Bilateral ties between India and Japan are further strengthened with Technical Intern Training Programme (TITP), an initiative by the Government of Japan to provide technical training to youth from India and other countries. Under this program trainees acquire and master skills of the Japanese industries and professions for a maximum of 5 years. On 28th March 2018, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Minister for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE) felicitated partnering institutions and organizations along with the first batch of 22 interns being sent to Japan. MSDE sets a target of 100 partnering institutions to send the interns to Japan.
Speaking on the occasion, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Hon’ble Minister for Petroleum & Natural Gas and Minister for Skill Development & Entrepreneurship (MSDE), said, “I am extremely delighted to have felicitated the first batch and met each and every Intern in person. They are our brand ambassadors for the Programme and an inspiration for future batches. On their return such highly-skilled talent pool will not only bring in international best practices but will strengthen the ‘Make in India’ mission. I wish them success.”
