NGOs should take part in Nepal's rehabilitation: Arun Jaitley

New Delhi: Non-government organisations (NGO) should participate in the rehabilitation of earthquake-hit Nepal, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said on Sunday.

"After relief, the rehabilitation process in Nepal should start and NGOs should participate in the process," Jaitley said, flagging off a relief consignment to Nepal here.

"There is a principle of rehabilitation. Quality of life of those who have survived must improve as compared to what it was earlier," he added.

"India`s disaster management capacity has improved. We rescued people from Iraq, Yemen and Nepal. Earlier, only the US had expertise in disaster management," the finance minister said.
