Indrawattie Natram and Pandit Deodat Persaud, two young professional alumnus of the Know India Programme (KIP), were selected by India’s High Commission to represent Guyana virtually on the KIP dialogue forum scheduled for today.
The dialogue will be held at 19:00 hours India time.
Natram of Region Two, a journalist and radio broadcaster, and Pandit Persaud, a former Ethnic Relations Commissioner and Youth Leader from Region six, both said that they are excited to represent Guyana and deemed their KIP experiences to be life-changing. “It’s great to share my experience. Visiting India and tracing back my Indian ancestry was the greatest thing I did, it was a dream came through,” Natram said. As part of the programme, both Natram and Persaud visited India; Persaud on the 40th KIP in 2016, while Natram visited on the 44th KIP, November, 2017. Both will narrate their KIP programme’s experiences, including expanding on the personal, professional and cultural take aways from the programme.
