Rapid population growth, urbanization, climate change and poverty have made millions of people in the country more vulnerable. To achieve the organization-wide goals under UNSDF / OPIII, the capacity building of strategic planners and the incorporation of disaster risk reduction practices into their organizations is required. The National Disaster Management Plan (NDMP) and National Flood Protection Plan IV (NFPP-IV), with a financial outlay of $ 3 billion, inevitably require highly skilled Disaster Management professionals in the medium and long term.

The Diploma in Disaster Management is a one-year diploma program that teaches disaster preparedness, mitigation, and restoration. This course teaches students about disaster management from a regional, national and global perspective. This course focuses on disaster management, developing pre-disaster strategies, and implementing plans and methods to mitigate, minimize or even avoid losses. During the course, students are taught to recognize impending disasters and cope with them using organizational skills.
