Minister of
State for CAAD, Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary has said that training classes will
be launched in Mera Bhegwal Polytechnic Institute from next month after a lapse
of twenty-seven years. The training courses will be made in collaboration with
the Construction Technology Training Institute (CTTI) an attached organization
working under the Ministry of Communication. CTTI is a renowned technical
training institute and has a wide range of technical training courses. Its trained
diploma and certificate holders are serving at high level technical positions
in the length and breadth of country.
Minister of
State for CADD, Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhary, met with Minister for Communications
Junaid Anwar and proposed to run the Mera Bhegwal College on the lines of CTTI.
Director of CTTI and Director General FWO visited the college along with the
Minister of CADD and decided to make the college operational in October this
year with mutual consultation.
It was
decided that in the first phase, three-year courses of civil, electrical and
computer will be offered, while mechanical and other courses will be launched
from next year. For the first year, all the arrangements for the courses will
be made by CTTI and FWO, while from next year, CADD will get funding from the
federal budget for the technical institute.
According to
details, Mera Bhegwal technical college could not start classes for twenty
seven years for a variety of reasons. A few years back, Dr Tariq Fazal
Chaudhary tried to activate the organization, so that a national asset could be
utilized for the maximum benefit of students.
Due to the
efforts of Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry an MoU was signed between CADD and Allama
Iqbal Open University but Allama Iqbal Open University could not launch
training for various administrative and financial problems.
CADD and
Ministry of Communication will sign an MoU for issuing training courses in Mera
Bhegwal Polytechnic Institute in the next few days under which CTTI/FWO will
start classes from next month. The two sides agreed that the children of the
area will be given priority in admissions in the training courses.
Mera Bhegwal
Training Institute will help develop technical workforce for the CPEC as well.
Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry congratulated the people of Mera Bhegwal, Pind
Bhegwal, Phulgran and the whole of Islamabad for the activation of technical
institute after a lapse of twenty seven years which will enable the children of
the area to secure respectable livelihood.
Short-term
courses will be also be launched in evening in the institute. Dr. Tariq Fazal
Chaudhry specially thanked the Minister for Communications, CTTI and DG FWO for
their cooperation and support. Dr. Tariq Fazal Chaudhry will request Prime
Minister Pakistan Shahid Khaqan Abbasi for a regular opening of the college next month.
