Dear Sir/Madam,
Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), GoI through its Development Partnership Administration (DPA-II) coordinates several development programmes for developing countries. Among other programmes, it coordinates the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme that provides technical training to ITEC partner countries.
Presently only three CSIR institutes provide training programmes under (ITEC) Scheme of the MEA. These are
a) CSIR-CSIO - 6 courses (open to all ITEC countries) related to Operation, Maintenance, and Calibration / Repair and Policies of Biomedical Equipment; Operation, Maintenance and repair of Analytical equipment; Management Development Program on PLC and Industrial Automation and Management Development Program on Energy Management System and Instrumentation
b) CSIR- IIP (since 2018) – 3 courses (2 open to all and 1 for Mongolia on special request) related to Petroleum Refining Operations, Technology & Petrochemicals and the Testing of Petroleum & Petroleum Products & Operation & Maintenance of CFR Engine
c) CSIR-NIO (since 2018/2019) – 4 courses as announced by Hon’ble Prime Minister in Commonwealth Heads of Govt. Meeting in 2018 (targeted for the Commonwealth SIDS Researchers but open to all) related to Remote sensing applications on the coastal zone management; Port Environment and Engineering studies; Multibeam Survey training (shallow multi beam); Ballast Water Management
Through several interactive meetings, MEA was acquainted with the trainer potential of CSIR in various industrial sectors. MEA suggested conducting a course on Environment Impact Assessment by CSIR-NEERI (forwarded to the MEA in March 2020) as also in Mining, Leather, civil infrastructure sectors. Accordingly, CSIR-CLRI and CSIR-CMERI and CSIR-CBRI were requested to suggest appropriate course modules.
MEA in its in-line email has invited training proposals for conducting short term training courses under ITEC during FY 2022-23. CSIR Institutes may consider submitting proposals both for offline (regular ITEC) and online (E-ITEC courses) clearly mentioning the possibility of switching from offline to online mode for courses along with financials, if COVID situation persists.
Please refer the inline email of the MEA for details. ISTAD will be happy to provide any information/ assistance you may like in developing the progammes.
With kind regards,
Rama
