In 2025, India witnessed over 20 major disasters - from the Dharali flash floods to the floods in Punjab and Maharashtra, placing unprecedented pressure on humanitarian response systems across the country.

In such times, the Sphere Standards serve as a vital compass for ensuring quality, accountability, and dignity in humanitarian action. Grounded in the Humanitarian Charter, Protection Principles, and the Core Humanitarian Standard, they remain the global benchmark for principled and effective response.

Recognizing this critical and growing need for strengthened humanitarian response, Sphere India is hosting a refresher and orientation session to help experienced responders revisit these standards and introduce them to new humanitarian professionals.

Led by Sphere Trainer Mr. Subhashis Roy, the session will explore key foundations, technical chapters, and their practical applications in the field.
