Discourse has been commenced to enhance the disaster resiliency of Commerce and Industry sector stakeholders associated with Lalitpur Chamber Of Commerce and Industry (LCCI). From the disaster risk management perspectives, private sector entities have a two-fold role in building resilience in their businesses and contributing as a part of corporate social responsibility in enhancing community resilience.
