December 24 , 2017 2557 days 980 0
Ministry of External Affairs launched a new programme called SAMEEP which stands for Students and MEA Engagement Programme.
The main objective of SAMEEP is to take Indian foreign policy and its global engagements to students across the country.
Under this programme, all the ministry officers - under-secretary and above will be asked to go to their hometowns, particularly their alma maters. They will be expected to interact with the students about the way the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) works, basic elements of its policies, how diplomacy is conducted, and generally give students an idea of what a career in the MEA would look like.
The agenda of the programme is not only to make students interested and aware of India's place in the world and its global ambitions, but also to drive interest in diplomacy as a career option.
