Business-friendly atmosphere must for industrial growth

Speakers at a seminar have observed that ensuring business-friendly atmosphere is very important to encourage local entrepreneurs towards strengthening the country’s industrial sector. They viewed there is a need of adopting necessary measures to revive Rajshahi region’s industrial sector including the cottage industries as those are playing a vital role in the country's economic development contributing 15.58 and 12 per cent in the overall domestic development and employment respectively. The observations came at the seminar titled ‘Adoption of Production and Marketing Strategies of small and cottage industries through the best uses of Sustainable Technologies and Domestic Resources’ held at the conference hall of Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC) in Rajshahi.
