Mr. Karma, who was accompanied by Mr. Tshering Namgyal, Head of Human
Resources, Bank of Bhutan, said they were interested in training for
both junior as well as mid career staff at the Bank. “By the end of
next month, all our bank branches would be computerized and we will be
implementing core banking solutions,” Mr. Karma said. This requires
that our staff should upgrade their skills and we look towards AIT in
this regard, he added.
Prof. Said Irandoust, President, AIT, while interacting with the
delegation from the Bank of Bhutan revealed that the Government of
Bhutan is keen to engage with AIT and they have already communicated
their desire to AIT. Prof. Joydeep Dutta, Vice President for Academic
Affairs, suggested that apart from AIT’s School of Management (SOM),
AIT Consulting and AIT Extension could offer short term courses to Bank
officials. He also requested the delegation to partnership AIT’s
Habitech Center which offers unique housing solutions. Dr. Pritam
Krishna Shrestha, Head, External Relations and Communications Office
(ERCO) floated the possibility of the Bank providing educational loans
to students who wish to study at AIT. Mr. Tenzin Rabgyal, Senior
Program Officer, ERCO also joined the meeting.
