The Star Weekend published an article titled "ICT can drive away graft" on December 28, 2017. First off, I would like to thank The Daily Star for introducing ICT Awards to inspire information technology-based companies. Arguably, ICT is one of the most important sectors in Bangladesh right now and has the potential to change the country rapidly. As the Star Weekend's article emphasised, the use of ICT can pave the way for solving our everyday problems.

Bangladesh has experienced considerable growth in the ICT sector over the years, but we have some limitations. In my opinion, for the ICT sector to grow smoothly, the government must ensure that speedy internet is available everywhere at a lower cost. It should take steps to set up digital labs, establish a proper environment, inspire people and stop the brain drain. Only then can we expect a boom in this sector.
