4 more officers selected for ITEC scholarships in India

Four more officers have been selected as part of the Police and military training courses being offered by the Government of India under the Indian Technical and Economic Cooperation (ITEC) Programme.
The recipients are Assistant Commissioner of Police, Fazil Karimbaksh; Staff Sergeant Dork Pompey of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) along with Sergeant Jamal Cambridge and Corporal Dennis Pompey.
The three GDF officers were chosen for a two-month General Intelligence and Security Course at the Military Intelligence Training School in Pune, Maharashtra while Karimbaksh will take a one-week course on Economic Offences at the premier Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad.
The four officers recently called on Indian High Commissioner to Guyana, Dr KJ Srinivasa during which they were briefed on the courses, ongoing partnership between India and Guyana and more so, they were advised on the details and logistics of these training programmes.
The ITEC Programme comprises short-term courses at prestigious institutions in India to selected partner countries across the world. In 2022, 19 officers attached to the GDF were selected to study in India and for 2023, Guyana was allocated 46 slots, of which seven were utilised.
The GPF utilised seven slots last year and three for this year, thus far. The Government of India will continue to foster and build its relationship with the Government of Guyana.
