BSS, Dhaka :
Expansion of the industrial estate of Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) in Rajshahi would create employment opportunities for nearly 1,500 people.
A fresh project to this end has been launched to acquire 30 acres of land to develop 200 industrial plots in the area to ensure the evolvement of small and medium enterprises (SME) in the region.
Planning Minister A H M Mustafa Kamal said the government has the responsibility to provide industrial plots to the actual entrepreneurs as per the necessity.
“The industrial plots are being developed considering the country’s socio-economic condition and future necessity, as the entrepreneurs are expanding the SME gradually in the region,” he added.
Kamal informed 10 per cent of the industrial plots in the estate would be kept reserved for the women entrepreneurs.
