The Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India report (ADSI) of the NCRB provides data on accidental deaths attributable to the forces of nature like earthquakes, floods, lightning, and epidemics, to name a few.  Analysis indicates that the NCRB & Jal Shakti Ministry provide different numbers on Flood related fatalities.

The National Crime Record Bureau’s (NCRB) 55th edition of the Accidental Deaths and Suicides in India report  (ADSI) covering the calendar year 2021 was released recently. The report provides information on the deaths due to accidents, which have been classified into two broad groups – accidental deaths due to causes attributable to nature and unnatural accidental deaths. Accidental deaths attributable to the forces of nature are those due to earthquakes, floods, lightning, and epidemics, to name a few.  As per the 2021 report, over 3.98 lakh accidental deaths were reported, of which 7,126 (1.8%) deaths were due to forces of nature. 

On average, 44 people lost their lives per day due to forces of nature between 1990 and 2021

Between 1990 and 2021, more than 5.11 lakh deaths were recorded due to the forces of nature. On average, 44 persons lost their lives per day to the forces of nature. About 72% of the victims were males, and 27.8% were females. Data on transgenders was included in 2014 only, and account for a minuscule share of victims. 

There is no specific trend in deaths due to forces of nature since 1990. This is because of the varying frequency and intensity of natural calamities. However, in the 20 years period between 1996 and 2015, over 4.33 lakh deaths were recorded, out of the total 5.11 lakh deaths reported in 32 years. That is, nearly 85% of the deaths due to forces of nature between 1990 and 2021, took place between 1996 and 2015. On average, 21,662 deaths due to forces of nature were recorded each year or 56 deaths were recorded a day in the period between 1996 and 2015.
