In the inauguration ceremony, City Mayor said that Bangabandhu’s daughter Sheikh Hasina initiated Digital Bangladesh.  Bangladesh is now Asia’s wonder in the digital field.  We will lead the IT sector of the future.

He also said that children should be skilled in technology to face future challenges.  With the Fourth Industrial Revolution, there will be massive automation in factories.  In that case, attention should be paid to ensure that the current workers get alternative employment opportunities.  Village people are now getting the opportunity to receive digital services easily from upazila and union digital centers.  The price of mobile phones with connections that once cost lakhs of rupees has now come down to under 1000 tk.  As a result marginalized people are getting opportunity to use mobile phones.  If this trend of development continues, we will become a developed and smart Bangladesh before 2041.
