ICPE Meets NIFM Director Gupta

ICPE Director of Projects, Mr Uros Zver, traveled to Faridabad, State of Haryana, to meet with Mr G.P. Gupta, Director of the National Institute for Financial Management, under the Indian Ministry of Finance.

The two discussed ways of improving current ICPE-NIFM programs, including exploring the possibilities for bilateral fellowships and a possible 2-day joint workshop to be held at NIFM in February or March 2010.

The National Institute of Financial Management (NIFM) was set up in 1993 on the basis of a proposal made by Ministry of Finance, which was approved by the Union Cabinet. The Union Cabinet envisaged that NIFM would begin as a training institution for officers recruited by the Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) through the annual Civil Service Examinations and allocated to the various services responsible for manning senior and top management posts dealing with accounts and finance in the Government of India.
