The sustained and forceful campaign to clear mines and the Explosive Remnants of War(ERW) led by the UN has influenced all aspects of Sarvatra from its philosophy to its management structure. To help support the UN efforts, Sarvatra has tapped into the expertise available in the Indian Armed Forces - which have been actively engaged in anti-mine strategies since World War II. The experience of WW II has been followed by protracted conflicts with a neighbouring country and internal insurgency conditions in some indian states. This had led the Indian Army to continuously update and improve its procedures to deal not only with mines but also with UXO, IEDs and Booby Traps. Because of their very relevent expertise, Sarvatra personnel are predominantly drawn from the Indian Army, Paramilitary Forces, National Security Guards and Special Forces.
