Children are one of the most affected groups in any disaster due to their inability to respond to emergencies due to various reasons. In a multi-hazard prone state such as Bihar, schools are often located in vulnerable areas and unprepared to respond to emergencies. In recent years, many schools across India have witnessed many catastrophic incidents.

Considering the importance of safety of children at school, BSDMA planned to reach each and every schools of Bihar to make it a safer place for children through the School Mock Drill Exercise. Towards this end, BSDMA initiated the Mukhyamantri School Safety Program (MSSP), which is being implemented along with Bihar Education Project Council (BEPC) and Department of Education (DoE), Govt. of Bihar. BSDMA provided the entire related technical consultancy for the execution of this program from village level to state level. The program is also being steered by the District Disaster Management Authorities (DDMAs), in each and every school located in 38 districts the state (Seventy six thousand government schools and 50 thousand private schools covering more than twenty million (2 crore) school children across the state). In accordance to the various monitoring reports received by BSDMA, the program has been a big success in identifying, strengthening and capacity building of 151,000 (One lakh fifty one thousand) Nodal Teachers cum Master Trainers in Seventy six thousand government schools and 50 thousand private schools of the 38 districts, besides capacitating 20,000,000 (2 crores/20 million) school children in the state.
