Dhaka — The Posts and Telecommunications Minister Mustafa Jabbar has termed digital connectivity as a vehicle for the development of civilization in the future.
He said there is no alternative to acquiring digital skills to meet the challenges of digital technology in the future, including artificial intelligence, robotics, and IoT.
The Minister called upon the government as well as Rotarians to come forward to build a digital skills creation movement to grow the new generation as a tool for establishing a knowledge-based digital equity-society.
Mustafa Jabbar made the call in a speech as the chief guest at a virtual event organized by the Rotary Club of Anand Dhara, Dhaka in the capital on Saturday night to mark the 7th Chartered Day.
