Like other countries across the globe, Bangladesh is preparing to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR). In this regard, country’s all people especially the youths will have to go ahead adopting the latest innovations in science and technology.
We all especially our educated and qualified youths will have to get prepared in order to take the advantage of 4IR. In this regard, the government has already attached importance on artificial intelligence, block chain, Internet of Things, nano-technology, biotechnology, robotics, microprocessor designing and other areas to lead in the 4IR.
As the invention of steam engine, use of electricity and invention of transistor had changed the course of human civilization through creating massive industrialisation, these three incidents are identified as three industrial revolutions. We must build efficient and skilled human work forces capable of working for the revolution.
We believe the government
will do everything
possible to build efficient
human force fit for
working in
the 4IR
Our youths will play a vital role towards elevating the socio-economic condition of the country besides infusing dynamism into its industrial sector. However, there will be many challenges of the 4IR and we have to take preparation to face the challenges competently. Although there is risk of job loss due to emergence of 4IR but the opportunities including creation of new jobs are enormous. If these opportunities are effectively utilised, it would increase jobs twofold than the jobs expected to be lost.
As the frontier technology based innovations and startups will create scope of jobs in different areas including health, agriculture, education and finance, nearly three million people are expected to be provided training to build their capacity on 4IR in the next five years. We hope these trained people would play a vital role in bringing about positive changes in society and turning Bangladesh into a developed and prosperous nation by 2041.
We believe the government will do everything possible to build efficient human force fit for working in the 4IR. And, our young people will be equipped with the knowledge of science and technology side by side with humanitarian and patriotic zeal.
