Digital Bangladesh: Concepts of Development

Computerized Bangladesh: Concepts of Development Foundation The expression Digital Bangladesh, despite the fact that is made out of the getting word Digital, represents an idea which benefits the nation all in all by utilizing Information and Communication Technology for the executives, organization and administration so as to guarantee straightforwardness, responsibility and answerability at all degrees of society and state. Advanced Bangladesh will give us an ICT driven information based society where data will be promptly accessible on line and where every conceivable assignment of the administration, semi-government and furthermore private circles will be prepared utilizing the cutting edge innovation. Along these lines, so as to fabricate a computerized Bangladesh, we should accentuation on proficient and successful utilization of present day ICT in all circles of the general public so as to build up innovation driven e-administration, internet business, e-creation, e-farming, e-wellbeing and so on for underscoring the general improvement of the everyday citizens, the significant partners of the nation. Spine of Digital Bangladesh ICT is the foundation of any computerized activity. It covers the huge zone of data guaranteeing network through the data innovation, correspondence innovation and obviously the media transmission innovation. Without the improvement of the ICT segment, the fantasy of a Digital Bangladesh would not be conceivable. The principle variables of ICT are the physical spine and the insight. PC Systems, Network Machineries, Software, Wire and Wireless Connectivity Systems, Broadcast Hardware and numerous other Hardware and Accessories are the physical spine. The prepared human behind the spine are the mind. To appear the possibility of computerized Bangladesh, improvement of countrywide spine and expected number of human recourses are the fundamental needs. Then again, while mass individuals are concern, accessibility, availability and moderateness must be guaranteed; in any case the goal of building an advanced Bangladesh couldn't be accomplished appropriately. Because of globalization, all the more explicitly because of blasting of ICT like the greater part of the nation of the globe, Bangladesh has just been associated with the outside world through the data super parkway. Connection among advancement and digitization Data innovation decreases costs, spares time, improves proficiency, raises comfort levels and expands the certainty of residents. Consequently, creating nations, for example, Bangladesh should use its intensity to jump destitution boundaries, and advance financial and social turn of events. In any case, we need to remember that innovation (ICT) alone can not lighten economy, nor ensure dynamic help conveyance to residents. It is essential to comprehend that ICT offices Good Governance yet ICT itself don't ensure Good Governance. Status of our nation Media transmission and Internet: spine of correspondence As of not long ago, International Telecommunication System of Bangladesh has been subject to satellite which was moderate and had thin band width. As indicated by Telecommunication Policy of the administration, International Telecommunication Network framework is being controlled now by BTCL. Bangladesh has by and by been associated with Information Super Highway through Submarine Cable since May, 2006. Worldwide Voice Circuits have been expanded by in excess of 200 percent. IPLC (International Private Leased Circuit) has been opened with various organizations. BTCL is associated with Singapore and France and Italy for Internet through 12 X STM-1. The Router limit of BTCL has been upgraded through up-degree of computerized Data Network. Establishment of NGN TAX (Next Generation Trunk Auto Exchange) is going on. It will upgrade the bury area Telecommunication offices. Access Network through Copper Cable, Optical Fiber, x-DSL, Wi-MAX is under procedure with the end goal of bring broadband availability and different offices of the Submarine Cable System to the entryway venture of the endorsers. Cell phone: media of correspondence Over most recent couple of years, an incredible upheaval has occurred in the PDA use in Bangladesh. It is obvious from the table that the quantity of mobile phone endorsers is becoming quickly contrasted and the fixed telephone supporters in Bangladesh. The development pace of fixed telephone supporter was 15.26 percent in 2008. Against this, the development pace of mobile phone supporters remained at 117.57 percent in 2004 and 35 percent in June 2008. PC: instrument of digitization HR: work power for digitization World Scenario This computerized upheaval has made a spic and span financial area that basically didn't exist previously. PCs, present day media transmission and the Internet all lessen correspondence expenses and separate geological fringes. What's more, ICT can be a significant driver in destitution decrease and guarantee continued monetary development, better open government assistance, and solid social robustness and equitable types of government. In the created countries government arrangements are being