After long discussion and research, on 25 September 2015, the United Nation adopted 15 years of sustainable development goals, known 95 SDG. In the unanimous decisions of 195 member countries, the priority based 17 development targets (the target of which is 169 goals) were adopted. It has been mentioned that these targets have to be achieved by 2030 so that the world can develop in the humanitarian, hunger free, impartial modern society.
The main 17 goals are- (1) No poverty, (2) Zero hunger, (3) Good health and well being for people, (4) Quality education, (5) Gender Equality, (6) Clean water and sanitation, (7) Affordable and clean energy, (8) Logical Decent work and economic growth, (9) Industry, Innovation and infrastructure, (10) Reduced Inequalities, (11) Sustainable cities and communities, (12) Responsible consumption and production, (13) Climate Action, (14) Life below water, (15) Life on land, (16) Peace, Justice and strong institutions, (17) Partnerships for the goals.
Everybody’s idea about these goals is not transparent. Many believe that the United Nations has set it and the United Nations will implement it. This idea is wrong. Countries must adopt their own strategies to achieve the goals. For this reason, almost all the countries including Bangladesh have adopted and following their own strategy papers to implement the SDG. The United Nation promised countries that they would provide financial and technical support to implement the SDG. In addition each year in July, the United Nations Head Quarters in New York reviewed the progress of the SDG, Bangladesh regularly participates in it. As a result, other countries including Bangladesh, can companies, their progress and consider error-related mistakes and they can adjust themselves if necessary. In SDG implementation strategy, almost all goals are considered important for Bangladesh. The United Nations has also carried out research on the relationship and the role of information technology with these strategies implemented by different countries and ITU has recently published a guide. It is necessary to keep these indicators in mind to implement Digital Bangladesh. Below is a list of relevant parts for Bangladesh.

Bangladesh has taken the initiative to implement sustainable development goals by 2030 and we believe these ideas made by ITU has been kept in it. These issues are particularly important in the implementation of digital Bangladesh.
