Digital Bangladesh
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.
