The central bank yesterday asked all scheduled banks operating in Bangladesh to assign 5 to 10 district level officials who will act as mentors to develop ICT entrepreneurs in Bangladesh.
Bangladesh Bank in a notice said it has taken the decision as part of a recommendation by the post, telecoms and ICT ministry.
On April 24, Nazrul Islam Khan, ICT secretary, wrote a letter to the BB governor, informing him about the government's effort to implement a project on freelancers.
Five to 10 bank officials at the district levels will help freelancers by mentoring them to become ICT entrepreneurs, according to the notice.
