The Government of India’s approach to development is mainly human-centric and is marked by Respect, Diversity, Care for the future, and Sustainable development. India has been sharing its developmental experiences and technical expertise with other countries in the spirit of "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam”.
India’s fundamental principle in cooperation is respecting development partners and being guided by their development priorities.
Indian model of developmental cooperation is comprehensive and involves multiple instruments including grant-in-aid, line of credit, capacity building and technical assistance. Depending on the priorities of partner countries, India’s development cooperation ranges from commerce to culture, energy to engineering, health to housing, IT to infrastructure, sports to science, disaster relief and humanitarian assistance to restoration and preservation of cultural and heritage assets.
Towards this end, Government of India is providing technical and financial assistance for multi-sectoral development of Nepal.
