Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina said, I am hopeful today that no one can drag Bangladesh back. Can’t be taken back to the dark ages. This country is progressing on the path of development because the trend of democracy continues.

He said these things while inaugurating the program of distribution of stipend and tuition fee to poor and meritorious students from secondary to graduation (pass) and equivalent level at Shapla Hall of the Prime Minister’s office on Sunday (June 11) morning.

He said, during the elections in 2008, it was announced to build digital Bangladesh, then after coming to power, initiatives were taken. But today we succeeded in doing that; Today’s Bangladesh is Digital Bangladesh. Because if we can’t keep up with modern technology, then how can we keep up.
