State Minister for Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Zunaid Ahmed Palak on Wednesday said over 1 lakh organizations in the country will be connected to high-speed internet optical fibre cable within the next six months.
“Labour force is declining now in many countries across the world. Nonetheless, we have 70 per cent labour force in our country,” the minister said.
“If we transform them into manpower, you will not have to run after jobs. Youths can transform themselves into manpower and create employment with this target,” he added.
The state minister said this while speaking at the inauguration program of the Rajshahi Divisional Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Summit at Singra Upazila of Natore district.
Natore Deputy Commissioner Abu Naser Bhuiyan, Superintendent of Police Saifur Rahman, Bangladesh Association of Contact Centre and Outsourcing (BACCO) President Wahed Sharif, General Secretary Towhid Hossain and others were present on the occasion.
