FAISALABAD:
The Technical Education & Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) can play an instrumental role in transforming the Punjab prisons into industrial clusters by equipping the inmates with technical skills and establishing new industrial units within the premises of jails.
This was stated by TEVTA Faisalabad and Chiniot Chairman District Board of Management Engineer Asim Munir.
In a statement issued on Sunday, he said that the industrial boom had created shortage of skilled manpower.
He further said that most of the industrial units were striving to fulfill their foreign commitments. “They have introduced a third shift, but are facing shortage of the workers,” he said.
