Mayor of Rajshahi City Corporation AHM Khairuzzaman Liton yesterday underscored the need for promoting entrepreneurship for boosting economic progress in Rajshahi region. “All the government and non-government entities concerned should extend requisite supports including bank loan on simple interest towards making the entrepreneurship generation process easy,” he added while inaugurating a month-long entrepreneurship development training course here as the chief guest.
Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA) under its Entrepreneurship Creation and Skill Development Programme organised the opening ceremony at Deputy Commissioner’s conference hall.
