The nation’s symbol of progress — the Delhi Metro, which was built with the assistance of the Japanese Government, has been awarded with this year’s Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) President Award for its contributions to Indo-Japan ties.
Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) chief Mangu Singh received the award at a function on Monday in the presence of Shinya Ejima, chief representative of JICA; Hiroshi Suzuki, senior representative of JICA and MP Singh, additional chief development specialist.
The new age transport system was chosen in recognition of its outstanding contribution to the development of human resources, society and the economy in India and to the enhancement of friendly relations and mutual understanding between India and Japan. The JICA President Award is given either to an individual or an organisation that is associated with JICA and whose contribution in the field of development is recognised to be of immense significance in a developing society.
Delhi Metro was built with financial assistance from JICA. In the past, the award has mostly been given to Japanese organisations involved in research, social work and medical service.
