The incumbent government’s commendable initiatives throughout the years has made revolutionary changes in every aspect of life. Digitalisation and e-governance have made life a whole lot easier. However, it is good to note that the government has undertaken a project to set up digital leadership academies in 64 districts for a digital economy and to ensure its flourishment in Bangladesh.

The project will increase the income of the IT sector by creating a conducive environment for the digital economy in Bangladesh, infrastructure development, skills development, and job creation.

The project will also play an important role in creating a conducive environment for the digital economy in the country by achieving economic growth through enhancing digital capabilities, creating infrastructural facilities for transformation into developed countries by 2041, creating employment through research, training and innovation.

The government has been working relentlessly to build a strong ICT backbone and this has led to expansion of information and communication technology to rural areas. This is a significant step to achieve government’s quest of becoming a developed country by 2041.
