Abstract

Union Digital Center (UDC) is one-stop service center set up in Bangladesh with a view to providing all sorts of government digital services and ICT facilities to the doorsteps of every citizen residing at the rural peripherals of the country. These newly set up information centers are powered by Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) under the “Access to information (a2i)” project and UDP and other organizations are helping to fulfill the real objectives of “Vision 21” and “Digital Bangladesh”. This paper is an attempt to delineate the present helms of UDCs and possible problems that hinder these information centers from reaching the rural people smoothly with necessary digital equipments and services. This paper also puts forward some recommendations in order to overcome the existing problems.
