A mock drill is a practice exercise that is conducted to prepare for a potential disaster or emergency situation. It is a simulation of a real-life scenario that helps individuals and organizations to test their emergency response plans and identify areas for improvement. The term "mock drill" is used in Hindi as well and is spelled as "मॉक ड्रिल".

Mock drills can be conducted for various types of disasters such as earthquakes, floods, fires, and terrorist attacks. They are usually carried out in schools, hospitals, government offices, and other public places to ensure that people are prepared to handle emergency situations. During a mock drill, participants are trained to respond to the emergency situation, evacuate the area, and provide first aid to the injured.

Mock drills are an essential part of disaster management and can help save lives in case of a real emergency. They also help to raise awareness about the importance of emergency preparedness and encourage people to take necessary precautions to protect themselves and others in case of a disaster.
