Livelihood Development Project for Marginalized People

Although marginalized people are a small part of the total population of Bangladesh, they have been known as neglected and backward since time immemorial. But a significant part of the economic activities of ancient Bengal was conducted through them. They exist everywhere from daily life to cultural activities. In the lineage, they are making a living by holding the profession. In the current age of technological excellence, people from all these communities are losing the competition. With the loss of competition, they are losing out on their financial resources. As a result, working people are becoming unemployed day by day. Unemployment can be eliminated by modernizing their hereditary profession through up-to-date training by bringing them in contact with technology. Or they can be included in the employment by training in any other technical profession. Then these people with technical knowledge will get a new life by getting the opportunity to make significant contribution in the economic activities of modern Bengal. The tide of village-based economic activity will return. Bangladesh will move forward with the development of backward people. With this in mind, steps have been taken to implement a project titled Improving the Living Standards of Marginalized People.
