A FEW GOOD MEN AND THE ANGRY SEA: LESSONS IN DISASTER MANAGEMENT
0₹395.00About the Book
On 26 December 2004, a monstrous wave rose from the depths of the Indian Ocean and struck without warning. Among the worst hit was the Air Force base on Car Nicobar Island—residential flats of the IAF were flattened in moments, and at least 116 of its personnel and family members were claimed by the sea. Five days later, Air Commodore Nitin Sathe (now retired) was among the first IAF officers to land on the ruined island, tasked with an almost impossible mission: to rebuild the base in just 100 days. Their first task was to restore the airfield and the jetty so that help and supplies from the mainland could land without further delay. This gripping narrative follows the journey of those who endured the destruction and those who came to restore hope. Through personal stories and vivid accounts, the book captures the scale of loss, the courage of survivors, and the discipline and humanity of the men in uniform who helped pick up the pieces. While it focuses on the 2004 tsunami, the book resonates powerfully in today’s world—one increasingly ravaged by climate change-induced calamities. From cyclones to floods, the echoes of 2004 remind us that nature’s fury remains ever-present.

PUBLIC PRIVATE PARTNERSHIP IN INFRASTRUCTURE
0₹995.00About the Book
Since the beginning of the Five-Year Plan period, public sector has been solely responsible for providing basic infrastructure through government funding. However, post liberalisation the private sector has taken a lead into the infrastructure funding and the capital market now appears mature enough to enter into project financing. However, giving the externalities, high risk and low rate of return, private investors have been finding it difficult to finance capital intensive projects.
At the same time, with the budget constraints, inherent inefficiency and regulatory mechanism, public sector has not been able to muster required resources as well. Therefore, Public Private Partnership has emerged as a viable option in infrastructure building. As a case study, author has given a narrative description of the journey attached to a successfully planned and managed PPP project, in which he served as the first Managing Director and demonstrated that with effective management such projects are not only completed in time with reduced cost, but also provide incentive to the promotion by way of reducing operating cost.
The book is a hands-on narration of the experience that the author has in the execution of Kutch Railway, one of the earliest PPP rail projects on the Indian Railways. One of the first publications of its kind, the book will be of interest to the spectrum of readers from policy makers in the government to project financing companies, construction agencies, academic institutions etc.
