With Odisha prone to natural disasters like floods, heatwaves, cyclones, and droughts, we are arming youth with lifesaving skills – from disaster response drills to risk communication and heatwave campaigns – building a youth force ready to tackle disasters. Our training focuses on emergency preparedness, nature-based mitigation like mangrove belts, and resilient water infrastructure. Through OCOY and specialized workshops, young leaders develop and pitch innovative ideas to strengthen early warning systems and local adaptation strategies, building comprehensive community resilience across the state.
