About JTSDS and DTSF

The Jamsetji Tata School of Disaster Studies was established in 2006 as an independent centre (The Jamsetji Tata Centre for Disaster Management-JTCDM), consolidating more than 60 year of TISS experience and expertise in disaster relief, response and policy advocacy. JTCDM was elevated to the status of a School in 2015 with the following three centers : Centre for Disaster Management, Centre of Disasters and Development, and Centre for Geo-informatics. The key domains of the school's work towards shaping the disaster discourse are: Capacity Building, Research, Field Action and Policy Advocacy. To be able to address the growing demand for capacity building and other extension services most needed in building a disaster resilient Nation, the school had set up the Disaster Technical Support Facility as an extension of the academic entity. The key areas of work would be : Technical support services on development and implementation of plans and programs; Capacity and System strengthening; Policy and program development support; Knowledge generation, archiving and dissemination; Facilitating state and national dialogues across sectors and projects. The DTSF targets both pre and post disaster technical support needs of a range of stakeholders starting from community based organizations to corporates, I/NGOs, UN multilateral agencies and the Government (Ministries, Departments, Institutions and Authorities).

The Current Projects of DTSF are:

1. Disaster Resilience Leadership Gap Study
2. Disasters and Beyond Field Action Project
3. Research Project on Transboundary Water Governance Important Dates: Applications should reach suchita.awasthi@tiss.edu on or before 29^th March 2019
