According to recent media reports, the government has initiated a move to bring under a computer networking system all offices of divisional commissioners, deputy commissioners and upazila nirbahi officers. For the purpose, separate email addresses have been created for each official at the district and the upazila levels under division-wise email groups. With the implementation of the new system, electronic mails will replace the post in administrative offices down to upazila to expedite dispatch of official orders and get quick response from field level. The government, as part of the move, has decided to provide all deputy commissioners and upazila nirbahi officers across the country with laptops to enable local administrators to accelerate their official communications with the ministries and all other tiers directly through the Internet.

Both at the centre and at the field level, officials would have to speed up their activities making use of the latest technology in running the country's administration as a whole in a faster and efficient way. In this regard, the establishment division of the government earlier asked all the DCs to communicate and make all official correspondences with it through emails. The secretary himself will see the emails from field level administrations and respond to those.

According to the phase-wise plan under the networking, first all the 64 DCs would be connected giving them their respective email IDs and passwords along with all the required instructions. Later all the 481 UNOs would be connected by giving them email IDs and passwords by extending the network at all tiers of the administration. All relevant officials have been given the required training on information communication technology. The new networking is a must to meet the demands of the day and, undoubtedly, it would be of immense benefit for the country.
