Civil Defence Day is celebrated on 6th December every year to make aware of the citizens and highlight the importance of civil defence. The civil Defence provides protection to the civilian population during crisis. The civil Defence and Home Guards are the twin voluntary organisations for the cause of defence to the nation. These organisations are based on the concept of safety of the common man.

These organisations are also well known for mitigating the suffering of the victims of disasters as first responders and we are proud of them.
