India is biggest donor to Nepal
India has emerged as the largest donor to Nepal after the massive earthquake that hit the mountain kingdom in April this year. Total worldwide aid has, most recently, amounted to $3.5 billion, out of which India has pledged $1 billion. 

Union External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj pledged India�s contribution at a donor capital in Kathmandu. Nepal�s Prime Minister Sushil Koirala promised that there will be �full transparency� in the use of the funds and that he would make sure that there will be no corruption in the process. 

The Himalayan nation needs a total of $6.7 billion as reconstruction costs.
