ANIRUDDHA’S ACADEMY OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT

Aniruddha’s Academy of Disaster Management (AADM), is a charitable organization incorporated in April 2005 with ‘Disaster Management’ as its principal object. It is the culmination of Param Poojya Shri Aniruddha Bapu’s divine foresight and vision that has given concrete shape to the idea of having an academy of disaster management, that would impart basic training to the citizens of the country at large and specialized training to the would be trainers, on how to cope with all kinds of disasters, both natural and man-made. The trained volunteers would, in turn, reach out among the masses across the length and breadth of the country.
Disaster Management, as an idea and concept took shape in the year 2001 under the auspices of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Upasana Trust. A14-day workshop organized from 14th February 2002 to 27th February 2002 marked a definite and successful beginning in that direction. On the occasion, highly qualified officers from the Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai Police, Mumbai Fire Brigade and institutes such as KEM Hospital, BYL Nair Hospital and IIT Mumbai delivered lectures on various aspects of possible disasters and disaster management plans. It was in early 2005, when the activity had gathered the requisite ‘critical mass’ that the need was felt to hive off this activity into a separate organization, in order to get the focus and attention that it deserved.
Currently, AADM’s scope of operations covers conducting basic training courses, providing assistance to local and civic bodies during any unforeseen natural and man-made disasters and providing crowd control seva at various public functions. AADM has also undertaken projects such as Vermiculture and Pulse Polio Vaccination drives for the general welfare of society.
