It functions as an auxiliary organization aimed at preparing citizens and resources to mitigate, respond to, and recover from emergencies and disasters, both natural and man-made.
Key Objectives

- Disaster Preparedness: Training and mobilizing volunteers to assist during emergencies, such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and health crises.
- Public Safety: Supporting local law enforcement and government authorities in maintaining public order during large events or crises.
- Awareness Campaigns: Educating the public on disaster prevention, first aid, and safety protocols.
- Search and Rescue Operations: Assisting in search and rescue operations during disasters.

- First Aid
- Firefighting
- Crowd Control
- Disaster Management
Membership is open to Indian citizens above 18 years of age. Volunteers are provided with training, uniforms, and tools to perform their duties effectively.
