📖 Your Story

You are a new cadet at the NDRF training academy in Delhi. Your instructor, Colonel Meena, has assigned you to study landform-related disasters across India — from the limestone caves of Meghalaya to the avalanche-prone slopes of Uttarakhand. Complete missions to earn your stripes and be deployed for real disaster response.

What You'll Learn

  • Identify landforms created by underground water including caves, stalactites, stalagmites, and sinkholes.
  • Explain the causes of landslides, avalanches, and GLOFs including natural and human factors.
  • Recognise disaster-prone areas in India and understand mitigation measures for each disaster type.

How to Play

1Read each mission briefing carefully before attempting the problems.
2Answer multiple-choice questions about underground water landforms, landslides, avalanches, and GLOFs.
3Use up to 3 hints per problem if you're stuck — but fewer hints means a higher score.
4Complete all three missions in order to graduate from the academy.
