The NDRF will start the process of hiring around 4,000 personnel (1,000 personnel in each battalion).

The disaster response force currently has 12 battalions stationed in different parts of the country for easy deployment during natural disasters and other emergencies.

The force is specially trained to deal with calamities like earthquakes, floods, cyclones and man-made disasters.

The NDRF had earned laurels for its services during floods in Uttarakhand, Jammu and Kashmir, Assam, Tamil Nadu; cyclone in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh and earthquake in Nepal.

A team of NDRF was even sent to Japan to help authorities there in handling the Tsunami a few years ago.
