DHAKA: Nobel laureate Economist Professor Dr. Muhammad Yunus said that if the country runs social business in full swing no one will remain unemployed here.

Yunus Centre organized the event for 5th time in the country with the theme of “We Are Not Job-Seekers, We Are Job-Givers -- Turning Unemployment into Entrepreneurship”.
