in case of calamities. For the purpose of reducing the effects of catastrophes, this area of management works with all humanitarian issues, including preparation, response, and recovery. Until the end of time, there will undoubtedly be disasters and catastrophes. However, humans may take preventative measures and encourage a quicker recovery from the effects of them. For this reason, there is a rising need for catastrophe managers. Students who study disaster preparedness and management have the skills necessary to deal with the fallout from humanitarian crises and natural disasters as disaster managers.

By definition, disasters are unpredictable, and they invariably leave a wake of destruction in their wake. Chaos entirely takes control and people's lives are thrown into disorder. Despite the fact that we have no control over when a catastrophe will strike, we do have some influence over how it will be dealt with once it does, and this is where disaster management comes into play. People need support and protection when calamity—whether it's man-made or natural—occurs. Disaster management prepares you to assist these disaster-stricken, defenceless individuals recover from the crisis with the least amount of harm to their health and personal property.

• Applicants for the Ph.D. in Disaster Management programme can learn more about catastrophes and their complexities. When a casualty occurs, they are given the information needed to make the best use of the available material, financial, and human resources. Additionally, they are taught how to organise camps, deal with the public, and perform rescues. They are also taught how to function as a team. The capacity to handle a situation with serenity and patience is given as much emphasis as developing the student's entire personality.

• There has been a tremendous loss of life, property, and many people's homes as a result of man-made and natural disasters, which are occurring more frequently every year. There is a shortage of persons who can put forth their labour for assisting and working during tragedy due to the rise in disasters. The goal of the Ph.D. in Disaster Management course is to provide students with the readiness and ability to manage such trying circumstances.

• Applicants for a Ph.D. in Disaster Management receive the training and skill sets required to become recognised specialists in the area. After completing the programme, the students will have a variety of job options, including those in the chemical, insurance, and defence industries as well as those related to managing droughts. The program's overarching goal is to shape the students into competent subject matter experts who ultimately succeed in that industry.

A three-year, full-time doctoral degree in environmental management is offered under the heading "Ph.D. in Disaster Management." The program's eligibility requirements include a qualifying Master's degree or M.Phil. in the appropriate subject with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 55% in the discipline from an accredited university. 

Candidates should also have a minimum of five years of experience working as professionals in senior positions in their field of competence.
