ITEC Scholarship recipients, journalists visit India

TWO young Guyanese were selected to travel to India to participate in the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme.

The ITEC programme began in 1964 as part of the Government of India’s development experiences with fellow developing countries based on partnership and cooperation for mutual benefit.

Selected was Ria Bisnauth, a Special Project Officer with the Guyana Forestry Commission. Hailing from Cummings Lodge, Georgetown, she will be travelling to Indiranagar, Bengaluru to commence a two-week Climate Change Policy Development and Financing Course at the Environment Protection Training and Research Institute.

Kumar Kissoon, a Finance Manager with Teleperformance Guyana from Campbellville, Georgetown, will begin his two-week course on Dynamics of High Performing Team in Small and Medium at the Jaipuria Institute of Management in Lucknow.

On March 14, 2023, Bisnath and Kissoon met and interacted with Indian High Commissioner to Guyana, His Excellency Dr. KJ Srinivasa, before travelling to India to commence their respective training.

During their discussion, the High Commissioner congratulated and briefed both participants while they expressed sincere gratitude for the opportunity.

On the same day, Vishani Ragobeer, a journalist with News Room Inc. hailing from East Coast Demerara – now in India on an invitation from the Government of India for a one-week familiarization tour for LAC Journalists – met the High Commissioner.

Apart from Ragobeer, Theresa Gordon, a journalist and news producer from NEWSCO Limited (OBSERVER Group), Antigua & Barbuda and Adelcia Connor-Ferlance, Press Secretary within the Office of the Prime Minister of St. Kitts and Nevis, were also selected for the programme and have reached India.

The programme will give the participants a wide range of experience and interaction with the political, economic, cultural, and educational and media sectoral leadership, as well as exposure to modern India as a whole.

The High Commission of India urges all Guyanese to use the opportunity and begin their training at some of the most prestigious universities in India in various sectors.
