"Atma webinar session on 'Disaster Management' has been one of the best webinars I have attended. It gave us a preventive approach to Disaster Management within NGOs! I am bursting with ideas and possibilities- something that I was facing with dread and uncertainty has become an opportunity for growth and innovative solutions. Thank you immensely!"
