    3. Procedures followed in decision making : 

    Decisions are taken at the Directorate as well at the level of the District establishments depending on the nature of the issues at hand. At the Directorate level, decisions on policy matters are taken by the Director General in consultation with other senior officers of the department; other normal / routine matters may also be decided by the Commandant General / Dy. Commanmdant General in accordance to work delegation and rules / procedures in force. No arbitrary decision is encouraged.

     4. Norms for discharge of functions:

    The officers and personnel of the department (Home Guards) discharge their duties as empowered and outlined in the Home Guards Act 1988, passed by the Nagaland Legislature. Similarly, for discharge of Civil Defence functions, the Civil Defence Act 1968 as passed by Parliament is available for discharge of its functions.

              Basically, the Home Guards performs as an auxiliary to the police force and have been augmenting the shortage of manpower for static guard duty, security and traffic management. During such deployment, the Home Guards must be supervised by the police. Home Guards are also given training on Civil Defence subjects such as First-Aid, basic Fire-Fighting, Rescue so that they become useful in times of emergency. 

              Civil Defence perform functions such as creation of awareness for public safety, imparting various training to prepared a community to act as responders to any given situation during war or peace time by way of capacity building. In recent times, the Civil Defence has become an important player towards management of disasters.

    The basic difference between the two organizations is that Home Guards are uniformed and armed, while the Civil Defence volunteers are not.

     5. Rules, regulations, instructions, manuals etc :

    Both Civil Defence and Home Guards have separate Compendium of Instructions issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs, GoI, under which all roles, duties, functions, training, policies are outlined. Besides, the officers and employees are bound by the Nagaland Government Service Conduct Rules and other rules issued from time to time by the government.

    6. Categories of documents held by the department: 

    No secret documents are held by the department. So far only documents relating to revamping of Civil Defence set up in the country received from the National Disaster Management Authority, Guidelines from the MHA in regard to Civil Defence and Home Guards, management of CD communication, personal records / documents of officers, personnel & staff, are held.

    7. Particulars of arrangement for consultation with, or representation by the members of the public in relation to formulation of policy :

    The Civil Defence organization being voluntary in concept involves the public as member of its force. The CD Warden System requires the active participation of respected personalities in the community to act as Wardens. This arrangement allows for a direct consultations with or representation by members of the public for implementation of the policies.

               However, due to fund constraints Civil Defence is unable to take off properly and the issue for providing adequate funds is being considered for the year 2008-2009.
