Md.Mayenul Islam

Abstract


Management of Small Enterprises Skill Training for Rural Women in Bangladesh using Open and Distance Learning Materials is very much a new approach. A good number of rural women in Bangladesh are engaged in small enterprises and income generating activities. At present a number of Government and non-government organizations provide training and micro credit support to the rural small entrepreneurs, however in most cases the remote small entrepreneurs are out of the purview of these facilities. This programme aims to develop necessary entrepreneurial management skills for the rural small enterprises owners. These skills are necessary for the running of the human development process, employment generation and poverty alleviation of the country. This article focuses on the programme of Management of Small Enterprises Skill Training for Rural Women in Bangladesh using Open and Distance Learning Materials, that were developed and implemented by the Bangladesh Open University (BOU) with collaboration of Commonwealth of Learning (COL) through a distance mode module. Several successful media were used in open and distance mode such as print materials, audio - videotape and flipchart.
