Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Sunday said soldiers have been prepared for making Bangladesh a developed country by 2041 as the young generation is availing of the opportunities to flourish their talents in this Digital Bangladesh, reports UNB.
“Now, I don’t have to worry any more. Of course, Bangladesh would be a developed Bangladesh in 1941.
The biggest thing is that our soldiers for building Bangladesh as a developed country are ready,” she said.
The Prime Minister was addressing the celebration of Digital Bangladesh Day-2021 and Digital Bangladesh Award Distribution Ceremony at the city’s Bangabandhu International Conference Centre, joining it virtually from her official residence Ganobhaban.
A total of 24 individuals, teams and organisations — 12 from the national level and 12 from the district level-received the Digital Bangladesh Award-2021 in recognition of their outstanding contributions to the digital sector.
On behalf of the Prime Minister, State Minister for ICT Zunaid Ahmed Palak handed over the awards to the recipients.
Pointing at the award recipients, Hasina said she is no longer worried about the fulfilment of her Vision 2041 of turning Bangladesh into a developed and prosperous country since many youths received the awards and now got the scope to flourish their talents.
“I can say from today I don’t have to worry anymore …we’ve already advanced far in the way to build a technology and knowledge-based society. Inshallah, Bangladesh will move forward,” she said.
The Prime Minister congratulated the youths and other award recipients.
The Digital Bangladesh is being observed with the theme of ‘Digital Bangladesh-er Arjan, Upokrito Sokol Jonogon’ (The Achievement of Digital Bangladesh: Beneficiaries are All People).
