Summary: The relief efforts to tackle natural calamities in India are seldom well documented. This is largely attributable to the fact that relief administration in the Centre and the States has minimal regular and continuing staff. When a crisis or a calamity occurs, staff from the line departments get drafted for relief operations. As long as the crisis lasts, attention is understandably concentrated on the speedy implementation of rescue operations and relief measures. As soon as normalcy is restored and the feverish activity associated with the implementation of relief measures abates, the relief operations get wound up and the staff disbanded. The special staff drawn from the line departments revert to their regular duties in their respective departments.
