The
Government of India is giving Commonwealth citizens the opportunity to
attend fully-funded training courses across a range of areas, including
rural development, IT, telecommunications and renewable energy, in
association with the Commonwealth Secretariat.
The
courses are sponsored by the Government of India and delivered by
Indian institutions through the Indian Technical and Economic (ITEC)
Programme. ITEC is part of the Commonwealth Secretariat’s Third Country
Training Programmes, which aims to build capacity in member countries by
providing specialist training in key areas of development work.
“I
would like to thank the Government of India for providing this
excellent opportunity for Commonwealth citizens to develop and hone
their skills and expertise in areas which are crucial for sustainable
development,” said Pauline Campbell, Head of Technical Assistance at the
Commonwealth Secretariat.
She
added: “This is a fantastic opportunity for those in the public and
private sectors, as well those who work with NGOs. I encourage you to
check the eligibility criteria and send your application early, in order
to meet the deadlines.”
The Government of India has allocated 30 places for participants from Commonwealth member states for the 2016-2017 Programme.
