The abbreviation ITEC was elaborated
upon on Wednesday 21 November’12. It was on this day the 48th anniversary
of Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation Programme (ITEC) Day was
celebrated at the Indian Ambassador’s residence.
ITEC was instituted by the
Government of India on 15 September 1964 as a bilateral programme of
assistance. India has made substantial progress and gained useful experience in
industrial and technological development after it regained its freedom in 1947.
The ITEC programme of the Ministry of External Affairs was an earnest attempt
by India to share the fruits of its socio-economic development and
technological achievement with other developing countries. As a result of
various activities under ITEC programme, there is now awareness among other
countries about the competence of India as provider of technical know-how and
expertise as well as training opportunities, consultancy services and
feasibility studies.
There
are 160 partner countries under the ITEC programme and more than 7500 scholars
participate in this programme every year from different countries. There are
150 scholars from Sudan every year that are benefitted from various
professional courses in India under ITEC.
