Which district ranks first on the District Flood Severity Index (DFSI)?
- IIT Delhi and IIT Gandhinagar researchers have developed a District Flood Severity Index (DFSI) to measure flood impact at the district level.
- DFSI considers five key factors:
- Average flood duration in days
- Percentage of district area prone to floods
- Number of people killed or injured by floods
- District population
- Frequency of floods in the district
- The index uses data from the India Flood Inventory with Impacts (IFI-Impacts) database, which compiles flood-related information for 30 years.
- DFSI aims to help local administrations better assess and manage flood risks by providing a comprehensive district-level flood severity score.
- This index was highlighted recently in research published in The Hindu.

The MMG is capable of firing multiple types of missiles from a single platform, enhancing flexibility in defence operations.
-
It has been designed and manufactured entirely in India, reducing dependency on foreign technology.
-
Defence experts believe this innovation will strengthen India’s self-reliance in military hardware under the ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ mission.
-
The company plans to collaborate with the armed forces for trials and large-scale deployment.

5] IIT Delhi and IIT Gandhinagar researchers have developed a District Flood Severity Index (DFSI) to measure flood impact at the district level.
- DFSI considers five key factors:
- Average flood duration in days
- Percentage of district area prone to floods
- Number of people killed or injured by floods
- District population
- Frequency of floods in the district
- The index uses data from the India Flood Inventory with Impacts (IFI-Impacts) database, which compiles flood-related information for 30 years.
- DFSI aims to help local administrations better assess and manage flood risks by providing a comprehensive district-level flood severity score.
- This index was highlighted recently in research published in The Hindu.
