Bangladesh is now constantly moving from Digital Bangladesh to Smart Bangladesh. I strongly believe that the efforts of these two students will help us in our journey. I expect more such creative work from the students in future.
Saikat and Anupom said, As we set out to explore and articulate the multifaceted facets of this digital revolution in the context of Bangladesh, we found ourselves drawn together as co-authors-two individuals impassioned by technology’s potential to shape our homeland’s future. “Towards Smart Bangladesh: Navigating Tomorrow’s Digital Landscape” is the culmination of our collective vision, a collaborative effort to shed light on the promising opportunities and challenges ahead.
It is not just a book but a call to action. It is an invitation to join hands, embrace the digital age with open arms, and to co-create a future that is not just prosperous but equitable, sustainable, and truly Smart, they added. Let us embark on this journey together, fueled by the shared dream of a Smart Bangladesh, a nation where technology is not a luxury but a tool for progress, a bridge to a brighter tomorrow for all, they also added.
