Bangladesh National Information Window was launched last June to make various services of the government easily accessible to the people with the help of digital technology. It is actually a web portal made up of 25,000 websites. This review is about how the portal contains the necessary information of the people, how much it is user-friendly, how rich the information is. As part of the government's efforts to bring government services to the doorsteps of the people, the world's largest digital web portal has been launched in Bangladesh. Its name is Bangladesh National Information Window (www.bangladesh.gov.bd). Inaugurating the portal on June 23, Sajeeb Wazed Joy, IT Advisor to the Prime Minister, said,"We have verified that no other country in the world has 25,000 official websites in one place. There is only one in Bangladesh now. ' More than 50,000 government officials have been trained to enter information into the information window. The Access to Information (A2I) program was responsible for its planning and implementation. It is worth mentioning that the website www.bangladesh.gov.bd was already there. However, its scope was less then. It was further said in the inauguration ceremony that this information window is viewed by 1.5 million people every day. According to the ranking and popularity verification website Alexa (www.alexa.com) on the night of 23rd July, the position of the national information window was seen at number 242 among the websites visited from Bangladesh. And the government wants the citizens of the country to use the national information window as a 'one stop service' to get information on agriculture, education, health, law, tourism etc. in the world. It is called the notification of the educational institution,Gazette, e-services, government forms, citizen charters, list of officials of various government organizations, more than seven lakh e-directories, list of freedom fighters, development activities of the government, names, addresses, phone numbers of people's representatives, etc. Available. 4,550 at Union level, 14,480 at Upazila level, 4032 at District level, 455 at Division level, 64 at District Council level, 48 at Upazila Parishad level, 55 at Ministry-Division level, 345 at Department level and 414 at City Corporation and Municipality level. Information window has been created. There is even an English version of it to introduce Bangladesh to the world, which is commendable. However, there are discrepancies between the Bengali and English versions in providing information. For example, the front page of the Bengali version reads: 'All unions, upazilas, districts, divisions, departments,Construction of about 25,000 web portals (information windows) for all government departments including the ministry has been completed. With the launch of the portal in all departments, access to information and services of the people will be easier. On the other hand, the English version says that more than 25,000 portals have been created which are in trial (beta version). Thus, information and statistics of Bengali and English versions can be seen all over the window.
