Present world is not of competition, but of collaboration: Palak

State Minister for Information and Communi-cation Technology (ICT) Zunaid Ahmed Palak has said the present world is not of competition, but of collaboration, reports UNB.

"The more collaboration, the more life can be made easier. To this end, there are opportunities for private sector partnerships in the current coordination between the ICT Division and various ministries," he said while appearing as a guest on the first episode of 'bKash Digital Life' aired on Channel i recently.

The state minister said that not only urban people but also the rural ones have become accustomed to the digital life and digital technology has revolutionized the way people live their lives.

He believes that the initiative taken by this government 12 years ago to build a Digital Bangladesh is the basis of creating this digital habit today, said a media release.

Palak added that the digital services have become accessible to the masses due to the contribution of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and her ICT Advisor Sajeeb Wazed Joy.

Regarding the bKash app, the state minister said that the latest customized and personalized solutions of bKash are very attractive.

Palak hopes that the bKash app will become a super app in a developed Bangladesh by 2041.
