Professor Muhammad Mahboob Ali, coordinator of the entrepreneurship economics program at the Dhaka School of Economics (DScE), said students need to learn the spirit of entrepreneurship from micro and small entrepreneurs.
He said this as the DScE Saturday organised a field trip for sharing experiences of the cottage and small entrepreneurs with the masters and diploma students of entrepreneurship economics.
The students visited different upazilas of Narsingdi and tried to assess microfinance's impact on the villages among low-income groups. They also went for practicum in handloom factories in Jamdani Palli and Boutique Palli.
They also tried to assess the difference between the prices at the wholesale market in Narsingdi and New Market in Dhaka city.
