Kathmandu. Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport Devendra Dahal has said that there is a need for skilled technicians and quality education to establish a strong economy. He said that producing skilled technicians would help in creating self-employment in the country and also help in import substitution.
Addressing the 37th anniversary of the Council for Technical Education and Vocational Training-CTEVT today, he emphasized the need to produce skilled technicians through skilled education and technology transfer. Noting that even highly educated youth are going abroad for employment, he also mentioned that if vocational and technical education can be provided along with theoretical education, this will be reduced.
Mentioning that CTEVT is reaching out to various rural areas of the country and providing technical education and vocational training, Minister Dahal said that attention should also be paid to making the trained and educated manpower self-reliant and professional in the country.
During the program, he also observed stalls of various materials and equipment built by students of various schools of the council through practical skills. Certificates of appreciation were given to students and retired employees who scored the best marks, while Minister Dahal also launched a journal published by the council.
In the program chaired by Council Member Secretary Mahesh Bhattarai, speakers drew the attention of the minister and the government to formulate timely laws for the council.
