Hope in Despair

Despite wilderness of despairs a piece of tiny news on the DS on 7th Dec. blows a gentle bridge of hope and aspiration in my mind. Ravi Sharma, managing director and president of Alcatel South Asia, in talks to the DS told, "this is the high time for BD to get preparation at a stake in the global software industry before the country is connected with SEA-ME-WE4 network".

He adds that BD can earn $2 billion every year. I also agree with this statement. And urge, for prompting our development, Govt. should at once take consideration about preparing a road map for it. Ravi rightly remarks that knowledge of computer of Bangladeshis and Indians are almost same. If the engineers and software developer get proper facility they will remain not so back to the other countries. These Engineers and students are showing their skill in abroad and competition. Why would not they do so if they get proper atmosphere in our country?

Now a large number of educated young are seeking employment. If they do not get employed the frustration would engulf them and they would be derailed which make depression of law and order. So the Government, I think, keeping aside others thinking, will take necessary action, otherwise other countries bold footings by the times will make hard ice path of ours in the global software market.
