Entrepreneurs get fund to start business
25 February 2010
Ministry of Labour and Human Resources (MoLHR) completed the first entrepreneurial skills development training for 63 participants of two batches with the financial support from UNDP as part of Human Security Project under the Income Generation Start-up Support programme yesterday.
The 29 male and 34 female young entrepreneurs have the proposals to set up businesses in the three highest poverty incidence dzongkhags of Zhemgang, Mongar and Samtse, and one in Paro with the initial grant of up to Nu 0.6 million from UNDP.
These entrepreneurs will be setting up businesses either individually or in groups.
The grant will differ accordingly to their business proposals.
Businesses includes IT service and repair centres, bakeries, poulry farms, tailoring units, construction services, paper packaging, lemon grass extraction unit, automobile workshop, weaving centre, restaurants, hardware and electrical services, photo studios, souvenir manufacturing unit, and internet cafes among others.
Labour Minister Dorji Wangdi awarded certificates to the 63 entrepreneurs, among them two best students, one each from a batch – Birkha Bdr. Labar from the first batch and Dhan Kumar Bhujel from the second batch. The certificate of excellence for cooperation and sincerity was given to Phuntsho and Karma Rai.
