As natural disasters in the Sundarban delta occur almost every year in one form or the other, socio-economic, educational and political preparedness to face the challenges seems crucial. However, most often, poor families become the worst victims of these disasters, as they lack any kind of preparedness. In this context, how the people of the Sundarbans may become prepared to face natural disaster is a question of concern today. The students are the primary sufferers of any natural disaster in Sundarbans, being inhabitants of the area, and it was therefore of prime importance that they should participate in this discussion. The experiences of the students were shared in this forum, which provided inputs for brainstorming by the academics and social thinkers present at the webinar.

Dr. Annu Jalais shared her experiences during her stay in the Sundarbans for the purpose of a survey. The coexistence of human with nature has been explained lucidly in her lecture. Mr. Jyotirindranarayan Lahiri, Editor, Shudhu Sundarban Charcha and Founder Secretary, Tepantarer Swapno highlighted several strategic issues during natural disaster. He pointed out that same strategy might not be applicable for entire Sundarbans.

Five students attending the seminar shared their recent experiences during Aamphan and Yash.
