Recruitment Test of Food Ministry

Only 14 of 1,200 diploma engineers pass

Razzaque doubts quality ofedn at polytech instts

Staff Correspondent
Food minister yesterday disclosed in parliament that only 14 out of 1200 diploma engineers were able to pass an examination for the posts of project implementation officers under the food ministry.
‘It shows how the quality of education deteriorated at polytechnic institutes. It's a matter of great concern. Every district headquarters has polytechnic institute, but, I think, students do not get proper education there,” Food and Disaster Management Minister Abdur Razzaque said
during the question-answer hoqr.
Expressing concern over the quality of education, he said. “I am drawing attention of the education minister to the matter. We will have to take steps at national level."
Bangladesh Public Service Commission (PSC) conducted the examination. The ministry appointed II of the 14 candidates passed in the exam.
Razzaque said the ministry has again circulated an advertisement to recruit against the vacant posts.
On preparedness to face the aftermath of possible earthquakes, he minister said
the government has moved to train up 62,000 volunteers across the country to face any possible earthquakes.
Executive Committee on National Economic Council (Ecnec) has already approved Tk 69 core for providing training to volunteers in different parts of the country as well as to purchase modern equipment, he added.
The equipment includes laser cameras, trucks, trolleys, saw machines and long-ranged ladders.
The minister said 6,000 volunteers in Sylhet have already received training for this purpose and the volun-
teers would also be trained up in Chittagong.
The ministry has been taking actions against the food officials who were involved in irregularities to implement the government drive to procure food grains, he men tioned.
He also said actions would be taken if any official found to be involved in irregularities in dealing with food grains allocated for implementation of different programmes.
Razzaque said his ministry would investigate how relief materials were embezzled during the BNP-Jamaat-led alliance government.
