And that is a great reflection of their desire for advanced knowledge and opportunities. Youth are the key driver of nation’s growth. We need to empower the students with a collaborative effort whenever we can. Hence, we are pleased to initiate multiple competition, strengthening the youth’s knowledge in the technology sector. We are working continuously with Bangladesh’s government to promote digitalization and youth skill development,”
