Vision 2021 was thepolitical manifesto of theBangladesh Awami League party before winning theNational Elections of 2008. It stands as apolitical vision ofBangladesh for the year 2021, thegolden jubilee of the nation. The policy has been criticized as a policy emblematic oftechnological optimism in the context of Bangladesh and the state repression of media, low internet penetration, inadequate electricity generation.[1] The Vision 2021 is an articulation of where this nation needs to be in 2021 – the year which marks the 50th anniversary of Bangladesh's independence.
The main goal is for Bangladesh to become a middle-income country where poverty will be eradicated
Further goals include:
Digital Bangladesh implies the broad use of computers, and embodies the modern philosophy of effective and useful use of technology in terms of implementing the promises in education, health, job placement and poverty reduction. The party underscored a changing attitude, positive thinking and innovative ideas for the successes of "Digital Bangladesh".[2][3]
The philosophy of "Digital Bangladesh" comprises ensuring people's democracy and human rights, transparency, accountability, establishing justice and ensuring delivery of government services to the citizens of Bangladesh through maximum use of technology, with the ultimate goal being the overall improvement of the daily lifestyle of general people. This includes all classes of people and does not discriminate people in terms of technology.
The government further emphasized on the four elements of "Digital Bangladesh Vision" which are human resource development, people involvement, civil services and use of information technology in business.
