Poverty Alleviation Services

In Poverty Alleviation sector, UT introduced “Interest Free Micro-Credit and Loan” for the ‘rural women’, marginal ‘businessman’ and ‘farmers’. As of now, over 27,538 families are the direct beneficiaries of this scheme. We are now diversifying our loan scheme to accommodate more choices of the beneficiaries, especially ‘cattle farming’, ‘small businesses’, and ‘micro-entrepreneurship’ development. Last year, we sponsored 10 distressed women (victims of gender violence) in their rehabilitation training and job placement in collaboration with a Dhaka based NGO named TARANGO. With their assistance, we are also promoting ‘jute craft’ and ‘bamboo craft’ in rural areas with a ‘buy back’ protocol. Besides that, we promote ‘self-employment’ through in house vocational training (handicraft, cutting and tailoring, cattle farming) coupled with credit scheme that enables about 300 -350 rural youths to stand on their feet. In 2019, we undertook a ‘Mega Employment Project’ at Melandah, Jamalpur. Project already commenced in October 2019. “Melandah Employment Project” (MEP) is aimed at ‘developing skill for employment’ for about 14000 unemployed youths with a view to make unemployment free Melandah UZ of Jamalpur. From 2016, we are also engaged in arranging ‘employment’ through organized ‘skill development’ (‘Electrical’ and ‘Welding’) for about 60-80 youths per year in collaboration with ‘Underpreviliged Child Education Program’ (UCEP) Bangladesh. They train 3-4 batches of 20 youths each (Wielding) in their Technical Training Schools at Shalna, Gazipur and another 3-4 batches (Electrician) at Kashimpur, Gazipur. This project includes training, certification by BTEB and job placement in good factories and institutions.
