ANSWER: 30
India’s elite disaster mitigation combat force, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in October 2015 partnered 30 Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs) in order to develop mutual understanding and enhance capabilities to jointly tackle man-made or natural emergencies. The coordination is between NDRF and PSUs like GAIL, ONGC and Air India. This is the first initiative of its kind which involves joint action by the NDRF and the PSUs to mitigate the impact of disasters. NDRF was instituted in 2006 and currently has 11 battalion forces.
