Revenue Minister K. Rajan laid the foundation stone for an open auditorium at the Institute of Land and Disaster Management (ILDM) here on Friday.
He also inaugurated a slew of projects at the ILDM on the occasion.
As part of the government’s 100 day action plan, a Revenue Information Bureau has been set up at the ILDM to make various initiatives of the Revenue department accessible to the public. As part of this, a live telecasting studio, social media and a YouTube channel will be launched soon.
The Revenue department, which has a major responsibility for disaster management, is also launching a post-disaster trauma counselling centre at the ILDM to mitigate post-traumatic stress disorder among employees and the public.
With the aim of achieving the goal of becoming a centre for excellence, classrooms for new MBA courses, a mini cafeteria, an upgraded campus WiFi and an interactive touch panel were also inaugurated.
