It is an ambitious concept adopted by the biggest political party, the Awami League, in their election manifesto for the last national parliamentary election in 2008.The present government under the bold leadership of 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.
In its election manifesto Awami League mentioned that it is determined to fully implement the concept titled ‘Vision 2021’. Digitalisation 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 performed 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 socio-economic life.
