Apart from this, Government is encouraging NGOs and private sectors to undertake steps for the development of women by liberalizing its policy. There are lots of NGOs are working in Bangladesh.

This paper is specially focused on women and related entrepreneurial activities which have been backed up by the selected sample NGOs in Bangladesh.
