Over this two-month period, five training batches were completed on four key topics, reaching 109 participants.
The Training on Managerial Role in Advancing Loan Expansion was conducted in two separate batches on 19-20 July at the Head Office and 18-19 August at WAVE Training Center. A total of 46 participants including Unit Managers and Advanced CD Officers from Dhaka, Manikganj, Chuadanga, and Kushtia regions joined the sessions.
