Ambo, Ethiopia: In order to further students’ enthusiasm and ability to dream for a brighter future, the Micro Business College has organized ‘India Show’ at their library hall today (Tuesday, 30 December). The college having branches along predominantly farmer towns of Ambo, Gedo and Woliso in the West Shoa and South-West Shoa zones of Oromia region, is one of the leading private higher education providers in Ethiopia. The exhibition is supported by the Indian Embassy in Addis Ababa and contains a display of streamers depicting India’s inimitable achievements in the areas of manufacturing, food processing, pharmaceuticals, engineering and empowering of villagers in the IT sector. There is also an illustration on the contribution of India in the capacity building and training programmes for the benefit of African nations. Photos and their by-lines make a sumptuous combination to inspire the viewers.

“Ethiopia and India have many similar features. If India could have scripted such shining success in over six decades, it is assumable that there is something emulative for Ethiopia, too”, Mr. Abera Tilhanun, President of the college said while inaugurating the show. “We hope the future of Ethiopia is in the hands of our students and remain optimistic that these students can construct a prosperous Ethiopia when the name India in these by-lines (of these streamers) can well be replaced with the name Ethiopia” he added.  “Our country is fast progressing and we want to enable our students to be forerunners in the ongoing developmental race. Messages of India’s achievements in over six decades would definitely kindle further motivation among them”, he further added. 

Vice Dean of the Micro Business College, Mr. Megersa Nuressa; and Head, President’s Office, Finance & Administration, Mr. Edosa Bayeta spoke on the occasion. The exhibition would continue for a month.
