NEW DELHI: Emphasising the need for investment in resilient infrastructure, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on April 24 said that the focus should shift towards resilience in infrastructure once relief and rehabilitation are carried out after a disaster strikes.
Addressing a gathering at the 6th edition of the International Conference on Disaster Resilient Infrastructure, PM Modi reflected on the “impressive growth” of the Coalition for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure since its inception in 2019.
PM Modi underlined that it is now a global coalition of 39 countries and 7 organizations. “This is a good sign for the future,” the PM added.
“We must invest in resilient infrastructure today for a better tomorrow. Resilience must be factored into new infrastructure creation while also being a part of post-disasterrebuilding. The focus should shift towards resilience in infrastructure once relief and rehabilitation are carried out after a disaster strikes,” he said.
