 INTRODUCTION

The phrasing of “Advanced Bangladesh”, doesn't simply convey the importance of more

exhaustive utilization of PCs, it implies that contemporary reasoning of utilizing and carrying out

cutting edge innovations like Cloud Processing. This wording likewise implies that how cutting-

edge innovation (Cloud Computing) can be executed in a powerful way in destitution, training,

wellbeing, business, work situation is a method by which business improvement, monetary

development and social improvement might upgrade open doors and pay for Bangladeshi

residents. As Cloud Figuring is the following stage of ICT without a doubt in this manner,

utilizing Cloud Computing is the thought behind Digital Bangladesh wording yet Bangladesh

government isn't utilizing the phrasing “Distributed computing” attributable to the way that

greater part of the residents won't grasp the idea. Accordingly, the decision administration of

Bangladesh showed positive perspectives in their reasoning and convinced to carry out

inventive thoughts for the outcome of their “Digital Bangladesh” strategy. The perspective of

"Digital Bangladesh" incorporates freedoms and a vote-based system for the people groups of

Bangladesh, for example, straightforwardness, responsibility, laying out equity and ensuring

circulation of government offices to each entryway by utilization of innovation and with the

objective to work with routine undertakings of residents in Bangladesh. The point of "Digital

6
Bangladesh" phrasing is to assemble the proficiencies that are expected to contend in the

globalized 21st period by utilizing less costly conveyance instruments and computerized

learning conditions.

“Digital Bangladesh” the fantasy of Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheik Hasina, is turning into a

vital day to day conversation subject among Bangladeshi IT trained professionals, writers,

lawmakers, understudies as well as strategy creators.

Notwithstanding, what the “Advanced Bangladesh” expression unequivocally implies is as yet

hazy to numerous residents in Bangladesh. The public authority didn't yet completely indicate

the meaning of “Digital Bangladesh”, nonetheless; government authorities, business pioneers,

media characters, academicians, non-government (NGO) heads and Information Technology

(IT) experts have fostered their own singular implications for "Digital Bangladesh".

AREAS OF RESEARCH

Being the Citizen of a fast-developing country and a person living in the 21 st century I have keep

up with the technological advancement of the society and keep on learning about the

development of society. Thus, I knew exactly where and what I want to find from my research,

but again at the same time this might not be the same for people who is my target audience a. I

wanted to find out if people were aware of the goal “Digital Bangladesh” set by Bangladesh

7
government and find out if people was up to date about the goals set by the government and

only one question comes up when talking about “Digital Bangladesh” which is – A Change Can

We Believe in?”.

Bangladesh is a developing country and most of the people work in primary sector like

producing staple food for example Rice and live in under developed areas. Everyday more

people move from these poor and underdeveloped cities to more developed cities like Dhaka

and Chittagong with a dream to earn more money and support their families and give them a

better life. This thought of more and more people moving to more developed cities got me

thinking if the government and people was ready and had a plan to support them and educate

them about the “Digital Bangladesh” goal.

Another reason I believe the question “A Change Can We Believe In?” is a big question is

because Bangladesh has a huge population of youth who are more obsessed about electronic

devices and are buying more and more of advanced electronic devices than ever before but

again at the same time, they are also leaving Bangladesh for higher studies after completing

their high school in search for better future. This way Bangladesh is also losing the people who

will be able to help and sustain the goal of “Digital Bangladesh”. This got me thinking if the

government thought about the future and how they will they be able to sustain this goal.

HYPOTHESIS

8
The review investigated the " Students' Attitude towards the Digitalization of Bangladesh ". It is

uplifting outlook result is displayed towards the digitalization of Bangladesh. By the expanding

various areas, is the best accomplishment of Bangladesh. By this study is investigated that

understudies are saying thanks to about the few realities of digitalization; schooling area,

wellbeing area, correspondence area, various administrations area is one of them to mull over

about the advanced means. From class five to post-graduation level of Bangladesh are the

disturbing staple of this review to assess by utilizing a few techniques to observe the mentality

of the understudies about the seeming advantages of the digitalization of Bangladesh there

delighted uplifting outlook generally.

METHODOLOGY

The general methodology of this paper is to deliberately survey progressing advanced

improvement patterns in Bangladesh with regards to the Government's vision of computerized

Bangladesh‟. To do as such, an elucidating assessment approach has been followed, which

centers around the course of an intercession, instead of effect assessment. In this review, we

utilize subjective developmental assessment in view of a demonstrated model as the vision for

advanced Bangladesh‟ is a continuous turn of events plan of the current government.

The number of inhabitants in this review included understudy whose are from class five to post

 DATA ANALYSIS AND FINDINGS

It is the world the world refinement of innovation. Bangladesh is attempting to scope that worldwide

civility about the pertinent to ICT development. The public authority of Bangladesh standard Vision-21

to mark Bangladesh digitalize as a country with bouncing chance of utilizing present day advancements .

With keeping peace negotiation in comprehension in this study it is started that 51.7% have PC

of the understudy sort, around 83.3% use entomb with the end goal of instruction for the most

part 96.7% understudy commonly known the digitalization they know the data regularly from

TV and the others sources. In any case, they feel better great than get the advanced means by.

