UDC

What is UDC and why?

Union Digital Center is a state-of-the-art information and knowledge center (telecentre) set up in the Union Council, which aims to ensure information services at the doorsteps of grassroots people. From this center, people of rural towns can easily get life and livelihood information and necessary services in a familiar environment near their home.

On November 7, the Honorable Prime Minister, from his office and the Administrator of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Miss Helen Clark, united all Union Information and Service Centers (UDC) through a video conference from the Char Kukrimakuri Union in Bhola District. About 100,000 people are receiving information and services from these centers every month. UISC has started to make huge positive changes in the quality of life of the local people through easy, fast and low cost government and private services.

The UISC journey began with the slogan in front of the slogan 'Service at the doorsteps of the people'. With the establishment of the UISC, it has been possible to create a free flow of information in every area of ​​society and the state system, where people are no longer having to go door to door for service, but service is reaching people. The flow of free information is one of the prerequisites for the empowerment of the people. Establishment of information and service centers in the 8 union parishes of the country has paved the way for access to information and services at the fastest time, including participation in the flow of free information to the rural people.

These entrepreneurs are managed by UDC. In some centers, one woman and one male entrepreneur as well as another woman and man are working as 'alternative entrepreneurs'. The entrepreneur is not a paid employee of UDC, the income of each UDC is entrepreneurial income. Entrepreneur is also an investor in UDC.

UDCs are headed by the local government department. Under the direction of the Cabinet Division and the management of the local administration, other activities including the supervision of the UDC were conducted. The LGD and Bangladesh Computer Council (BCC) come from UDC's ICT equipment and training to enhance entrepreneurial skills. The BCC also brought all the Union Councils of the country under electricity by providing solar panels to six powerless unions. Beyond this, many banks, insurance companies, mobile companies, NGOs, educational research institutes, hardware-software associations, etc. are joining UIC with their services, new skills and technical support.
