Government of Goa has invited applications from citizens to enroll as Civil Defence Volunteers (CDVs). Issued by the Home Guards and Civil Defence Organisation, the call is open to ex-NCC cadets, college students, security guards, government servants, and other public-spirited individuals who are willing to serve during emergencies. The initiative, overseen by the Controller of Civil Defence, aims to create a trained volunteer force capable of responding to natural disasters, accidents, and public emergencies through a community-based approach. Volunteers will undergo training in first aid, rescue operations, disaster management, and community safety measures.
