The government plans to take a Tk 428 crore project to develop the skills of 256,000 unemployed and disadvantaged women to turn them into entrepreneurs and create jobs.
Besides, the project will aim to make 1,600 women self-employed by setting up 80 sales and display centres and an equal number of food corners and beauty parlours.
The project proposal may be placed at the weekly meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Economic Council on Tuesday, said an official of the planning ministry.
