President M Abdul Hamid asked the ICT Division, University Grants Commission (UGC) and University authorities to take the effective measures to apply the Unified University Management Software in the universities.
The head of the state came up with the directive on Monday while State Minister for ICT Division Zunaid Ahmed Palak presented a concept paper on “Integrated University Information Management Platform and Unified University Management Software” before him at Bangabhaban here.
President Hamid said the new app will play the key role in exchanging and sharing the services among their students, teachers and all concerned, Press Secretary Joynal Abedin told reporters.
By using this software, people would get their desired services within shortest possible time. It will also help to reduce the cost and time as well, he added.
Abdul Hamid hoped that the app would help to ensure the transparency and accountability in university activities while service-seekers would get their necessary services easily.
Giving a patient hearing to the concept paper presentation by the ICT State Minister, the President said, “Digital Bangladesh is not a dream now, it is reality. People are taking 150 kinds of service from digital centres across the country.”
He said some 10,500 entrepreneurs provide over 6.4 million services every month while 36 million beneficiaries are availing of e-services.
