Special Centre for Disaster Research at JNU is a leading research institute in the field of Disaster research. The main objective of this research institute is to teach and conduct good research in the field of disaster. These studies are to understand how disasters affect development, national resources and human and nonhuman lives. It also reflects the need for ecologically sensitive land use policies through GIS mapping and demarcation of fragile ecological areas.
The centre is involved in the new areas of information and communication research (ICT), ecosystem and communities, Artificial Intelligence and preparedness to disasters, smart cities and urban development. The research studies would also define the parameters of scientific preparedness, institutional accountability, and technology of mitigation.
So that we can say that the Special Centre for Disaster Research is responsible to build upon an appropriate relationship between social sciences, ICT and geospatial sciences. Its main purpose is to create a fine environment for better collaboration between the government and academic research institutes.
