President Ram Nath Kovind said under the National Education Policy released in 2020, India is planning to start new Indian Institutes of Technology abroad.
India is ready to partner with Jamaica and share its technical skills, knowledge and expertise which could transform the Caribbean country's education and businesses, President Ram Nath Kovind has said, expressing confidence that convergences and complementarities between the two nations will be mutually beneficial.
Addressing the joint sitting of both Houses of Parliament of Jamaica on May 17, Mr. Kovind said: "Fifteen thousand kilometres away from India, I feel very much at home before you. And why should I not, when this House has many distinguished members with Indian lineage." The President said Jamaica has welcomed Indians with open arms and given them dignity and respect. As a result, not just politics; but business, music, sports, dress, and food have all witnessed a rich Indian presence.
Mr. Kovind said Jamaica's strategic position in the vicinity of some of the largest global economies, and its talented pool of English-speaking youth, provide it with an excellent opportunity to become a 'knowledge highway' and benefit from the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
"India shares Jamaica's ‘Vision 2030’ goals of empowering its people and ensuring a secure, cohesive, and just society while becoming a prosperous and sustainable economy," Mr. Kovind said.
"India is ready to partner with Jamaica and share its technical skills, knowledge and expertise which could transform Jamaica's education and businesses.
"Top Jamaican businesses already source software and take backroom technical support from technology companies based in India," Mr. Kovind said, adding India is poised to become a knowledge economy that creates, disseminates and utilises knowledge to promote growth and development.
"With ample natural resources, strategic location, young population and dynamic leadership, Jamaica is poised for even greater economic success.," the President said.
