| Chib reads pulse, offers hopes to private technical institutions | | | Early Times Report
Jammu, July 18: Congress leader Rajinder Singh Chib’s portfolio of Technical Education is slightly unmatchable with his political profile, acumen and experience. Since it is always for the Minister to bring grace to his assignment and Chib seems to have read the task well.
Chib, who is also holds the charge of Medical Education, has become a Minister for Technical Education at a time when this form of education in the private sector is running through crises. Days before Chib’s swearing in, the Department of Higher and Technical Education put on notice hundreds of private technical institutions imparting training to thousands of youths. The buck does not stop here. Career of those who obtained education from such institutions and got employment in various government concerns is also at stake.
Taking a bold and strong initiative in favour of estimated 30,000 students who are getting courses in different study centers, most of them running in Jammu, Chib said that he will not allow the closure of these study centers on whims and fancies. He made this promising statement at a felicitation function organized by chamber of commerce and industry to honour him and his Cabinet colleague Revenue Minister Raman Bhalla.

He further said that there are 30 polytechnique colleges and 40 ITI institutes running in the state but lack modern syllabus and concept. The industry needs people who are well acquainted with modern technique and expertise in technical hand and added that these study centres are providing modern education to the students. No doubt, these study centres are affiliated or recognized with universities like PTU, Sikkim Manipal University and others. The recent order of state govt on banning these centres will be looked into and already have consulted with the concerned minister on this issue. We have to safeguard the future of these students who are either in 3rd yr, 2nd year, 1st year etc.
