History

There are huge resources in Bangladesh Navy Dockyard. But all the workers of Dockyard are not very well paid and some of them undergo financial hardships when retired. To do welfare for these workers, a proposal was sent to Welfare Directorate at NHQ to establish a Technical Institute using the talent of the skilled (both in service & retired) personnel to run the institute and provide training to the unemployed youth of the society. Over populated Bangladesh is an urgent need of effective educational opportunities in the technical field especially in the maritime sector, where there is a huge potential. The problem is greater for the youth who having completed their secondary & higher secondary education, cannot continue and end up with no qualification at all. For them the possibility of employment and the chance of a dignified life become rather slim. For that reason, Bangladesh Navy intended to participate in nation building providing Technical training to the jobless and interested youth using existing facilities of Dockyard workshops under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). With this aim, BN Dockyard Technical Institute is established with the permission of Bangladesh Technical Education Board (BTEB) to run Trade Course (06 months).
