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.
