The Embassy of India celebrated 55th anniversary of Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Day in Kathmandu today.
Minister for Federal Affairs and General Administration of Nepal Lalbabu Pandit was the chief guest of the celebrations. Ambassador of India to Nepal Manjeev Singh Puri, on the occasion, noted that the ITEC programme has been pivotal in training senior officers and other officials from various ministries and departments of Nepal at India’s most premier institutions. “The programme has tremendously contributed towards skill up-gradation and human resources development in Nepal,” he said.
About 150 ITEC alumni attended the celebrations. ITEC Programme is fully funded by the Government of India to share India’s developmental experience with 161 friendly developing countries, including Nepal.
The training courses are in the fields of computers, engineering, information technology, journalism, banking, legislation, power, remote sensing, manpower research, education, empowerment of women, hydrology, law enforcement, business planning and promotion, accounts and finance.
A number of Nepali institutions have benefitted from special tailor-made ITEC course designed based on their specific needs. For example this year, 62 officials of Finance Ministry participated in a Public Finance Management course at the Institute of Government Accounts and Finance (INGAF) in New Delhi. Similarly, another special tailor-made ITEC course on Investigation and Control of Revenue Leakage was held in 2 batches for 50 Department of Revenue Investigation (DRI) officials at National Academy of Customs Excise, Indirect Taxes and Narcotics (NACIN) in Faridabad in March 2019. Similarly, 60 Nepali officials are currently being trained on Anti Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism at NACIN. In addition, a total of 34 Nepali water resources experts are pursuing their MTech in the fields of irrigation water management, Hydrology, Alternative Energy and water resources development at the prestigious IIT in Roorkee.
