Social Business, A tool for socio-economic development of Rural people

All praises be to Almighty Allah, most Gracious and most Merciful. We would like to express our profound gratitude to our supervisor Dr. Roxana Hafiz, Professor, Department of Urban and Regional Planning, Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET), Dhaka for her valuable guidance, encouragement and advice throughout the research and who helped us to conduct the study successfully. We would also like to thank all our teachers of DURP, BUET for their continuous advice and critical comments. Finally, we would like to express our thanks to all the respondents of the study areas and to the officials of Yunus Social Business (YSB) Centre and Eco Social Development Organization (ESDO), because without their support this study would not have been completed. We would also like to extend our sincere thanks to our parents whose inspiration and assistances encouraged us to complete this report. To them we dedicate this study.
