Rs 23,000 crore given to state disaster fund, 50% of it for Covid fight

印度中央拨款2300亿卢比至邦级灾害应对基金，其中50%用于抗击新冠疫情

NEW DELHI: The Centre has allocated over Rs 23,000 crore towards State Disaster Response Fund (SDRF) for the second successive year in 2021-22, half of which has been allowed to be used for Covid pandemic management. Last year, the Centre had released Rs 29,000 crore towards state disaster funds.

新德里：2021-2022财年，中央连续第二年向邦级灾害应对基金(SDRF)拨款超过2300亿卢比，其中一半获准用于抗击新冠疫情。去年，中央拨款2900亿卢比至邦级灾害应对基金。

Some states like Odisha have been effectively putting this fund to use in disaster mitigation by building resilient infrastructure. The state’s cyclone centres built along its coastal districts served as Covid quarantine centres last year for lakhs of returning migrants. Karnataka on Sunday announced allocation of Rs 15 crore from this fund for purchase of ambulances and other equipment.

奥里萨邦等一些邦通过建设有弹性的基础设施，有效地将这一基金用于减灾。去年，在沿海地区建立的气旋中心为数十万返乡民工充当了新冠隔离中心。卡纳塔克邦周日宣布从该基金中拨出1.5亿卢比，用于购买救护车和其他设备。

Odisha CM Naveen Patnaik has been often praised for his disaster mitigation efforts. Recently, he received congratulatory messages on Twitter from Mami Mizutori, head of the UN office for disaster risk reduction, for his efforts towards pandemic management and coming to the rescue of other states when they were facing anwith acute oxygen crisis.

奥里萨邦首席部长Naveen Patnaik经常因其减灾努力而受到赞扬。最近，他在推特上收到了联合国减灾办公室负责人Mami Mizutori发来的贺电，感谢他在控制疫情方面所做的努力，以及在其他邦面临严重的氧气危机时伸出援手。

As per the recommendation of the 15th finance commission, the government changed its policy, shifting its focus from spending just on rescue and relief to building resilient infrastructure.

根据第15届财政委员会的建议，政府改变了其政策，将重点从仅仅花费在救援和救济上转移到建设有弹性的基础设施上。

Annually for last 20 years, India on an average has suffered economic losses of $10 billion to disasters. For the first time the Centre has constituted the National Disaster Risk Management Fund and encouraged states to have their own which will address both response, mitigation and long term recovery.

过去20年，印度每年平均因灾害遭受100亿美元的经济损失。中央政府首次成立了国家灾害风险管理基金，并鼓励各邦建立各自的基金，处理应对、减轻和长期复苏的问题。

If the states have not received the fund , you can see them making a ruckus. They are silent becuase they received it. No one knows how the states are spending. There should be an audit on expenditure.

如果各邦没有收到这笔款项，他们会制造骚动。他们沉默是因为他们收到了拨款，没人知道各邦是如何支出这笔拨款的，应该对开支进行审计。
