It has been 14 years since the Indian Ocean Tsunami, but questions regarding practices in disaster relief and rehabilitation, sensitive to specific geographies and cultural contexts, remain. With a focus on the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, JTSDS is organising a Roundtable to examine key questions in post-disaster recovery and development such as:

1. What role did the recovery process play in the development of the islands?
2. How did the power relations shift?
3. Who has benefited more/less from these developments?
4. What interventions promoted sustainability and long- term development?

A multi-sectoral group of experts will present their experience and evidence, and these discussions will enrich disaster discourse and future response processes, especially in eco-fragile regions.

Registration Fees

Rs. 300 for TISS Students
