CBDM India 2025 to Boost Health Resilience, Local Disaster Readiness

Dr. (Flt Lt) M.A. Balasubramanya, Managing Trustee of JeevaRaksha and Chairman of the Organising Committee, said, “In disaster situations—whether caused by nature or conflict—every life saved is a victory of preparedness. The recent Indo-Pak flare-ups in border areas are a reminder that India must be ready not just with diplomacy or arms, but also with health, speed, and compassion. We must train our people, strengthen our health systems, and localise our response.”

CBDM India 2025 will tackle urgent priorities such as local risk mapping, public health intervention strategies, disaster psychology, digital alert systems, and inter-sectoral coordination. Sessions will explore how community-based models can be integrated with national response systems to create a more agile, informed, and resilient India. The conference will also offer hands-on workshops and case studies from India and the Global South, making it a knowledge hub for low-resource but high-impact solutions.

“This is not just a technical event. It is a convergence of policy, science, public health, and lived realities. We are gathering voices from the field—doctors, emergency workers, village leaders, and military medics—to build a framework that saves lives when seconds matter. Whether it’s a landslide, flash flood, or border shelling, it’s the community that responds first,” added Dr. Ram K Nair, Technical Director of JeevaRaksha and Organising Secretary, CBDM 2025. 

The conference expects participation from over 800 delegates, including officials from disaster management authorities, armed forces, healthcare institutions, academia, civil society, and youth networks. Institutions such as Armed Forces Medical Services, IISc, ISRO, Karnataka State Disaster Management Authority, and NIMHANS will lend technical support and vision.

Adding a public health lens, Dr. Prakash K H, CEO of JeevaRaksha, said, “The idea that only governments or uniformed forces handle disasters is outdated. It’s time to put people at the centre. This conference will show how villages, wards, hospitals, and schools can become strongholds of resilience. A JeevaRaksha-trained teacher or a connected ASHA can make the difference between life and loss in those first critical moments.”

CBDM India 2025 also opens the floor to innovation, inviting paper and poster submissions showcasing real-world solutions, best practices, and policy recommendations.  The Pre-Conference Workshop on June 19 will provide practical training in rapid response, triage, community mobilisation, and emergency communications at IRIDM, Bengaluru.

In a time of compounded crises—raging rivers and restless borders—CBDM India 2025 is India’s declaration of readiness, rooted not just in policy, but in people.
