Vietnamese students who have received Indian scholarships under the ITEC program since 1996 were invited to come to Friday’s ITEC Day 2010 which was held at the HCMC General Sciences Library in District 1.
The ITEC program started in 1964 as an assistance program to developing countries. The program aims to share India’s socio-economic and technical achievements with other developing countries. The program helps these nations in building up skilled manpower, augmenting financial resources and transferring technology. The program consists of training courses, consultancy services and feasibility studies, study tours, donation of technical equipment and aid for disaster relief.
The ITEC training program extends to many developing countries with 5,000 scholarships having been granted. These schools conduct over 200 short, medium and long- term courses every year.
Annually, 75 ITEC scholarships are offered to southern Vietnam, and since 1996, there have been a total of 362. The most popular courses that Vietnamese scholars are interested in are information technology, English language, financial management, agricultural practices, environmental technology and biotechnology. About 10 scholarships annually for long-term degree courses in Indian history, economics, and politics are granted to provinces and cities in the south of Vietnam.