set up which endeavors to guarantee that all residents will get chance to get to the powerful utilization of ICT so as to empower them to take an interest in the instructive, social and financial exercises and fair procedure. Created nations are getting a lot of advantage from the headway of ICT. Individuals living in created nations have the best access to the quickest PCs, best telephone utilities, serious Internet Service Providers, and an abundance of substance and preparing pertinent to t heir lives. For instance (Legard, 2001): The all out Internet transmission capacity in Africa is equivalent to that in the Brazilian city of Sao Paolo. The all out Internet transmission capacity in all of Latin America is equivalent to that in Seoul, South Korea. As an extent of month to month pay, Internet access in the United States is multiple times less expensive than in Nepal and multiple times less expensive than in Sri Lanka. In the United States, gn 1e6 54.3 percent of residents utilize the Internet, contrasted with a worldwide normal of 6.7 percent. In the Indian subcontinent, the extent is 0.4 percent. The computerized separate the world over is normally estimated through factual lists, for example, the quantity of phone lines, PCs, sites and Internet clients and their proportion to the all out populace. Table:1 shows an image of such kind of measurements of some world including Bangladesh. In spite of the fact that, there is a general augmentation that has been appreciated during the time in different territories of data and correspondence innovations, the improvement is exceptionally negligible as far as worldwide movement and not as great to be referenced as an up and coming data society of the world. Actually, in spite of every one of these enhancements, as per the ICT Development Index, Bangladesh descended 6 spots, from rank 132 of every 2002 to rank 138 out of 2007. This obviously shows there were nations that were positioned underneath Bangladesh in the 2002 file and they accomplished critical upgrades to surpass our position in 2007. The models incorporate some creating and least created nations like Pakistan, Gambia, Cote dIvoire, Senegal, Madagascar, Mauritania and Benin. The nation that extended generally worldwide in positioning is Pakistan, climbing to 19 spots, from the rank 146 out of 2002 to rank 127 out of 2007. Despite the fact that the rank is still low, the advancement has been huge in the previous five years on the grounds that in 2002 there was basically no ICT access and use in the nation, though in 2007, 8% family units had PCs and web entrance arrived at 10.7%. This demonstrates the nation has improved in two regions of ICT while Bangladesh improved fundamentally in one territory, which positioned us beneath Pakistan. Along these lines, a general predictable augmentation in entrance levels beginning from cell phones to fix phone lines and from web to PCs is exceptionally required for making Bangladesh the advanced one. India has driven the utilization of remote detecting satellite data for finding water system ventures. The Internet has been successfully utilized in a portion of the towns to guarantee compelling dispersal of farming ware value data. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in India has utilized IT adequately, to improve intensity of the dairy business and to give advantages to the rustic masses. Towards advanced Bangladesh we can utilize the Indian experience of utilizing ICT in various parts of the farming. Since the greater part of our populace is utilized in agribusiness, our organizer should effectively utilize ICT in horticulture. The Simputer was created by researchers from the Indian Institute of Science, and a product organization called Encore. One can get registering offices at a radically lower cost as simputer just expense US$150 per piece contrasted with US$ 400 for a PC. Further, it has a neighborhood language interface. This is an example of how the researcher, the scholarly world and industry can team up to create innovation to suit a specific economy. We can gain this exercise likewise from our neighboring nation. In Bangladesh, 51% of the populace doesn't approach basic medications. Further, there are just 26 doctors for each 100,000 populace contrasted with 279 for US and 162 for China. ICT can help carry clinical aptitude to Upazilla and District central station. Tele-medication, for example may connect social insurance places in remote areas, through satellites, with super claim to fame emergency clinics at significant towns/urban areas. In this manner it can bring network between patients at remote end, with master specialists, for clinical counsels and treatment. Our inadequacies Access to the Technology Lacking specialized and arrangement limit is a central obstruction to computerized Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the absence of specialized limit and open administrators view of ICT is tricky with respect to issues, for example, movement to IP-based systems, execution of versatile correspondence frameworks, and internet business applications, however limit building measures do exist. One of the main obstructions to compelling e-g
