India is succesfully dealing with disaster arising out of Cyclone,especially in coastal zones.National Cyclone Risk Mitigation Project funded by World Bank is playing a vital role in this context.We can share our Detail Project Report.

I would like to report about coastal zone of Eastern India,SUNDARBANS situated in the state of West Bengal ,India , South Asia. It is considered to be the biggest Archipelagos in the world having huge habitation or settlement of Human Population.I have visited these areas number of times and I have found that emphasis should be given in the area of plantation of big trees.
