Amdavad Municipal Corporation (AMC) officials will now join IAS officers on international trips under a new policy approved by the Standing Committee. The move is designed to maximize the benefits for the city by leveraging the extended experience of senior corporation officials.
The new policy will be in effect for upcoming international events, including a significant summit scheduled to be held in Belgium on Oct 7-8, 2024. The summit, titled “Planning for a Sustainable Future: Cities,” aims to address urban planning and sustainability issues.
Deputy Municipal Commissioner Amrutesh Aurangabadkar has been approved to attend the Belgium summit. The costs for participating in the conference will be covered by the organizing body, while any additional expenses will be borne by AMC.
By sending experienced officials abroad, AMC hopes to enhance urban development strategies with the knowledge and skills gained from these global engagements.
