Next, Secretary-1 Lt-Gen Khin Nyunt delivered an address. In his address, he said that his tour together with Maj-Gen Khin Maung Than, ministers and deputy ministers was to inspect the implementations of Maubin University construction, the Governmental Technical College construction and 200-bed special hospital construction as well as to fulfil requirements.
Local authorities, departmental personnel and local people of Maubin District had not foreseen the emergence of universities, colleges and special hospital in their district. These projects are implemented for ensuring human resource development and enabling the entire people fit and healthy in line with the guidance of Head of State senior General Than Shwe. Before the Tatmadaw Government took over State responsibilities in 1988, there were 32 universities in the higher education sector. Now the number has increased to 150 as 118 new ones emerged. It is of great benefit to human resource development. In the Ayeyawady Division in the past, university, college and special hospital existed only in Pathein, the city of the division. To narrow down development gaps, educational and health promotion programmes are now being carried out in Maubin and Hinthada. At present, there are 3 universities including the Maubin university in Ayeyawady Division.
The Governmental Technical College and the special hospital will also emerge soon in Maubin as they are now under construction yet in rainy season. Conscientious efforts are being made collectively by departmental personnel concerned and private entrepreneurs for speedy completion of the constructions. Within the period of one year, a new university, a new college and a new 200-bed special hospital will soon emerge in Maubin region to benefit the local people of Maubin, Myaungmya and Pyapon districts.
It will also contribute towards the human resource development of the nation as well as towards the realization of national health objective.
He continued to say that as Ayeyawady Division is netted with rivers, creeks and streams and transportation was delayed and difficult as waterway only was accessible in the past. Nowadays, roads and bridges are built in the division for better transportation among regions in accordance with the guidance of Head of State Senior General Than Shwe. many a number of major bridges such as Bo Myat Tun bridge, Maubin Bridge, Kyaiklatt Bridge, Pantanaw Bridge, etc have been built. The Dedaye Bridge and Wakema Bridge are under construction. Many more roads and bridges are planned to be built. Transportation in the division will soon remarkably become better and accordingly the socio-economic lives of the local people will improve certainly.
In addition to the existing factories such as cement factory, glass factory, plywood factory and rice mills, many more mills and factories are being built in the division for all-round development. In order to develop the education sector, education promotion programmes has been implementing. The first phase of the programmes have been carried out. The special 4-year plan in the second phase and the 30-year education plan in the third phase have been laid down.
In line with the guidance of Head of State Senior General Than Shwe, the education sector developing works are included in the five rural development tasks. In Myanmar, extensive opportunities for pursuing education are being available and national human resource development works are gaining momentum. The programme for ensuring all the school-going aged children to get enrolled is being launched in Myanmar by the Government with the participation of wellwishers. So far, 92 per cent of school-going aged children are pursuing education at schools.
It shows that Myanmar has the high rate of school enrolment in Southeast Asia.
He went on to say that in Maubin, Myaungmya and Pyapon districts, agricultural livestock breeding works are meeting with successes. In conformity with geographical conditions in Myanmar, all-out efforts are being made to increase incomes through agro-based business undertakings and to develop other sectors of the economy as well. he urged responsible personnel concerned to make collective efforts for boosting agricultural productions to earn more foreign exchange with a view to expanding nation building activities. As regards the national development, it is needed to boost productions while practising asceticism.
The utilization of machine oil, fuel and edible oil which cost much foreign exchange as well as that of electricity should be reduced, he pointed out. During the time of the Tatmadaw Government, the production of electric power has been increased triple. According to the increasing population and industries, the power supply is not yet sufficient. hence, the Paunglaung and Yeywa hydro-electric power projects to generate 3,000 megawatts of electric powers are being implemented spending huge sums of fund. The Tatmadaw Government has been striving for boosting productions and promoting the socio-economic lives of the people through various hardships and difficulties.
However, the Tatmadaw does not frustrate with it and yet taking pride in the endeavours. In conclusion, he urged local authorities and departmental personnel to make collective efforts for regional development and further enhance patriotism among the public.
Thence, the Secretary-1 and party went to Hlinethaya and inspected tasks being carried out for upgrading of Hlinethaya-Htantabin road.
