Women have become entrepreneurs at home by using the Facebook platform as a medium. Now shopping is going on in about 18 thousand Facebook pages in the country. 60 percent of these pages are run by women. As such, it is not less in Chapainawabganj district.

‘Chapainawabganj Divas’ is one such online business platform. Its journey started in 2020. In just three years, hundreds of women entrepreneurs have been created from this online group.

The number of members of the group is now more than 6 thousand. Of these, more than a quarter of three hundred are sellers and the rest are all buyers. The group is managed by 5 women. Group admin name Sabrina binte Rois and Sabiha binte Rois. He has 3 moderators Tasnim Anam, Ifte Jahan Mimi and Dipa Das as his assistants.

The admin of the group, Sabrina Binte Rais, said that they are working with the goal that women can be self-reliant by using the online platform at home. Last Sunday, Chapainawabganj’s first and only girls’ group ‘Chapainawabganj Divas’ celebrated its 3rd anniversary by cutting a cake.

About three hundred women have become entrepreneurs from sitting at home. Here some of the women entrepreneurs are selling various products starting from umbrellas to mustard oil and daily necessities.

On the occasion of the anniversary, the elite restaurant Sky View Inn of Chapainawabganj city organized a discussion meeting about women becoming entrepreneurs, their problems and possibilities. At the end, successful business women entrepreneurs were awarded with crests through the group.

Some women entrepreneurs said, they bought a cake maker with a small amount of their own savings and started a business by opening a Facebook page. At first, no one dared. But I got all kinds of support from the group. Slowly I see the face of success. Running an online business is a very challenging task. But this task has become much easier for this group.

The first condition of online business is to create a good relationship between the buyer and the seller, to present the quality of the product, the right price and to deliver the product to the buyer at the specified time. I am always active by posting comments in the group. So that everyone knows me. As the saying goes, buy products from those you know.

The admin panel of the group has taken a very good initiative and they are working day and night through the group so that new entrepreneurs can become self-sustainable.

The admin of the group said, Chapainawabganj Divas is basically a platform for girls. During the Corona period, when the world was in crisis, people became house arrest. At that time talented women sitting at home wanted a platform to develop their talent. The debut of our ‘Chapainawabganj Divas’ is from the demand of that platform.
