The India High Commission, Indian Association of Ghana and the Confederation of Governance Assessment Institute (COGAI) in collaboration with Rectitude International Mission (RIM) will host a week-long celebration.  Dubbed ‘Ghaha-Indian Festival and Awards, Summit 2019’, it will be held under the theme ‘Indians in Africa celebrating decades of impact.’ This festival organisers say is long overdue since the warm historic bond between India and Ghana is over hundred years old dating back to Ghana’s First Republic.  In a Ghana Investment Promotion Council report, Indians are currently one of the biggest vibrant investors in Ghana. The organizer’s objectives for the festival and awards summit are to create a platform for new businesses and partnerships, explore non-traditional export and ICT educational opportunities. It will also be an opportunity to experience and share cultural differences, to explore and initiate Ghana/India film collaborations and to consolidate the already cordial relationship between the two countries. A combination of Ghanaian and Indian executives/personalities and companies will participate in the festival basically meant to strengthen the partnership and solidarity that exist between the two countries and Africa in general.  Notable dignitaries of state from Ghana such as the Tourism Minister, Foreign Minister, Indian High Commissioner to Ghana and other dignitaries from India and Africa will be there.   There will be cultural displays and choreographed contemporary dances at the Ghana-India Co-existence Summit. Great talents and acrobatic skills will be displayed by renowned cultural troupes in Ghana with popular Ghanaian dances to be performed by the country’s celebrated dance troupes from Southern Ghana on the first day. The day's euphoria will be heightened by great performances from the Indian community and different traditional drumming and drum rhythms which communicate important messages on special occasions about unity, bravery and initiation into adulthood, among others. This music/dance ceremony, together with the Indian performances will make this festival a greatly colourful and memorable one as diverse cultural repertoires will be performed by both countries. This will be followed by the Trade and Investment Summit where participating businesses/companies will have the opportunity to exhibit their operations, products, services, interact with the general public and exchange ideas.  There will be a display of Ghana’s best crafts and artefacts. This will be interspersed with beautiful Ghanaian and Indian music. At the Ghana-India Education Fair, much of India’s progress, especially in ICT education will be opened to students and the general public. The Fair is to share ideas on relative developmental interests, specifically in ICT, general academic exchange programmes and highlight the available Indian grants/scholarships for higher or professional studies.  It will also throw light on opportunities in herbal medicine studies, part-time courses as well as opportunities in film/theatre studies with possible academic exchange programmes. There will also be the ‘Gandhi-Nkrumah Night of Reckoning’. It will be a night of great discussions and reminisces of ideas, talents, achievements and great feats accomplished by two history-makers and fighters of colonialism. A Ghanaian representative will present speeches about Dr Kwame Nkrumah. A similar presentation will be made on behalf of Indians to bring into the limelight the flawless life of Mahatma Gandhi in his extraordinary pursuit to deliver Indians from their colonial master, the British. This will be a remarkably memorable and extraordinary night with the presence of Ministers from Ghana and notable personalities from India, including the High Commissioner of India to Ghana, Shri Birender Singh Yadav. A few Indian and Ghanaian songs will be performed live to add colour to this unforgettable and distinguished festival night.
