RANGPUR, Aug 12, 2025 (BSS) – Many unemployed youth are becoming self-reliant through entrepreneurship after receiving training from the Department of Youth Development (DYD) to contribute to building a prosperous new Bangladesh.
 
This observation came today in a discussion followed by distribution of certificates and loan cheques among young entrepreneurs at the Deputy Commissioner's conference room in the city.
 
The Rangpur district administration and the DYD jointly organized the event to mark the National and International Youth Day-2025.

“It is possible for the youth to create employment opportunities for oneself and others through agriculture, fisheries and cattle rearing or farm management to shine in life without relying solely on jobs,” he said.
