Digital Bangladesh
Necessity of Digital Bangladesh: The benefits
of digital Bangladesh are many. If Bangladesh can be established a digital,
Corruption will be drastically reduced. Besides, it will save people’s time and
money and will make people more enterprising and thus will reduce unemployment
problem. It will connect people with the whole word 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. People could be reached from one district to
another district within a single moment. Agriculture, health, education
commerce, information and communication, residence, entertainment all these
sectors will be highly benefited by making “Digital Bangladesh”.
Agriculture Sector: Ours is an old
based country. More than 80% of the people of our country depend on agriculture
for their livelihood. But they are ignorant of the more method of cultivation
where the developed countries of the world have championed in these fields by
using the boons of mechanized method of cultivation. By the touch of innovative
technology, the farmers will use all types of modern motorized tools instead of
traditional equipments and their hand driven tools to cultivate their lands.
They will have to get ample online help about producing more and more crops.
ICT development : ICT is the backbone
of any digital initiative. ICT covers the vast area of information technology
and the communication technology without ICT development the dream of digital
Bangladesh would be only a dream for the total nation. One thing must be
mentioned that ICT is only a technology and a technology could not be functional
without a person behind. Philosophically convinced persons are the driving
force in establishing an idea in society and state. “Digital Bangladesh” is an
idea that includes the IT use for management, administration and governance to
ensure transparency, accountability and answerability at all levels of society
and state. Building of an IT educated workforce is the most important segment
of digital Bangladesh initiative. It has already been told that technology is
important but not works without a person behind. For a future Bangladesh ICT
development is significantly important. It is another truth that ICT sector
could not be developed over night but good beginning is essential which will
build our expected “ Digital Bangladesh” by creating and managing human
resource
Medical Sector: Riority action for
this sector are to develop a nationwide integrated health record system.
Strengthen the fledgling telemedicine network (now available only in the
private sector at a high cost) and launch mobile health units with simple test
kits and let connectivity to specialized centers. ICT enabled health care
service delivery and capacity building of ten of thousands of semi-skilled
health workers around the country. Significantly reduce infant and material
mortality currently a 54% and 3.8% respectively, to the 2021 target levels of
1.5% for both rates. Critical observation indicates that in both cases in
mozzarellas term top and bottom of the pyramid have been bridged through ICTAD
hyperventilation.
Educational Sector: Education is the
most powerful weapon which can be used to establish our desirable “Digital
Bangladesh” Government should take steps to spread ICT education throughout the
country. We should hare computer based education. Computer based education
should be imparted to the students of primary, secondary, Higher secondary and
Higher education. We can make video of our teacher’s lectures and display them
on the white screens before the learner. A learner can receive education
sitting in his house. All the educational institutions will come under a good
network system. The details of these institutions and their activities will be
available on website, E-paper, E-book, Digitized pen, pen-drive, Laptop and
other screen touch tools can be used in educational institutions. The
Government must address the above issues effectively and efficiency in a
transparent manner. The educated people of our country should extend their
hands of co-operation to help the Government. If all the people come forward
and help Government we shall be able to fulfill our dream of establishing “Digital
Bangladesh”.
Business Sector: Business sector is a
large and crucial sector which may be called the roof of the development of a
country. So, It must be developed to tech our desirable goal “Digital
Bangladesh”. All the financial and commercial sector, such as Bank, Insurance,
Stock exchange, Private firm, Shopping malls have to be come under a good
network system. Then the details information and the activities of this
institution will become available on their website. As a result the mob of
Bangladesh will easily get their desirable service. Buying and selling are the
common matter of individual life. Everyday people go to markets or shopping
malls to purchase essential things of everyday’s life. Also business man export
and import the product through different complex system. If the computer
network can be spread widely, businessman will be able to buy and sell their
target product easily by online. Individual can purchase by making payments
through credit cards. Thus person no more need to carry cash to the remotest
regions of the country. If this system can be introduced in all financial and
commercial sectors in Bangladesh. Very Soon Bangladesh will be able to become “Digital
Bangladesh”.
Criticism: The promotion of “Digital
Bangladesh” has received criticism and ridicule from many in Bangladesh. It is
commonly believed that the word “digital” used by the ruling Awami League
government seemingly refers to doing work in any relevant sector concerns of
weather it is a goal or slogan. Although some scope exist for employment and
income generation sectors like outsourcing, online retail and offering
different public-private hybrid service though union information. Service confers
have been implemented the economy at large has remained stagnant. It is alleged
in reality, no significant development has taken place until 2015 and progress
was slow. For example, the government planned to turn the office including the
ministries through digitalized systems but until January 2015, the public
offices were still the rural areas, electronic payment still lagged for behind,
with only tk 6 core transactions a month.
Conclusion: - Bangladesh is a developing
country. All the possibilities are favorable towards her. Time has come for
Bangladesh to develop her information technology and to turn her “digital
Bangladesh”. Bangladesh can help us to elevate ourselves as one of the
developed countries in the universe by next decade. We need to bear in mind to
be away from enriched information Technology means to live like a frog living
in a well. We have to follow the developed countries in the advanced countries
of the world so that we can get modern ways and strategies from them to bring
about a revolution for our ICT based society. We have to have our all- out
efforts to materialize our desired vision 2021 for our betterment and own existence.
