At the district level, who is primarily responsible for disaster management and for implementing rehabilitation schemes?
AVillage sarpanch
BState chief minister
CDistrict collector
DPrime minister
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. District collector
1. The District Disaster Management Authority section names the district collector as responsible at district level.
2. The collector plans, coordinates and controls rehabilitation and gets schemes sanctioned from state authorities.
3. So the district collector is correct.
4. Rule out the chief minister: that is a state-level role, not the district-level responsibility described.
