Answer 1

Answer:

D. 4 മാത്രം

The National Policy on Disaster Management (NPDM) actively promotes the involvement of local bodies, community-based organizations, and Panchayati Raj Institutions (PRIs) in disaster management. This is a core principle aimed at empowering communities and ensuring a broad-based approach. Therefore, reducing the role of local bodies is contrary to the policy's objectives, which include integrating these entities into all aspects of disaster management implementation.
