Indian embassy trains South Sudanese officers on solar energy

[Sponsored Content] Eight government officials from the Ministry of Energy and Dams, Ministry of Environment and Forestry and South Sudan Electricity Corporation attended an online training course on solar energy technologies conducted by India’s National Institute of Solar Energy.

The candidates attended the course at the Indian Embassy premises that was sponsored by the Government of India under the ITEC scholarship programme from March 15 to March 19.

Second Secretary in the Embassy S K Rajoria urged the candidates to put into practice the acquired skills of clean power generation through solar energy.

He also requested the officials to disseminate the information of such capacity building courses offered by Indian Embassy to their other colleagues in the government to avail the opportunity.

This year, the Indian Embassy decided to organise online courses for the benefit of the South Sudan government officials, as pandemic prevented the embassy from sending the candidates for capacity building training courses to India, as in the past.

The candidates appreciated the opportunity given to them by the embassy through the online courses which they found highly beneficial in their field of work.
