Abu Sufian, a middle-aged rural man, wanted to make a passport to materialize his long wishes of performing hajj, but he had no idea about how to make the passport and he had also little knowledge about internet.

As per the suggestion of his younger son, he visited the Bangladesh National Portal and found the Department of Immigration and Passport. From the website, he had been able to know all rules about making a passport, reports BSS.

"The portal has made it easy to know the way of making passport. As per the rules, I have been able to make my passport easily and now the process of going to perform the hajj is underway. I want to express my gratitude to Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina as she took steps to build Digital Bangladesh," said Abu Sufian, a dweller of a remote village under Sonagazi Upazila in Feni district.

Tania Ferdous, a young woman, took the birth registration certificate of her newborn baby through taking help from the national portal. She visited the national portal and entered the Office of the Registrar General birth and death registration. That time, she completed online registration and after a few days, she received the birth registration certificate through her union council.

"For the national portal, I didn't face any problem to find out the site of birth registration. The process of accessing the online form is very easy. Actually, I received my newborn baby's birth registration certificate within a short time and without any hassle," said Tania.

Mohammad Rafiq, a farmer of the remote village Bijoy Kara under the Chauddagram upazila in Cumilla district, faced problems as his crops were infested with insects.

He used many things to save his crops and also took suggestions from the nearest ones. At last, as per his school going son's suggestion, he went to the Union Digital Centre (UDC) and visited the Bangladesh National Portal. Through the portal, he entered Agriculture Portal and submitted a question regarding his problem.

As per the suggestion of the Agriculture specialist, he made his crops insects-free within a short time.

"For the portal, I was able to save my crops from insects. Now, I am able to take preparation for keeping my crops insects-free," said farmer Mohammad Rafiq.

Not only Abu Sufian, Tania Ferdous and Mohammed Rafiq, thousands of people across the country are taking benefits from over 51,500 websites under the Bangladesh National Portal.
