The Civil Defence came into existence
during the Second World War. In the
event of border conflict between India
and China in 1962, the Central
Government took the decision of
preparing a proper plan on Civil
Defence aspects for different States
and Union Territories of the country.
It may be stated that Civil Defence, as
a whole, started to grow up in our
country after the war between India
and Pakistan.
Aim of Civil Defence
The aim of Civil Defence is to
minimise the effect of enemy action
and the action of disaster on men &
material and, therefore, to protect life
& property and to maintain the
continuity of normal life of the
society. Civil Defence is essentially
the defence of the citizen by the
citizen and it is not the defence of
the civilian population by the
military. It is concerned with general
public and local authorities. At the
district level, it is more related with
the relief and rescue activities against
various types of disasters.
District Set-up of Civil Defence
The District Magistrate is the head of
the Civil Defence in the District and is
designated as the Controller of Civil
Defence. To assist him there is also
an Additional District Magistrate, who
is designated as Additional Controller
of Civil Defence.
In the sub-divisions, the Sub-
Divisional Officers are the head of the
Civil Defence and are known as
Deputy Controller of Civil Defence.
In the district headquarters, one
Deputy Magistrate is entrusted as
Officer-in-Charge of the Civil Defence
Department to look after the day-to-
day work. Similar practice is also
followed in the sub-divisions.
There are a number of Senior Staff
Officer Instructors (Sr.SOI) and Staff
Officer Instructors (SOI) posted at the
district and sub-divisional
headquarters, who are entrusted for
setting up Civil Defence organisation
across the district. They are also
entrusted for raising volunteers from
amongst the willing young persons
and to train them up as per module of
various Civil Defence training courses
so that they may render their services
to combat any emergent situation.
Present activities at district and sub-
divisions of North 24 Parganas

volunteers are trained up in the
district of North 24 Parganas. Some
of them are deployed for rendering

volunteers are utilised for assisting
