Digital Bangladesh

‘Digital Bangladesh’ is at present a buzzword to all classes of people in Bangladesh. It refers to a technology based prosperous country where computer will be widely used. Here various types of information will be available on line and all types of possible tasks of the government and other non-government or semi-government offices will be done using digital technology. Awami league, one of the leading political parties in Bangladesh, has declared to make Bangladesh a digital country through information technology during the last parliamentary election campaign.

‘Digital Bangladesh” is a dream vision of bringing digital change in every sector. It is a process of digitalizing everything in our national life. This process includes e-governance, e-commerce, 100 percent literacy rate, sanitation, low mortality rate, high life expectancy, employment generation and making people skilled human resources.

The benefits of digital Bangladesh are many. If we can establish a digital Bangladesh, it will connect people with the whole world economically, politically, socially, academically and even culturally. It will improve banking and financial activities. Agriculture, health, education, commerce, all these sectors will be highly benefitted by making Bangladesh a digital one.

To make this dream vision a reality, government has to take certain initiatives. First of all, uninterrupted power supply has to be ensured. We have to develop computer network infrastructures throughout the country. We also have to train our people to acquire ICT skill. Finally, our education should be computer based and in primary and secondary schools students should get easy access to the computer. If this vision is materialized, we will be able to make progress in all sectors.

In fact, the benefits of digital based country cannot be described in worlds. But it is not an easy task to materialize the dream of making Bangladesh a digital country. Our journey towards a Digital Bangladesh needs necessarily the involvement of the innovative youth. If this generation is guide properly, they can really do wonder for the nation.
