 ENTREPRENEURSHIP DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMME (EDPS) IN BANGLADESH.

Entrepreneurship is often considered one of the most effective and flexible strategies for
economic development of A country. So lack of entrepreneurship development is one of the
reasons for not developing the economy. In Bangladesh at the time of initiating enterprise, an
entrepreneur faces many problems such as shortage of skilled workers and infrastructural
facilities. In Bangladesh lack of political commitments and absence of creation of healthy
environment required for entrepreneurial growth are the limiting factors in the process of
adequate supply of reasonable number of entrepreneurs. Today, some govt. And some non-govt.
Organizations have come forward with great facilities for entrepreneurs.
