| Essay on Digital Bangladesh |
Digital
Bangladesh means digitalizing Bangladesh by ensuring an ICT based society where
online information will be readily available and where all possible activities
of the government and other non-government or semi-government organizations
will be performed using computer and internet. It was an election manifesto of Bangladesh
Awami League, a leading political party of the country, to make Bangladesh into
a digital country. Moreover, in the 9th National Parliamentary Election, Awami
League declared vision 2021 with the aim to turn Bangladesh into a digital
country by the next decade.
Bangladesh is
an independent country. She achieved her freedom more than 42 years ago. But
still she is burdened with many problems like poverty, corruption, food
deficit, over population, unemployment, natural calamities, power crisis etc. These
problems and obstacles stand in the way of developing a digital society. So, we
have to work hard to remove all these problems and obstacles to establish
technology based e-governance, e-education, e-commerce, e-production,
e-agriculture , etc. Top priority should be given to solve power crisis. Computer
and internet network should also be developed throughout the country
immediately.
The benefits
of digital Bangladesh are many. It will ensure the overall development of the
country and the nation. All types of corruption and crimes will be strongly checked.
It will save people’s time and money and make people more enterprising. It will
connect people with the whole world socially, culturally, economically, and
even politically. It will allow people to think globally and communicate with
the whole world. It will improve banking system and financial activities of the
country. Money transfer and transaction of business would be made within
seconds. The sectors of agriculture, health, education, commerce will also be
highly benefitted through digital based society.
The benefits
of digital based society cannot be described in words. But to materialize the dream
of Digital Bangladesh is not an easy task. The journey towards a Digital
Bangladesh needs necessarily the involvement of the innovative younger
generation. If the national leaders of our country equitably and impartially guide
this generation, they can really do wonder for the nation. Both the policy
makers in the government and the people in general should work hand in hand to
materialize the dream of digital Bangladesh.
