Socio-political circles have appealed to Punjab Chief Minister to take immediate drastic steps for complete overhauling of Technical Education and Vocational Authority (Tevta) from top to bottom. The Tevta has failed to produce skilled and semi-skilled workforce for the industrial sector and had become white elephant and one man was running the organisation on the basis of like and disliking.
On the other hand there was a great need of appointment of capable persons for running the Tevta instead of incapable persons working on contract basis. At present the Tevta was under the clutches of incapable and blue eyed persons and they had ruined the spirit of the authority and people on working contract basis were busy in money making and have least interest with working.
It was very unfortunate that readymade garment department was established in a vocational institute and equipped with machinery but due to unknown reason this department is non-operational and machinery of the department had become rusty and teacher concerned reluctant to perform her duty. Why the readymade garment department was not operational in past six to seven years and the female students were deprived from the admission? Why the local authorities of Tevta were ignoring this malpractice?
Sialkot is totally export-oriented city and nucleus of cottage industry that earning US 1.25 billion dollars through export of sports goods, surgical instruments and sportswear. Sialkot is a city with growing sportswear industry exporting to top brand and foreign buyers globally and the non-operational readymade garments department was a serious blow to the industry. Under the circumstance there was an immediate need of holding probe into the affair and to trace out the lady teacher as well as persons involved in this slackness should be taken to task to facilitate the business community and interested female students. There was also an urgent need of launching new short and long term vocational training programme for the students instead of beautician and embroidery etc. The current era is an epoch of modernism and there was need of initiating the new courses enabling the female students to cope with the changing trends and earn their livelihood in a respectable way.
