UNB, Chittagong :
Speakers here on Saturday opined that expansion of outsourcing and e-commerce at the grassroots level can make the educated youths of rural areas self-reliant.
They expressed the view at a workshop jointly organised by Trinomuler Tahthyajanala Programme of ICT Division and Tathyaseba Barta Sangstha (TSB) at Chittagong Government Teachers, Training College (TTC).
Addressing the progamme, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Secretary Shyam Sunder Sikder said a programme has been launched to provide training on writing reports and features, outsourcing and e-commerce to 10,000 entrepreneurs of the country’s 4,550 UDCs.
“With the capacity building of writing reports and features, the UDC entrepreneurs will be turned as ‘info leaders’ who will also work to turn the UDCs as mini business process outsourcing (BPO) centres,” he said.
He said the world trend to become self-reliant is higher than any time in the past and outsourcing has become one of the main tools to be self-reliant.
The training on outsourcing will create an opportunity for the educated youngsters to get similar trainings at the UDCs and earn foreign currency through outsourcing job, while the training on e-commerce will ensure the fair price of the commodities produced at villages, the ICT Secretary said.
Ajit Kumer Sarker, Communication Specialist of Leveraging ICT for Growth, Employment and Governance (LICT) Project, said the UDC entrepreneurs will play an important role in creating info-educated people at villages if they are provided with training on writing reports and news features.
Chief News Editor of United News of Bangladesh (UNB) Mahfuzur Rahman said the UDC entrepreneurs must know which information is necessary for people before writing any report or feature.
TSB Executive Editor Dr Aliur Rahman made a power-point presentation on the overall activities of the Trinomuler Tathyajanala Programme at the function chaired by Principal of TTC Rupesh Chowdhury.
A total of 32 local journalists and UDC entrepreneurs of Chittagong and Sylhet divisions took part in the workshop.
