SATKHIRA, Oct 14: In 2006, a training centre was built in Asashuni Upazila of the district to improve technical skills of orphans and disabled boys and girls. 

This technical educational institution is the only one in Khulna Division with 26 sanctioned posts. The Institution was launched in 2013 with only six posts. But necessary manpower was not recruited for the remaining posts.

Machinery, computers, embroidery and others are getting damaged due to lack of trainers.

According to field sources, many letters were sent to the Ministry of Social Welfare asking for manpower. But there has been no response.

In addition to the manpower crisis, the institution is also running with many types of crisis.

Garments, embroidery, tailoring, wood knitting, jute works, boutique, printing, beautification, crystal works, wood works, wood training in carving, animal husbandry and poultry, computer office applications, mobility and physical, machinery workshop, automobile, electrical and electronics are available in the institution, But, the institution has been plagued with various problems since the beginning. The three-day meal allotted to the residential trainees is also insufficient. 

Asashuni Sadar Union Parishad Chairman SM Hossainuzzaman said, the only technical training centre for orphans and disabled boys and girls of Khulna Division is a great achievement for people of Satkhira; but, after the construction of the institution, the manpower was not recruited as per demand; if skilled trainers are appointed here, the trainees will get the benefits.

Faruk Hossain, assistant director of the training centre,   said, the training centre was built in 2006 on six and a half bigha land. The building included an administrative building, hostel building, academic building, quarters, bachelor's quarters, fourth class staff quarters and workshops. 

Although the institution was built in 2006, operations started in 2013. As against 26 posts, the institution was launched with six people.
 
Currently, there are assistant managers, storekeepers, poultry trainers, furniture trainers, and a caretaker. 

The remaining 20 vacant posts have not been appointed for one and a half years. 

Faruk Hossain said, residential trainees are allotted Tk 100 per day for three meals a day; after deducting Tk 20 for VAT and other expenses, Tk 80 is available; in the current market, it is not possible to feed a person three times with Tk 80.  

Besides, there is also a shortage of fresh water in the saline area, he added.

He further said, even though the training centre is for girls and boys, now there is only training for boys; a total of 70 people are undergoing training against 100 seats.

Santosh Kumar Nath, deputy director of Social Services Department-Satkhira, said, 'We sent letters to the ministry several times asking for manpower for Asashuni Technical Training Centre. Recruitment of manpower will solve the existing problem."
