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 overall 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 best in class innovation. Along these lines, so as to fabricate an advanced Bangladesh, we should accentuation on proficient and viable utilization of present day ICT in all circles of the general public so as to set up innovation driven e-administration, web based 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 advanced activity. It covers the tremendous region of data guaranteeing availability through the data innovation, correspondence innovation and obviously the media transmission innovation. Without the advancement of the ICT part, the fantasy of a Digital Bangladesh would not be conceivable. The primary elements of ICT are the physical spine and the acumen. 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 emerge the possibility of advanced Bangladesh, improvement of countrywide spine and expected number of human recourses are the fundamental needs. Then again, while mass individuals are concern, accessibility, openness 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 mo re explicitly because of blasting of ICT like the vast majority 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 effectiveness, raises comfort levels and builds the certainty of residents. Thus, creating nations, for example, Bangladesh should use its intensity to jump neediness hindrances, and advance financial and social turn of events. However, we need to remember that innovation (ICT) alone can not lighten economy, nor ensure dynamic help conveyance to residents. It is critical 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 tight band width. As indicated by Telecommunication Policy of the administration, International Telecommunication Network framework is being managed 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 improved through up-degree of advanced Data Network. Establishment of NGN TAX (Next Generation Trunk Auto Exchange) is going on. It will upgrade the bury locale 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 extraordinary transformation has occurred in the mobile phone utilization in Bangladesh. It is clear from the table that the quantity of PDA endorsers is becoming quickly contrasted and the fixed telephone supporters in Bangladesh. The development pace of fixed telephone endorser was 15.26 percent in 2008. Against this, the development pace of phone endorsers remained at 117.57 percent in 2004 and 35 percent in June 2008. PC: device of digitization HR: work power for digitization World Scenario This computerized upset has made a fresh out of the box new financial part that basically didn't exist previously. PCs, current media transmission and the Internet all lessen correspondence expenses and separate land fringes. Also, ICT can be a significant driver in neediness decrease and guarantee continued financial development, better open government assistance, and solid social robustness and popularity based 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 successful utilization of ICT so as to empower them to take part in the instructive, social and financial exercises and popularity based 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 their lives. For instance (Legard, 2001): The all out Internet data transfer capacity in Africa is equivalent to that in the Brazilian city of Sao Paolo. The all out Internet data transfer 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 far and wide is normally estimated through measurable files, for example, the quantity of phone lines, PCs, sites and Internet clients and their proportion to the complete 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 delighted in during the time in different territories of data and correspondence advancements, the improvement is extremely insignificant as far as worldwide movement and not as great to be referenced as an up and coming data society of the world. Truth be told, in spite of every one of these enhancements, as indicated by the ICT Development Index, Bangladesh descended 6 spots, from rank 132 out of 2002 to rank 138 out of 2007. This obviously shows there were nations that were positioned underneath Bangladesh in the 2002 list 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 r ank is still low, the advancement has been critical in the previous five years on the grounds that in 2002 there was practically no ICT access and use in the nation, though in 2007, 8% families had PCs and web entrance arrived at 10.7%. This demonstrates the nation has improved in two zones of ICT while Bangladesh improved fundamentally in one zone, which positioned us beneath Pakistan. Thus, a general reliable augmentation in infiltration levels beginning from cell phones to fix phone lines and from web to PCs is profoundly 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 viably utilized in a portion of the towns to guarantee viable scattering of farming ware value data. The National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) in India has utilized IT viably, 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 farming, our organizer should effectively utilize ICT in agribusiness. The Simputer was created by researchers from the Indian Institute of Science, and a product organization called Encore. One can get processing 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 occurrence of how the researcher, the scholarly community and industry can work together 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 every 100,000 populace contrasted with 279 for US and 162 for China. ICT can help carry clinical ability to Upazilla and District base camp. Tele-medication, for example may interface medicinal services communities in remote areas, through satellites, with super claim to fame emergency clinics at significant towns/urban communities. Subsequently it can bring availability between patients at remote end, with expert specialists, for clinical discussions and treatment. Our inadequacies Access to the Technology Lacking specialized and arrangement limit is a key hindrance to advanced Bangladesh. In Bangladesh, the absence of specialized limit and open directors view of ICT is tricky as to issues, for example, relocation to IP-based systems, execution of portable correspondence frameworks, and internet business applications, however limit building measures do exist. One of the central obstructions to successful e-g
