Expansion of villages in Bangladesh means construction of new houses, planned and unplanned industrialization and expansion of road connectivity. Above all, due to the inevitabiএlity of urbanization, the cultivable land is rapidly declining. In some parts of the country, the middle ground is lost as the villages get closer. Therefore, awareness has already emerged among the common people to take various steps to protect the cultivable land.
Meanwhile, researchers have considered compact villageships to protect arable land from rural housing expansion. More interestingly, this theory can be easily applied in Bangladesh. Who needs more here.
Compact Villageship means that village houses can be built on a single basis, first by houses, then gradually by bringing villages, wards and even unions closer together, at least 80 percent of the land in an upazila can be freed from unnecessary housing. In other words, accommodation can be arranged for the remaining 20 percent of the total population of the upazila. Note that rural life will not be disrupted. Some studies have shown, even only 5 percent of the total population of that upazilas can be accommodated. But rural life will remain intact. The point is, how delicate and perfect information we are applying in this case.
Now the question is, what is the relationship of Digital Bangladesh with Compact Village in that sense? In fact, in a compact village, it is possible to build visible infrastructure such as roads, schools-colleges, universities, hospitals, research as well as digital infrastructure easily and at low cost. Installation is more visible in the visible infrastructure, and more work can be seen through it than in digital infrastructure. In fact the metropolitan area network method of networking technology will be used here. Even this network can be added to the onslaught of information technology. As a result, a remote villager of Bangladesh can also be a resident of Global Village. In the meantime, the residents of the Compact Village can work in Dhaka even if they stay at their village home. In this case, he may have to come to Dhaka once a month or even once a year for work. Note that as a result of the development of the digital system, he will have to come to Dhaka at one stage. As mentioned earlier, if every house in the village could be set up as a single compact village or digital village, there would be bloodshed on the issue of 'I will give life, I will not give land'. So to avoid unnecessary hassle, khas land or almost abandoned char area can be chosen for setting up a digital village.
The good news is that once it is able to set an example, it will become a compact village or digital village in Bangladesh without bloodshed. Since man is not just a citizen of any place or country, he is also a citizen of time. That is, the time at which he was born is also considered. And our descendants will be more affected by the chronological identity than our ancestors. This means that people of any age will use it more or pretend to be that identity than the country in which they were born. So there is no risk of bloodshed in the future in creating a digital village.
