No. 7501. AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE UNITED NATIONS AND CONCERNING THE DEMOGRAPHIC TRAINING AND RESEARCH CENTRE, CHEMBUR, BOMBAY. SIGNED AT NEW DELHI, ON 20 AND 25 !

EXCHANGE OF LETTERS CONSTITUTING AN AGREEMENT 2 EXTENDING THE DURATION OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED AGREEMENT FOR A FURTHER PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS UNTIL 31 . NEW DELHI, 23 JUNE AND 1 Official text : English. Registered ex officio on 19 .

E2/P/D2 23 Sir, I have the honour to refer to the Agreement of 3 between the Govern ment of India and the United Nations concerning assistance to the Demographic Training and Reserach Centre at Chembur, Bombay, until 30 June 1967. As you are, no doubt, aware, the question of further extending the validity of this Agreement has been engaging the attention of the United Nations and the Economic Commission for Asia and the Far East for some time, and I now have the honour to confirm, on behalf of the United Nations, that the United Nations has agreed to the extension of the duration of the Agreement for six months as from 1 July 1967 and, accordingly, to the Agreement©s remaining in force until 31 December 1967, unless of course the Agreement is sooner terminated by either party acting under the provisions of Article VIII. The present six-month extension should therefore be considered as an interim ad-hoc arrangement during which period one expert will be provided out of the UNTA Regular Programs funds for 1967 and six fellowships from AFE regional programme to non-Indian students for the period 1967-68. The United Nations accept, in principle, the provision of UN assistance for a further period, but they are very keen that any extension for the four-year period requested by the Government should be made on the basis of a fresh evaluation of how far the Centre can meet the requirements for training and research for the other countries of the region and for India itself. Conditions with reference to demographic training in many countries of the AFE regions have undergone suffi cient change, since the last agreement was signed, to warrant fresh consultations
