Odisha Govt Launches Skill Training for Civil Defence Volunteers
Imagine a group of helpers, like superheroes, called civil defence volunteers.
They're getting special training to help in emergencies, like during a war.
Experts are teaching them important skills, such as how to stay calm, spot fake news, and help people if something bad happens.
They'll learn how to deal with dangers like bombs, water problems, and food safety.
The government wants more people to join, because there aren't many volunteers right now.
This training is happening because of problems with another country and the government wants everyone to be ready for anything.
The Odisha government launched a six-day training program for civil defence volunteers.
Experts from the NDRF are imparting training in various areas, including psychological warfare.
The training aims to enhance the capacity and basic skills of civil defence volunteers.
Training covers essential service maintenance, community drills, and emergency rescue methods.
The initiative follows the Centre's directive to enhance civil defence readiness.
