The BASIS Outsourcing Award-2020 was organized to encourage individuals and organizations in achieving the government’s target of earning 5 billion US dollars by 2025. Bank Asia, LICT Project and IBPC collaborated and sponsored the event.
Prime Minister’s Private Sector Industry and Investment Adviser Salman Fazlur Rahman, MP, said, “At present, 3800 unions have been brought under fiber optic facility. Rest of the unions will be given the same facility very soon. Bank Asia has done a great job by serving the freelancers. We have to focus on developing skills just the way technology is developing. Not only on export, but also we need to focus on meeting the digital demands of our country. For that, government is establishing ICT centers at every district to take the country forward in ICT sector. He thanked and expressed his regards towards BASIS for organizing such an event.”
State Minister for Information and Communication Technology Division Zunaid Ahmed Palak, MP, said, “50 years back from now, Bangabandhu said only Dhaka does not represent the whole Bangladesh. Bangladesh will develop through the development of thousands of those villages outside Dhaka. Honorable Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is taking the country forward by implementing Bangabandhu’s idea of decentralization. Virtual cards will be given to ICT freelancers from ICT Division to help them recover their identity crises, and they will be able to avail various facilities using that.”
AKM Rahmatullah, Chairman of the Parliamentary Standing Committee of the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunications and Information Technology, said, “Henry Kissinger in 1974 said Bangladesh is a bottomless basket! But from that bottomless basket, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is taking Digital Bangladesh forward with the cooperation of 16 crore people.”
