Entrepreneurs bagged orders worth Tk 20 crore

Though the government allocates Tk 100 crore in the national budget every year for the development of women entrepreneurship, not a single penny of this money gets used as the entrepreneurs lack awareness on how to ensure optimum utilisation of the fund.

The SME Foundation, an organisation under the industries ministry, has sought a new allocation of Tk 500 crore from the government in order to provide loans to entrepreneurs, according to a letter.
