In 2008, Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina announced that Bangladesh would be digitalized by 2021. We have seen the benefits of this digital Bangladesh during the Corona pandemic.

During this Corona period, when many countries of the world experienced negative growth of, Bangladesh has achieved the highest economic growth. In the meantime, he said to the young generation, you have to read books of Bangabandhu - The Unfinished Memoirs, Prison Diary and New China. If you read these books, you will understand why you will take Bangabandhu as your role model. Bangabandhu gave you an independent country, Bangladesh is yours and you are the future of Bangladesh. You have to play a role in building the country by holding the ideals of Bangabandhu in your heart. If the door of knowledge is closed, wise people cannot be found.

I do not believe in the conventional education system, the way we have read and written, the world is not in that same place, now a digital transformation of education is needed. At the same time, he said, universities need to encourage students to innovate. Their inventions need to be protected and commercialized through intellectual property.

Speaking as the Special Guest, Chairman, BoT, NSU, Mr. Azim Uddin Ahmed said, the name of Bangabandhu is highly appreciated all over the world as the leader of the oppressed people and the leader of the masses. In the eyes of world leaders, he is like the Himalayas. The freedom of Bengalis came from the leadership of Bangabandhu. An independent nation called Bangladesh was born in the heart of the world.

He dreamed of liberation for the people of Bangladesh. Today we have established ourselves as a developing and dignified nation in the whole world by overcoming hunger and poverty under the strong leadership of her worthy daughter of Bangabandhu, Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. If Bangabandhu had not been born, Bangladesh would not have been born. Bangabandhu has given all the directions on how to run our country, as he gave full instructions for our liberation war in his speech on the historical speech of 7th March. In the meantime, he also said, all of us should work together to realize the dream of the government to build a Digital Bangladesh.
