Digital Bangladesh
Digital Bangladesh is at present a buzz word among the people of Bangladesh. It means digitalizing Bangladesh by ensuring an ICT (information and computer technology) based society. If Bangladesh is digitalized, all possible takes of government and other non-government will be performed using digital technology.
Making digital Bangladesh was an election manifesto of Awami league, one of the political parties of Bangladesh. Their target is to make Bangladesh digital by the next decade. To materialize the hope of digital Bangladesh, our present government has taken some drastic actions.
Bangladesh is an independent country. She has achieved her freedom more then 38 years ago. But still she is burdened with many problems. The motto of digital Bangladesh is to solve these problems and establish technology based digital governance, e-commerce, e-production, etc.
The benefits of digital Bangladesh are many. If we can establish a digital Bangladesh, corruption will be drastically reduced. It will save people’s time and money and will make people enterprising. It will make people think globally and connect them with the whole world economically, politically, socially, academically, and even culturally. It will open door for the people to improve their conditions. It will improve banking and financial activities. Money transfer and transaction of business could be made within seconds by clicking the mouse of a computer. Digital Bangladesh will curb crime and corruption and pave the way for our rapid development.
For implementing this dream of digital Bangladesh, government has take certain initiatives. First of all, uninterrupted power supply has to be ensured. We have to develop computer network throughout the country. We have to train our people to acquire ICT skill.
After all we have to create an atmosphere of information and technology throughout the country.
Making a digital Bangladesh by 2021 is one of the commitments of the present government. If the government values this commitment, our dream of a digital Bangladesh will be materialized.
