    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. First of all, I want to thank the hon. Minister, who has been working very hard in her Ministry right from the Bill that she brought in regarding the universities and this one now which is dealing with technical issues. I want to say that a country cannot progress, or move forward, if it does not have technical people to do its work. For this reason, this Bill comes in handy. I think it is extremely important for this House to pass it and ensure that it works. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say from the outset that this is a good Bill which has covered many areas right from registration, because we need to know what kind of institutions we have in the country, so that we get rid of mushrooming of institutions of little value. So, it is extremely important that we ensure that right from the registration of these institutions, the right work is done and the right institutions are registered. I want to say here and now that for any county to move forward--- We must ensure that we have institutions in every county which train our young people up to diploma level. We must ensure that we have in every county an institution which develops our young people up to that level. In every constituency, we must have an institution which undertakes vocational training, so that our young people are trained to use their hands and heads to earn a living. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we train our young people in technical areas, then, as a country, we will reduce unemployment and ensure that our young people are not misused, and that they use their brains and hands to do the work that will help them. We will ensure that they achieve high standards. I am happy to see that this Bill is addressing the issue of high standards. Standardization of the training given in the whole country is necessary to ensure that our training is in conformity with the international standards."
