India has given Nepal Rs.374 million to control floods.
The amount will be used to build embankments on three border rivers.
The constructions along the Lalbakeya, Bagmati and Kamla rivers in southern Nepal are being undertaken in accordance with the decisions taken by the India-Nepal Joint Committee on Inundation and Flood Management.
India's Ambassador to Nepal Ranjit Rae handed over a cheque to Nepal's Minister for Energy, Irrigation and Science and Technology Umakant Jha.
The total grant from India for embankment construction to Nepal stands at Rs.2917.68 million.
"India remains committed to continue working closely with Nepal for further cooperation in the field of Water Resources so that this contributes to the development and prosperity of a close and friendly neighbour," a statement from the Indian embassy said.
