An earthquake measuring 7.8 hit Nepal's Gorkha district on April 25, 2015, claiming over 9,000 lives and damaged around 5,00,000 buildings.
The Nepal Reconstruction Authority (NRA) organised an online interaction between representatives of donor agencies, reconstruction experts and government officials to mark the occasion.
The aim of the web conference was reportedly to make the process of reconstruction effective and institutionalise the learnings from it.
