The application process has begun in all upazilas of 56 districts under the “UDYOG programme”, an initiative aimed at identifying young entrepreneurs at the grassroots level and facilitating their access to financing.

According to an announcement published on the Bangladesh Bank’s UDYOG platform, applications will be accepted from November 1 to November 30, 2026.

The programme, titled “Upazila-based Young Entrepreneur Identification and Financing Programme”, seeks to identify promising young entrepreneurs across the country and support their business initiatives through appropriate financing facilities.

Meanwhile, the application submission process under the first phase has been completed in eight districts, and the selection process is now underway.

The eight districts are Manikganj, Feni, Naogaon, Jhenaidah, Bhola, Habiganj, Rangpur and Netrokona. Applications from all upazilas under these districts have already been received.

The initiative is expected to expand opportunities for aspiring young entrepreneurs at the grassroots level by identifying potential business ventures and facilitating access to financial support.
