Speaking at the inaugural function, Shaheen Akhter Rainy, President of Oikko Foundation (CMSME Uddokta Unnoyon Wing), said, “Every year, about 20-22 lakh young men and women acquire undergraduate and graduate degrees, after which they go in search of employment. A large proportion of these people, unable to find suitable jobs, end up becoming addicted to drugs or wasting their time on other harmful vices.

These are the children we had in mind when founding oikko.com.bd. I am sure that the digital institute that is being inaugurated today will be received positively and used widely by Bangladeshi netizens.”

Shykh Seraj, Member of the Board of Trustees of Oikko Foundation, who graced the event as its special guest, said, “Oikko Foundation has played an indispensable role in supporting SME in Bangladesh, which is one of the four pillars of the country’s economy. SMEs have great potential in numerous sectors, particularly in agriculture. I believe this digital institute will play a significant role in ensuring the economic growth of Bangladesh.”
