A panel discussion consisting of 4 IIT AAT members as panellist was held on 1st April 2007 on the topic “Promoting cooperation in technical education between Thailand and India”. H. E. Miss Latha Reddy was the Guest of Honor and our guest speakers were Prof. Numyoot, and Prof. Dr. Chira.

Our Indian Ambassador to Thailand, H. E. Miss Latha Reddy has played key role since beginning in promoting technical cooperation between India and Thailand. She in fact took the initiative to form a steering committee consisting of 7 IIT AAT members and co-chaired by H. E. Miss Latha Reddy herself and Prof. Dr. Chira. The goal of this committee is to work towards promoting interaction between Thai and Indian technological institutes. The 1st meeting of this committee was held on 31st May 2007 and the fruits of everyone's concerted efforts are in front of all of us today.

IITAAT is proud to having played key role and to be part of this very important event of MOU signing between IIT Madras and Rajamagala University of Technology Thanyaburi (RMUTT) as well as RMUT Lanna and we hope to see many more MOUs signed up between other IITs and premium Thai Institutions in near future. IIT AAT would like to express our sincere thanks to one of our senior Alumni, Mr. Lalit Kumar, M. D. of Sunflag Co., for making this happen.

Another important activity of IIT AAT is to promote the ‘Lecture Series’ in Thailand by Indian Academics and Achievers in fields like IT, Science & Technologies in various faculties. 1st Inaugural lecture on the topic “Technology for Development” was held at RMUTT on 24th August 2007.

IIT AAT has also provided the names of about 10-12 IITAAT Alumni to Prof. Numyoot and Prof. Dr. Chira. These IITAAT members have volunteered to give lectures at Institutes in various fields such as Textile and Chemical Engg., Rubber Technology, Chemistry and IT etc..

Some of IITAAT Alumni have expressed willingness to work with Prof. Numyoot and Prof. Chira to guide Thai students chosen for the student exchange program and prepare them beforehand to study along side Indian students and take them through a refresher English course if required so that they can better understand the Indian way of speech.

Lucky Spinning Co., Ltd. has already taken the important step in this direction. Company’s C.O.O. and Group President and our IITAAT Treasurer, Mr. D.Devadas,  organized a half day Business English program for RMUTT students under the able guidance of Dr. Paiboon from RMUTT. 1st such program took place few weeks ago at Lucky Spinning Co.’s office where 40 students got the first hand training from senior executives of the Group including COO himself.  The 2nd training program is planned to take place soon.

Another important project was started by IIT AAT in the month of June, 2007 by setting aside a monthly fund of THB 10,000. as an aid to improve the living conditions of children in the orphanage  Ban Kru Noi in Rajburana area. This project is taken up by our other active Alumni, Mr. Sethu. This commitment is initially for 2 years. Some of us visit Orphanage with family on a quarterly basis to hand over post dated cheques and spend some time with kids by distributing gifts and snacks. Two of our members have generously donated 2 computer sets and printer as well.

The Exhibition showcasing two of the largest Education Fairs from India came to an end on Sunday and in the process witnessed a huge response from the NRIs/ PIOs and Thai nationals equally. They were titled the 4th IIPSE (India International Premier Schools Exhibition) catering to parents of 4 to 18 years old school kids and the IEF (International Education Fair) targeting students between 18 to 25 years. The fairs had been conceived to meet a growing demand for Indian Education in Thailand, considering that every year more than 25,000 students from here travel to India for the same and they include a significant number of local Thais too.

There were almost 25 residential schools, co-educational schools, Indian ICSE & CBSE board affiliated schools & A & O levels international schools with IB or CIE curriculums. They extended complete primary, middle to secondary level education options.

'Knowledge is the best investment that a country on the path to progress can make' & proof of it lies in India's thriving economy. The knowledge revolution has transformed India to such an extent, that Indian expatriates from Europe & the US, are returning in hordes, for better education & job prospects here. The country which many see as a land of opportunities is already ascending as an 'education superpower' today. The fact that Indian education has more demanding standards, gives it's students an edge in competitive exams & a definite international appeal.
 
Allowing parents & students in Thailand to discover more about the strengths of India's legendary educational institutions, will be the 4th IIPSE (India International Premier Schools Exhibition) & the IEF (International Education Fair). Scheduled to be held at Bangkok on 26th & 27th January, these two exhibitions will be the largest of their kinds. Both will be held at 'Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, from 10:00 a.m to 7:00p.m & will double up as unique forums for free, fair, direct, transparent & productive interaction, between parents, students & visiting institution representatives. Thaindian.com is supporting the event.
 
Participants at the 4th IIPSE will cater mainly to parents of school kids between 4 years to 18 years. It  will include Indian & foreign schools, offering international A & O levels with international curriculums like CIE (UK) or International Baccalaureate(Geneva). Some of India's finest residential & co-educational schools with Indian ICSE or CBSE board affiliations, will also showcase themselves here. Together they will offer complete primary, middle & secondary level 'quality' education options at 'affordable' rates in 'culturally rich' & 'student friendly' environments.
 
The IEF on the other hand, will primarily cater to local Thai & Indian expatriate students, aged between 18years to 25 years. It will generate awareness about admission guidelines of   reputed Indian & UAE universities and colleges & thereby benefit students aiming to pursue world class education, at the undergraduate, postgraduate, research, professional or even vocational level.   
 
The aim of holding the two exhibitions simultaneously is to demonstrate the potential of Indian education in drawing international students at primary & higher levels under the same roof. The event is being organized by 'Afairs', India's leading education fair organizers with over 14 years of rich experience, in association with Starcraft Exhibition. The initiative is being supported by TCEB (Thailand Convention & Exhibition Bureau).
