In implementing the govt. policy regarding infrastructural development of educational institutions the Education Engineering Department has been suffering from the shortage of required number of personnel and lack of necessary logistic to forward its broad-based activities effectively around the country.

We urge the government to look these problems and to take appropriate steps soon so that the Education Engineering Department can overcome all of its organizational impediments and can be able to implement the development activities speedily throughout the country.
