Addressing the seminar, Chief Advisor's Special Assistant Dr Tamim emphasized computer-based skill development of government officials, saying that e-Governance could ease and accelerate the country's development process.
"Government officials must have the knowledge about the information communications technology (ICT) to improve their efficiency," he said while launching at the function a book titled "eGovernment for Bangladesh: Strategy Pathway to Success".
Information systems researcher Ahmed Imran, Australian IT expert Tim Turner and professor of Australian National University Shirley Gregor are the joint authors of the book.
National Centre for Information System Research (NCISR), ANU College of Business and Economics and the Australian National University of Canberra jointly published the book under a project in Bangladesh supported by AusAID.
Dr. Tamim, a former BUET teacher, said country's young generation has to be connected with the internet service to improve their level of efficiency.
The programme at Dhaka Sheraton Hotel was also addressed, among others, by Australian High Commissioner in Dhaka Douglas Foskett, Executive Director of Bangladesh Computer Council Zabed Ali Sarker and Secretary of the Science and ICT Ministry Wahiduzzaman.
"People will get better service at the earliest if the whole systems were brought into ICT," Wahiduzzaman told the function.
