Minister for Education, Science and Technology Ashok Rai today said the goals could be achieved if agencies and people in all sectors fulfilled their respective responsibilities.
Inaugurating the 41st management seminar of the Council of Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT) organised here today in Banepa, the minister said goals could be reached if all people fulfilled their responsibilities.
He directed the employees to be sincere, active and dedicated to the service of the state while expanding their efficacies. The government has set a goal of building capital and managing human resources along with the economic prosperity of the country."The council's job is not to allocate affiliations, he claimed. The council's job is not to distribute affiliations. How affiliations have been distributed? Why those organisations that paid for the same 16 years ago have yet to get affiliations?" he said. He underscored the need to study and move forward the work done by the previously formed taskforce.
Similarly, Ramesh Chandra Paudel, a member of the National Planning Commission, complained that the restructuring infrastructure of the CTEVT was not done properly. He also suggested that required technical workforce should be prepared for the consumption and marketing of materials produced locally.
Other speakers including the CTEVT member secretary Mahesh Bhattarai, joint secretary of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology Shiva Kumar Sapkota, and Chief District Officer Rudra Devi Sharma reviewed the achievements and urged the linkage of country's potential with employment opportunities.
Others present on the occasion were CTEVT heads of seven provinces and heads of 65 CTEVT constituent educational institutions, informed the CTEVT vice chairperson Khagendra Prasad Adhikari. There are 1,100 operating educational institutions affiliated with the CTEVT across the country, he said.
