Ugandan prez lauds Indian Army's advise to UPDF on curriculum

The Indian Army is advising Uganda People's Defence Forces (UPDF) in curriculum revision and capability building, an effort lauded by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, according to a statement today.
The current Indian Military Advisory and Training Team is deployed at the Senior Command and Staff College (SCSC) in Jinja, Uganda since April 2016.
"Their contributions to the curriculum revision, student assimilation enhancement and capability building of the local directing staff have been appreciated by no less than the President of Uganda," the statement released by the Army said.
The team, through its rapport and positive interaction, has been successful in mobilising the local Indian community in provisioning a state of art gymnasium to the SCSC, it said.

The equipment for the gymnasium, worth more than USD 30,000, has been imported from Dubai.
The gymnasium was inaugurated by Ravi Shankar, the High Commissioner of India to Uganda, and then handed over to the Chief of the Uganda People's Defence Forces, Gen. David Muhoozi.
Muhoozi, while accepting the same, hailed it as a "one of kind asset for the entire UPDF".
The General also thanked the Indian contingent for its contribution towards the UPDF.
