Dhaka, Bangladesh (BBN)– All services of government offices at district, upazila (sub-district) and union levels will turn into e- service (electronic service) under a National E-service System (NESS) to provide hassle-free quick services to the people.
“Development of NESS is at the final stage as piloting of the system is successfully going on in 250 government offices of Jessore district,” National Project Director of the Support to Digital Bangladesh (A2I) Program Nazrul Islam Khan told a workshop at the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) in the capital Dhaka on Friday.
Cabinet Division and the A2I program jointly organized the workshop on ‘e-service’ attended by deputy commissioners (DCs) of all districts.
Mr. Nazrul Islam also urged the DCs to strengthen their monitoring on the union information service centres (UISCs) for smooth functioning of the centres.
