Indian Foreign Secretary Inaugurates Reconstructed Nepal Bhasha Parishad Building

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Nepal's Urban Development Secretary Maniram Gelal inaugurated the Nepal Bhasha Parishad building in Kathmandu, reconstructed under India's aid following the 2015 earthquake. Misri's two-day visit aims to enhance bilateral ties, involving meetings with high-level Nepalese officials and discussions on mutual interests.

Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Secretary in Nepal's Urban Development Ministry Maniram Gelal jointly inaugurated a new building of Nepal Bhasha Parishad in Kathmandu, built under India's post-earthquake reconstruction grant.

Misri is on a two-day visit to Nepal to discuss ways to further strengthen bilateral relations between the two nations. The Embassy of India said in a post on X that the building in the Naradevi area of the capital was damaged in the 2015 earthquake.

In alignment with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Ek Ped Ma ke Naam' campaign, Misri planted a sapling of Nili Gulmohar at the Indian mission's complex. The campaign aims to plant 1.4 billion trees by March 2025.
