BSS, Dhaka :
Prime Minister’s Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Adviser Towfiq-e-Elahi Chowdhury assured that the government would formulate a policy soon for simplifying the payment system to pave the way for Bangladeshi mobile app developers to register with the various app stores like google and nokia.
The assurance came on Friday when the mobile app developers attending a final round of training programme at the boot camp set up at Dhaka University Senate Bhaban raised a point that they are failing to register with various app stores including google and nokia due to lack of policy to give payment to the app stores against sale of their developed apps.
“We will try to formulate a policy soon to simplify the payment system for selling of mobile apps of Bangladeshi developers through the various app stores,” Chowdhury said. He said that he will personally take initiative to sit with Bangladesh Bank Governor and ICT Division Secretary next week to resolve the issue.
Chowdhury called upon the application (app) developers to utilize their potentials and tap business from the global mobile app market.
“Bangladesh has young educated talent pool who are capable to secure business from the billion dollar app market if they were provided with necessary training,” he said.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Division Secretary Md. Nazrul Islam Khan who chaired the inaugural function said that the government is developing 70,000 freelancers across the country with a target to build IT industrialists.
“Our next move is to develop a significant number of freelancers as entrepreneurs and then as Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) professionals,” he said adding finally the BPO will be developed as IT industrialists.
Over 400 youngsters of Dhaka Division who had received five-day trainings took one-day training at the Boot Camp organized by the National Mobile Application Development Awareness and Capacity Building Programme (NMADACBP) of ICT Division. The function was addressed, among others, by Vice-Chancellor of Dhaka University Professor AAMS Arefin Siddique, Leveraging ICT project director Md Rezaul Karim, Communication Consultant of Leveraging ICT project Ajit Kumar Sarkar and Project Director of NMADACBP Dr Md Abul Hasan.
