Why it matters
The commitment of external aid relates to the Department for International Development's broader efforts in tackling rural poverty in India. Reports suggest that India views external assistance as needing to genuinely add value to its own domestic efforts rather than serving as primary development funding.
The Department for International Development is involved in tackling rural poverty in India and developing flood action plans in Bangladesh.
