| Abstract | Recent tragedies such as Sichuan Earthquake have revealed a need for methods to evaluate and plan for the impact of extreme events on critical infrastructure. Management of our critical infrastructures is a vital component of our economic and social life. Faced with catastrophic economic and human losses accumulating in each passing decade, development policy makers are demanding credible and complete data on disasters. The high degree of dependency and interdependency that exists between sectors of infrastructure requires that the whole system be considered when assessing the impacts of such events or evaluating methods of intervention. Modeling systems can potentially provide a number of benefits in the process of risk assessment and evaluation of risk mitigation methods. This paper frames the various threats to sustainable infrastructure and summarizes the state of the art for measuring sustainable performance with indicators, to which these infrastructures are interdependent, due to increasing system complexity and technology, further complicates the task of infrastructure managers to maintain service. Critical connections between infrastructure systems, whether direct or indirect, pose a risk of one disruption causing a ripple effect across the economy. This paper summarizes the methods of extreme risk analysis of financial modeling framework basing on economic Input-Output method. Beyond the extensive discussion on assessing the risk of disaster to the interdependent infrastructures and economic sectors, the management of such risks is also discussed extensively in this paper. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
