NITO to host CIITA in August

Following the crucial meeting of Confederation of Indian IT Associations (CIITA) in Kolkata on May 5 on the sidelines of the 15th Compass IT Fair, the confederation will be holding its next meeting in Siliguri.

Scheduled on August 18, North Bengal IT Traders Organization (NITO) will be hosting all participating associations and is holding an Executive Committee meeting on May 11 to deliberate over key pointers for the forthcoming meeting, as well as make the necessary preparations for the event.

"We will be hosting the CIITA meeting scheduled in August and to make the necessary preparations as well as discuss the key points of concern, we will be holding an Executive Committee meeting on May 15," said Sankar Dhar, executive committee member, NITO.

In the recent CIITA meeting, four representatives from NITO attended the meet including past and present presidents of the association.

In the last meeting, CIITA passed a resolution related to the national distributor's policy which is poised to play an instrumental role in the ongoing conflict between North-East IT Traders Association (NECTA) and Rashi Peripherals. NECTA initiated the framework for the national distributor policy which was upheld and later taken up by CIITA at their conference in Guwahati.

"The last CIITA meeting was very fruitful, as well as crucial where key decisions pertaining to channel trade were discussed in details and a common opinion was framed related to the ND policy. I hope in the next meeting in Siliguri, other key trade issues will be taken up," Dhar concluded.
