The conference, however, shall be inclusive and provide an open platform to all scholars of geography and allied disciplines. Plenary lectures will have distinguished scholars speaking on themes of utmost importance. The focal theme of the conference is “Building a Disaster Resilient Society: Methods and Approaches” Disaster resilience is the ability of individuals, communities, organizations and states to adapt and recover from hazards, shocks and stresses without compromising long-term prospects for sustainable development. Developing disaster-resilient communities and societies requires accurate identification and analysis of the risks that the communities or societies are faced with and having all stakeholders from government to communities fully understands these risks. Controlling natural hazards is difficult, thus enhancing social capacity to cope with disasters is one of the most effective ways to manage, mitigate and reduce disaster risks. IIG poses this as the focal theme for 2019 meet.
