The conduct of this activity is a vital educational experience for students, faculty, and non-teaching personnel of the institution, as it serves as the institution’s proactive stance against natural disasters. The earthquake drill teaches the participants how to respond to emergencies and nurtures a culture of readiness and responsibility, transforming fear into foresight, panic into planning, and victims into survivors.
