Features of the Programme
- The foreign office has asked all its diplomats and officers on leave to travel to their natives and particularly their alma mater.
- Their job would be to engage students in the schools and colleges in the jobs that the ministry is engaged in, so as to give them a fair idea of how India engages with the world, what are its foreign policy priorities and how diplomacy is actually conducted.
- It gives the officer to choose any school or college in their hometown or their alma mater. This is a voluntary program.
Details of the SAMEEP Programme
- The officers would be given a framework and a set of standardized patterns to give the presentation. However, they are also free to improvise and add their personal experiences. The main objective is not only to provide information about India’s engagements and its ambitions but also help them to choose diplomacy as a carrier option.
- There was a similar program for IAS officers where they could go back to the place of first posting to assess its development and make suitable recommendations
- The foreign ministry had crowdsourced it from My Gov portal out of many entries. This Program SAMEEP is the acronym which PM Modi uses much like other programs.
- The External Affairs Ministry has also been quite active on social media websites like Twitter (Twitter Diplomacy) and their team has been answering questions asked by anyone under the ‘Ask the Spokesperson’ program. The minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj has set the precedent and is easily accessible on her Twitter handle helping address issues easily.
