‘Digital Bangladesh Day’ was observed in the country yesterday. The theme of the day was ‘Digital Bangladesh will be Bangabandhu’s Sonar Bangla’. Digital Bangladesh is one of the dreams cherished by the country, and so due emphasis is given on the application of digital technologies to materialize Vision 2021. According to the National ICT Policy-2009, short-term, mid-term and long-term plans consisting of 306 action plans have been identified for the realisation of Vision 2021.  

 

It is the goal of the country to achieve a middle-income country status by the year 2021 for establishing prosperity, peace and dignity. The government has implemented many a project relating to digital technologies and a number of these are already underway. Registration for admission to academic institutions, publication of results of examinations, registration for jobs abroad, registration of pilgrimage, collection of official forms, online submission of tax returns, online tendering, etc. are a few examples of available digital services.

Online banking systems have geared up the financial activities. SMS services for lodging complaints to police stations, online bill payments for utility services, instant communication with persons working abroad, and e-passports are some more examples. Telemedicine services, videoconferencing for the treatment of diseases, and video conferencing for administrative activities are examples of e-services available to rural Bangladesh. Setting up of nearly five thousand Union Information Service Centres is a great boost for Digital Bangladesh, especially for rural areas. Digital Bangladesh with Vision 2021 is a big impetus for the use of digital technology in the country. In spite of several limitations, works are in progress for the realisation of Digital Bangladesh. Several projects for digitalisation have been completed and a big number of projects are under progress.

The nation now, with over 12 crore mobile subscribers and 4.3 crore Internet subscribers, enjoys the fruits of digitalisation in numerous areas of activities. The ultimate objective is to make more and more services available at the doorsteps of the people with increased digitalisation where possible. Turning eight thousand village post offices and approximately five hundred upazila post offices into e-centres and the introduction of mobile money order and postal cash cards are significant achievements in the recent past. All concerned should work to make the digitalising programme a success.
