A three-day "Digital Innovation Fair-2011" began at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Novotheatre in the capital city on July 6. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated the fair jointly organized by the Ministry of Science and Information and Communications Technology, Access to Information Programme (A2I) under Prime Minister's Office and Divisional Commissioners' Office of Dhaka.
A total of 80 institutions under different ministries and departments and six others private organizations have been displaying their services in the fair. At least 31 institutions would be given "Digital Innovation Fair-2011 Award" at the second day of the fair tomorrow. Besides, three seminars on various subjects would be held at the fair premises during the three day fair.
"Despite economic and skilled manpower limitations, we have to remove corruption and misrule through ensuring best use of technology for building a people-oriented government system," she said.
Mentioning her government's firm desire to reach different services to the people without any hassle, Sheikh Hasina said those who are working in public administration and giving leadership in service sector have to "think afresh and bringing changes to their mentalities" as her government is committed to bring service to the doorsteps of people.
"We want to make sure that people will not come to get government service, rather service will go to their doorsteps. We have to innovate how and in what way we can ensure service for the maximum population of the country, she said.
The first "Digital Innovation Fair-2010" was held in Dhaka in March last year. During the fair more than 200 public and private institutions displayed their digital services before the people.-BSS
