‘Digital Bangladesh’ is a new but ambitious concept in the country. The
present government under the bold leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh
Hasina has taken the landmark step to bring a radical change in the
lives of millions of people by 2021 by using sophisticated science and
technology in every field.
Awami League in its election manifesto
mentioned that it is determined to fully implement the concept titled
‘Vision 2021’. Digitalization is the process of implementing various
initiatives, including e-governance, e-commerce, 100 percent literacy
rate, sanitation, low mortality rate, high life expectancy, employment
generation and making people skilled human resources through orientation
of the use of computer as well as internet.
Digital Bangladesh is a
dream vision of bringing digital change in every sector. It is a process
of digitalizing everything in our national life. Our lifestyle, daily
activities, business transaction, communications, entertainment,
studies, consultation, etc. would be made online. It is a process of
sensitizing the common people to the widespread use of internet in their
daily life to gear up the wheels of our overall social-economic life.
Economically rich and industrially developed countries are fully
depended on digitalization process.
They have made everything online.
They have reduced using papers, rather are accustomed in using emails
and facsimiles to accomplish their activities. Educated people have to
play a vital role in discharging their duties and responsibilities. They
have to work together with the government to reach its goal of building
a digital Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, digitalization, if it the process
is successfully implemented, would bring a horizon of ray and hope for
millions of people through their active participation in various
developmental activities. We would be able to fight poverty. Above all,
we need to change our mindset to make it happen.
