In the past, rural regions in remote areas lagged behind in development of education and health. For example, it was seen that local children pursued education at self-reliant Affiliated BEPSs and Affiliated BEMSs in some rural regions in the past. At the time of the State Peace and Development Council, plans were laid down for enabling the affiliated schools in the rural areas to become BEPSs and BEMSs controlled by the Ministry of Education with a view to avoiding educational burden on the rural areas. He then said that in the health sector in the past, brouch rural health centres and station hospitals could not open in remote areas due to lack of transport facilities. At present, arrangements are being made for opening and upgrading branch rural health and station hospitals in the rural areas if necessary so as to provide health care for local people.

The Prime Minister pointed out that development of rural regions play a key role in improvement of the State. Rural development reflects improvement of townships, districts, states and divisions. Therefore, the government pays attention to carrying out the five rural development tasks. So, district and township departmental officials are to make field trips to grassroots level and to lay emphasis on fulfilment of requirements in health, education, transport, social sectors of the local people for achieving success of rural development. He said that according to the reports, Minbu District has surplus edible oil in addition to food sufficiency but some townships in Magway Division do not have sufficient of food. That is why the aim should be set out for gaining more and more food surplus to meet food requirements of these townships. The Prime Minister said that Minbu (Sagu) region is an important oil field of the government. Oil and natural gas production plays a vital role not only for Minbu District but also for the nation.

Being aware that intellectuals and intelligentsia are essential for development of human resources in a bid to build a peaceful, modern and developed nation, the government has been opening more and more educational institutions in respective regions. In this regard, universities and colleges are to produce intellectuals, and intelligentsia. Teachers play an indispensable role.

The Government on its part will provide adequate study aids and teachers for educational institutions through plans in accord with the passage of time. In conclusion, the General called on faculty members who produce human resources to make greater efforts.

The Prime Minister attended to the needs of education, health and transport sectors.

The Prime Minister presented a TV, a VCD and a computer each to Nos 1, 2 and 3 basic education schools through the principals. The Prime Minister said that it is needed to flourish the spirit of national solidarity and Union Spirit for national brethren who live in States and Divisions of the Union. The government has given top priority to progress of border areas and development of rural areas in which the majority of the population live. Simultaneously, development regions have been designated with the guidance of the Head of State for ensure equitable progress of all regions of the nation. The government has been striving for narrowing the development gap between border areas and interior regions, equitable progress of all regions, and development of the Union. It has placed greater emphasis on education and health sectors, which directly contribute towards development of human resources. The other sectors also play an important role. The government has implemented economic, social, transport, and community peace and tranquillity sectors through plans and projects since 1988 and success has been achieved to a certain degree.

Development of human resources plays the main role in emergence of a modern developed nation, so the government has been taking measures for human resource development all parts of the nation. In this regard, it has been opening universities and colleges where necessary.

Being located in the middle of Myanmar, Magway Division can be called Central Capital of the nation. That is why the government is making strenuous endeavours in implementing regional development projects especially related to education, health and transport sectors in the division with the aim of enabling the division to possess the characteristics of a city. As to the economic sector, measures are being taken for building more and more irrigation and transport facilities to lay good economic foundations in the division.

Overall, Magway Division has no food security yet. Only when each state, division or district can enjoy food sufficiency, will they not have to rely on other regions. The division's crop output contributes 71 per cent of food sufficiency. Therefore, efforts are to be made for extended cultivation of crops and boosting per acre yield through effective use of irrigation facilities. If Magway Division is able to produce sufficient food, paddy output will be in surplus and the nation can earn more foreign exchange by mean of export. Thus, the States and Divisions that have not met food sufficiency are to make endeavours with added momentum through various ways and means. Myanmar's paddy output just covers local consumption. So, for Myanmar, paddy is out of the list of export crops. Moreover, Myanmar's per capita paddy consumption rate is more than any other nation in Southeast Asian region. Thus, production of paddy and edible oil crops is to be boosted by means of extended cultivation, mixed cropping, and better per acre yield.

Magway Division's edible oil output is in surplus. However, greater efforts are to be exerted for ensuring better output. In this way, Magway and Sagaing Divisions will be able to contribute to edible oil requirement. Only then, will the expense on imported edible oil go to nation-building tasks. With oil and gas fields, Magway Division is a reliable region. The government is implementing plans to boost fuel production and to explore new oil and gas deposits. In this regard, officials responsible are to make attempts with added momentum. Yenangyaung and Pakokku Industrial Zones in Magway Division are to be upgraded gradually. To be able to industrialize the agro-based nation, local authorities and departmental officials are to provide necessary assistance and encouragement for ensuring cumulative progress of these zones. The State's seven-point policy programme has been adopted to shape brighter future of the nation, to enable the nation to stand tall and perpetuate, and to practise genuine discipline-flourishing democracy. The National Convention is the first stage of the programme as well as the most important step.

All the national people are to contribute active participation towards step-by-step implementation of the seven-point road map including the National Convention. The Prime Minister and party arrived back here in the evening.
