It has been observed throughout the world that during the recent years, the incidents of natural calamities are increasing day by day. And everyone knows that due to the disturbance/Imbalance in environment, these calamities are occurring everywhere. The recent incident of July, 2013 of Uttarakhand (INDIA) can be quoted here. But on the other hand, at the adjoining place in Uttarakhand, the famous place related to Chipko Movement (Hug the Trees Movement) of 1970-73 where no such causality is reported so far explains many things here. But the question arises here is that the present nature of development and Sustainable Development is the real cause for the same or not. Further, the researcher intends to study that alongwith the development, the concept of Disaster Management should also be developed so that if in near future such (e.g. Uttarakhand) type of situations arises how the precious lives can be saved by providing them medical and other necessary facilities at that moment for their survival. So question arises here that the present form of development is for whom and for what purpose and at what cost or at the cost of humanity or we need to redefine the concept of Sustainable Development in our own comfort zone. The present paper deals with eight parts with the introduction, a case study of Uttarakhand Tragedy with what went wrong during the same and what the Gandhian Scholars of that region have to say on this. The next part deals with the need for the disaster management and its action plan with the future suggestions. In the end the researcher has tried to bring the ground realties also after the tragedy and how in the present the same kind or worst situations are handled after learning the new lessons. Most of the data for this article is collected through the newspapers (e-additions), stories coming up from different segments and through personal visits to the affected areas.
