Digital Bangladesh- point counterpoint

Merely believed an imitating political GOSPEL words. I used to find a real time ANS! to this end but failed to reach out. At large, have been resolved my BIG Q, "DIGITAL Bangladesh has been a buzzword in the policy arena since the AL-led coalition government came to power. We heard many times that the government wants to build a digital Bangladesh by the year 2021." We are in a state of grand political gala goo-la of empty Vessels sounds !? Let's identify and learn from the learned .... 

"Demystifying Digital Bangladesh" An well written topics on "Digital Bangladesh" concept by Mr. A.J.M. Shafiul Alam Bhuiyan, Ph.D is a faculty member in the Department of Mass Communication and Journalism at the University of Dhaka. Published On: 2010-07-15, The Daily star edition. 

As an academic with specialization on internet governance and ICT policies, out of his moral obligation he try to put more light on the concept so that people can make judgments about the government's goal. Let's read out a few para directly from the author.

"What does "Digital Bangladesh" entail as a concept? I have reviewed the relevant government documents to understand the concept but failed to learn much about it. The most articulate definition of "Digital Bangladesh" provided by the government, is available from the website of the Board of Investment at the Prime Minister's Office.                                                                                                                                                       
It says: " 'Digital Bangladesh' does not only mean the broad use of computers, perhaps it means the effective and useful use of technology in terms of implementing the promises in education, health, job placement, poverty reduction,etc." This definition does not signify the specialty of the concept."