Uniting that each course reading/educational program there included the ICT instruction offer

them better awareness of ICT improvement and singing basic job to the digitalization. They

outfitted their disposition most extreme their schooling bodies gave useful help them to

develop the computerized mode. It is gotten a handle on that around 55% family are not great

conscious roughly the digitalization. From the theory tried outcome it observed there are no

critical connection between having PC (free) and utilizing web (Independent) and the

information on digitalization of the Bangladesh (subject to) the other hand it is sort out that

two autonomous factors are: Digitalization can bring incredible change and extraordinary test

for the public authority steady with the reliant variable supporting digitalization of Bangladesh

there has no huge relationship. That implies the tried outcome demonstrated the development

of gushing outlook about the digitalization. rom the general needle it is initiated that the

understudy ways of behaving for the different fields are:

11
 Digitalization can bring incredible change - Mostly Positive attitude

 Digitalization is muddled – Mostly Positive attitude

 Not very much educated us- Mostly Positive attitude

 Long term process-Mostly Positive attitude

12
Human Resource Development is one of the crucial parts of "Digital Bangladesh". One mark of

the "Digital Bangladesh" idea is to carry more individuals into the ICT business to raise ability

levels who can push ahead also, improve ability levels all through the country. As per Access to

Information (A2I) Program, Prime Minister’s Office, "the vital goal of "Digital Bangladesh" is to

utilize new advances to construct top notch abilities in every aspect of study". The point of

"Digital Bangladesh" is to fabricate the proficiencies that are expected to contend in the

globalized 21st time by utilizing more affordable conveyance instruments and computerized

learning conditions.

Connecting citizens is another fundamental cornerstone of “Digital Bangladesh” concept, which

entails guaranteeing access to “Digital Bangladesh” for every citizen. Finding right channels is

the key objective of this component, so citizens can benefit from all that a “Digital Bangladesh”

could offer. The key aims of this component are making people conscious and capable to access

13
public-services leveraging ICTs, concern related to native languages gratified and making local

content available and ground-breaking access to channels and platforms for common purposes.

Government for Pro-Poor Services In “Digital Bangladesh” policy, one of the key sub-components is

provisioning ICT enabling services, such as eCitizen services, by public agencies. Priority should be given

for those services that are critical for many citizens in various sectors. The main deliverables of an e-

Citizen service initiative are innovative service design and delivery channels that suit citizens’ lifestyles,

which means reducing the number of interactions between service providers and recipients, delivering

in a speedy and cost-effective way and extending service availability to twenty-four hours per day.

The final pillar of “Digital Bangladesh” deals with three broad issues namely access to markets,

promotion of ICT business to support “Digital Bangladesh” business productivity, and ICT as an export-

oriented sector or industry for local and export markets. ICT-based market access mechanisms will not

only benefit disadvantaged producers and businesses by ensuring equitable access to domestic and

international markets but also will enable the government to establish transparent and efficient market

monitoring by implementing ICT policies. The key objective of this section is to influence ICTs to promote

admittance to various marketplaces by less developed businesses. In addition, this component further

includes leveraging ICTs to preserve communally accountable and an unbiased marketplace for all.

Introducing ICT portals, which is called e-Tender is just an example of how ICTs could influence in

different areas of the world to open new chances for the business. The basic objective of this final pillar

of “Digital Bangladesh” is to support the business industry especially SMEs to ensure that it may provide

services and technology needed to sustain the other three components of “Digital Bangladesh”. In

addition, the third sub-section also includes the right foundation for the local businesses to access the

international marketplace.

From questionnaire I have done these are the results-

 SUMMERY

Almost 40 years ago, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the father of the nation, dreamt of a ‘Sonar

Bangla’ where the common citizen of the country lives in prosperity and has equitable access to quality

education, healthcare, law and justice ensured by the government. The current government has

resurrected that vision and made it ready for the 21st century highly globalized world and names its

Digital Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh has its own limitations in resources, capacity and knowledge,

the country’s potential in human resources can be tapped through appropriate use of ICT tools. The

government is committed towards reaching the goal of a knowledge based and middle-income country

16
by 2021. Right to Information Act and ICT Act that provide the enabling environment for citizens’

information access and e-commerce, a network of proactive and ready change agents in the Ministries,

districts and upazilas, a number of initiatives that demonstrate the true concept and benefits of Digital

Bangladesh, a technology-savvy young workforce ready to be guided and led, the country is staring at a

tremendous opportunity to leapfrog. Guidance and assistance from development partners can greatly

accelerate this journey.

CONCLUSIONS

Undoubtedly, concept of “Digital Bangladesh” means using not only ICT but also advanced technology

such as Cloud Computing in every sector throughout the country by citizens. In this study, we have tried

to provide an overall idea of how ICT may bring changes in major outcome areas/key elements of the

concept of “Digital Bangladesh. Although, government is trying to implement various strategies to

transform the country digital but current perspective of Digital Bangladesh concept is still a dream. The

country can be digitally developed by 2021 if the government honestly and clearly implements various

ICT programs with a proper roadmap under a strong leadership.

APPENDIX

I propose to do research on digital Bangladesh and find the advancement in the technical

department of Bangladesh. Although Bangladesh is a developing country, the country

emphasizes digitalization more. But the only problem that is stopping Bangladesh from

completely digitalizing is poverty, as many of the people in this country is still living in poverty.

Understanding the problems and advantages of digitalizing Bangladesh is both for the wealthy

and poor populations of the country. I intend to make a paper for all readers and hope to

discover the advantages, problems, and prospects of digitalizing Bangladesh.
