Ans: Respected chairperson and all the senior and junior attendants,

It's my pleasure to have this wonderful chance to talk on the most relevant and important topic of the time at present. As the present world has been facing tough challenges in every sector we are concerned with. The condition of the underdeveloped and developing countries is yet vulnerable and inexplicable. I represent this kind of country which has a complex kind of poverty and backwardness. It's all because of lacking such efficient manpower that we require making wise utilization of our rich and abundant natural resources. Our whole system is responsible to jeopardize our condition. We have been left far behind in promoting our country and ourselves. The ratio of our population and the produced or available human resources has an unmatchable bitter data. Remaining unproductive despite huge potentialities Is an alarming condition. The produced human resource has a growing trend of draining abroad for better opportunities, career and security of their lives. So, I think it is an utmost need that the government and the concerned authorities should address upon the production of manpower and adjusting them in their country with better opportunities.

On the other hand, we should not ignore the contribution of the CTEVT in bringing the rays of optimism through its role played in providing training of vocational subjects. I would suggest that this trusted organization should not be the part of dirty politicalization in its policy promoting and operational activities.
