Digital Bangladesh
1.
Digital Bangladesh 'Digital Bangladesh' is a visionary concept of the present government titled 'Vision-2021'. It means a technology based prosperous country where computers will be widely used. All the services and activities of the state will be monitored and controlled via internet. Our lifestyles, daily activities, business transaction, communication, entertainment, education, consultation, etc. would be made online.
We can achieve a digital Bangladesh by introducing widespread use of computer and internet. To execute the concept digital Bangladesh, the government should extend internet facility to every nook and corner of the country so that everyone may have easy access to internet. With the help of internet a man can have any information he needs sitting anywhere. He need not go to a place in person to have a service or an information. Man's work load will be lessened to a great extent by using computer in every sector. Health, education, banking, administration, transport and some other important sectors can be accelerated with the wide use of computers and the internet. Even students can take part in the process of digital Bangladesh by getting online services in the process of their teaching-learning activities. If we can do this with the computer assisted teaching-learning software, they can take part in online education programmes. They can submit their assignment through email. They can also take their test online. Besides, they can have their required information browsing online.
I don't think the idea of digital Bangladesh is too-ambitious. Because it's the age of computer technology. To cope with the present world, initiating the idea of Digital Bangladesh will be an optimistic one, not a mere ambition.
2.‘Digital Bangladesh' means digitizing Bangladesh by ensuring an ICT based society where information will be available on the line and where all possible activities of the government and other non-government or semi- government organizations will be performed using digital technology. Making a digital Bangladesh was an election manifesto (2008) of Awami League, one of the leading political parties in Bangladesh. In the 9th National Parliamentary election, Awami League declared to develop Bangladesh into a digital country by the next decade. Bangladesh is an independent country. She achieved her freedom more than 39 years ago. But still she is burdened with many problems like poverty, overpopulation, unemployment, corruption, food deficit, natural calamities, power crisis etc. Considering all these, the present government has aimed to create a Digital Bangladesh to overcome these problems. The motto of Digital Bangladesh is to establish technology based digital governance, e- commerce, e-agriculture, e-production, e-education, etc, emphasising the overall development of the country and the nation. The benefits of Digital Bangladesh are many. If we can establish a Digital Bangladesh, corruption will be drastically reduced. Furthermore, it will save people time and money, encourage people to be more entrepreneurial, and thus reduce unemployment. It will connect people with the whole world economically, politically, socially, academically and even culturally. It will open doors for the people to improve their conditions. It will also improve banking and financial activities. Money transfer and transaction of business could be made within seconds by clicking the mouse of a computer. Agriculture, health, education, commerce - all these sectors will be highly benefited by making Bangladesh a Digital one.
