Dear Sir,
"First of all, I would like to sincerely thank the Government of India, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India, the ITEC section, and the Indian Embassy in Tajikistan and all the staff of BIRD, Dr Deshpande, the Director and Dr Sharma and Dr Reddy, our two programme coordinators who have made our visit to India very fruitful both in terms of learning from the Indian Experience on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development.
I also would like to thanks staff of BIRD for very kind hospitability. Even though I was far away from my country, tanks to staff of BIRD I filled myself as at home. Thanks to this project I got knowledge on the concept of inclusive development and role of credit in inclusive development/growth, the key institutions /initiatives of India, which facilitated development of Indian rural financial system (Government of India (GOI), Reserve Bank of India, (RBI), National Bank of Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) and Rural Financial Institutions (RFIs),the challenges and way out in financial inclusion space in India and lessons for ITEC member countries, the financial inclusion interventions of NABARD as well as other institutions and lessons for ITEC member countries and the key concepts of agricultural projects. I’m very happy that BIRD organized Yoga for course participants. This is very helpful for me. After India, I’m training Yoga at home with my family. It should be noted that Field visit was also very helpful for me. In this visit I interacted with farmers, entrepreneurs. Also, I’m very thankful for the organized concert of India Culture. It again confirmed how Indian culture is reach and diverse. Recently, I had a meeting in my Bank with senior officials and we discussed that I will apply obtained knowledge in India in our Bank.
Many thanks again for all who was involved and assisted us in this course. Hope we will meet you again in Tajikistan or in magnificent India!”

Dear Sir,
“I wish to thank the Government of India, especially the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of India, the ITEC section, and the Indian Embassy in Mauritius and all the staff of BIRD, more specifically Dr Deshpande, the Director and Dr Sharma and Dr Reddy, our two programme coordinators who have made our visit to India very fruitful both in terms of learning from the Indian Experience on Agriculture, Fisheries and Rural Development, experience sharing with my fellow countrymates, providing a pleasant atmosphere for interaction and cordial living among the participants from varied backgrounds, and above all showcasing the wealth of Indian Culture in terms of the values, traditions, languages and the places of Interest.
This would be an experience that I will never forget all my life given the knowledge received and time spent with my mates, lecturers and the BIRD family as a whole. To tell you the truth, I never thought to visit my roots which is from India. But now, my conception of India has radically changed and I can say that I am a proud ambassador of India in Mauritius now. I am very proud of my roots, where long time ago, my ancestors came from Bihar in India to work as indentured labourers in the sugar cane fields in Mauritius. Through hard work, savings, investment in education and belief in our values, we have been able to succeed and form part of the elite in Mauritius, for which I am very proud. The blessings of the Indian Government have always been on Mauritius, be it in good and bad times and we hope that this bond would be everlasting between the two countries. As a Government Official, on behaIf of Mauritius, I express my sincere gratitude to the Indian Government who is still helping us and we have indeed much to learn from the land of our forefathers.
The PIO Card is an opportunity to bring the Indian Diaspora close to its roots and I salute this initiative of the Government of India also. Please accept my sincere appreciation of the ITEC initiative, which meant a lot for me. I hope to see you sometime here in Mauritius.”

Dear Sir,
“I wish to place on record my appreciation and thankfulness for the “Netherlands Exposure Visit” which was recently arranged by BIRD. The visit was exceptionally well organised and empowering. It not only provided me with an exposure to the hi-tech practices of Netherlands in agriculture, floriculture, dairy farming, organic farming, etc., but also to an entirely different culture and economy.
The visit provided some valuable insights through personal interactions with entrepreneurs and farmers….I am hopeful and enthusiastic about exploiting this information and knowledge professionally in future….I once again thank BIRD for arranging this exposure visit in such a hassle-free manner and appreciate all efforts made by the Programme Director in making this programme successful and memorable for the participants.”
