A youth of the country’s south western district Khulna has turned into an entrepreneur utilizing the advantages of the digital technologies that yielded tremendous successes across the country, thanks to the largest online learning platform ‘Muktopaath’.
” An e-learning platform for education, skills and professional development Muktopaath has opened up a new avenue for me to launch an initiative like farming Quail that was far beyond my imagination in an easy and simple way ,” Soumitra Bishwas, a young-man of Dumuria upazila of Khulna district said.
Being a computer demonstrator of a high school, it was fillip for him to acquire a new skill through an online platform that coerced him to entrepreneurship.
“I started my initiative after completing a course titled “Quail Farming in Low Budget” from Muktopaath. It is a time and cost effective method as anyone can take lessons easily through the platform,” Soumitra said, reports BSS.
He at the outset started his Quail rearing farm with 200 Quails and now he is looking for expanding his farm with 500 more Quails.
Besides, Nasir Uddin, a teacher from Pirojpur district, has created huge opportunities for people from different walks of life through “Muktopaath”.
After completion of cybernetic and offline courses from the platform himself, Nasir also took initiatives to attract the people to the courses.
Nasir said he gathered the people who used to waste time gossiping in the local market in the afternoon and arranged an online course titled “Beef Fattening” at free of cost for them.
As he had no projector for conducting the online course, Nasir took help from his colleague in this regard and arranged teas for all partakers in the course at his own expense.
With completion of the course from the “Muktopaath”, many people in the area have yielded unprecedented success through fattening of cows during the last Eid-ul-Azha, Nasir said.
Later, his initiative of teaching through the “Muktopaath” reached all neighbouring areas of Nasir and many people started coming to him and expressed keenness to take part in the course.
Apart from his teaching profession Nasir who is working as a youth development officer said “I am trying to make the unemployed youths engaged in work by conducting these courses through the local youth development club”.
As a result, youths are now taking part in online courses regularly at the club and making themselves self-employed, he added.
The online learning platform is not only facilitating the unemployed people, but helping the professionals like physicians, government and private employees and journalists to enrich their knowledge with the technological know-how.
