“Greatest Bengali of all time, Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman is a great inspiration for all of the freedom-loving people across the world. Therefore we have taken multifarious initiatives to spread his strategy, prudence and good sense by using modern technology,” State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak told BSS. “We have released an analytical publication on Bangabandhu’s historic 7th March speech, its e-book edition and mobile application, which was unveiled by Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on November 13, 2017. A demo version of that historic speech has been made in VR (Virtual Reality) and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the app on December 6, 2017, at the ‘Digital World-17’,” he added.
According to the ICT Division sources, Bangabandhu App has been downloaded almost 1lakh times from the Google Play Store. Besides, the publication of analytical book on 7th March speech titled “Bangabandhur Sat-e March Er Bhashon: Rajneetir Mahakabyo” (Bangabandhu’s 7th March Speech: An Epic Poem of Politics) is a compilation of analysis of the 26 renowned political commentators, analysts and academic personalities.
