New Delhi: The Delhi government in collaboration with the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) will launch a citywide School Safety Campaign on November 25 to strengthen disaster preparedness across schools. The initiative aims to make schools better equipped to handle critical situations, including earthquakes, fire incidents, extreme heat and crowd-related emergencies, an official said.

According to the official, the campaign is part of the NDMA’s “School Contact Programme”, initiated after the authority engaged a private agency in October to support implementation.

In a meeting held on November 3, it was decided that the initiative will cover 2,082 schools across the capital by mid-January next year, he added.

The launch event will be held at Springdales School at Pusa Road
