A planned beginning is half done. For achieving anything in life, we must have a clear goal and must know the best road to reach there. For this we have to know the pros & cons of the road to be there well in advance. Before taking up a new venture of any kind we should equip ourselves with knowledge about the rules of the game. One can, of course, gain enough knowledge by trial and error during the progress of the event, but it will definitely take a longer time to achieve and , in most cases, may become too costly. This workshop has been designed to provide a basic knowledge about starting as well as effectively running a business venture in general and about international trading practices in particular. The beginners can develop enough confidence and those already in job can improve their quality of performance and operate more confidently than ever before.
