9 thousand 867 students studying in 9th and 10th classes in Chattogram are getting Tablet PCs under the Census and Household Census 2021 project. Chittagong Deputy Commissioner Abul Basar Mohammad Fakhruzzaman inaugurated the PC distribution program at Chattogram Deputy Commissioner’s office on Thursday (March 30). He handed over the tabs to 18 students of Government Muslim High School in the opening ceremony.
Urging everyone to be aware of the use of social media, Deputy Commissioner Abul Basar Mohammad Fakhruzzaman said that today’s students are one of the key artisans of creating a smart generation and a smart citizen. So there is no option to improve them in information technology. The smart generation needs to be more aware in the use of information technology especially social media. A strict attitude must be taken against all forms of drugs, terrorism, juvenile delinquency and rumours. Above all, smart citizens will be the first component of smart Bangladesh through the hands of this smart generation.
The Deputy Commissioner also said that today’s students are going to be the leaders of Sheikh Hasina, the daughter of Prime Minister Bangabandhu, who is dreaming of building a smart Bangladesh in 2041. Therefore, smart generation is needed to build a smart Bangladesh. Those who will be frugal in the use of state resources such as: gas, electricity, water etc., will be strongly convinced in protecting the environment and biodiversity. Apart from conventional education, they will participate in various sports and cultural activities including science club, robotics, scouting, debating and so on. They will build the golden Bangladesh of Bangabandhu’s non-communal spirit through tasteful and elegant behavior.
The district administrator said that this tablet is being distributed as a gift from the honorable Prime Minister with the aim of increasing the knowledge of information technology among students of all levels from the village to the city. In continuation of this, there are 603 MPO-affiliated schools, 19 and 37 schools and colleges and 290 general (Aliya) madrasas in 15 Upazilas including Chattogram metropolis.
