Disaster Studies is emerging globally as a full-fledged academic discipline. As a field of practice it demands specialisation to meet with the ever-dynamic challenges posed by disasters. Recognising that academic education and training in the field of disaster management requires a multidisciplinary approach, the Centre for Disaster Management was established in TISS in 2006, with a generous grant from the Jamsetji Tata Trust. The Centre consolidated nearly sixty years of TISS's committed work in disaster situations and introduced a full-time, taught Masters' programme in Disaster Management in 2007 and during the last decade has conducted research and trainings in various areas.
