In an important breakthrough at home in the present world’s fastest-growing sector Bangladeshi, Bangladesh’s telephone industry began manufacturing and assembling laptop and notebook computers.
One can buy a laptop for only Tk 12,000, the cheapest ever in the country, when the high-demand ICT product is marketed commercially.
Telephone Shilpa Sangstha (TSS), the lone state-owned industrial unit for phone manufacturing, Friday started the manufacturing and assembling operations on test in collaboration with a Bangladeshi IT company and a Malaysian machine-manufacturing firm.
After visiting the laptop-manufacturing factory in Tongi, Gazipur, Post and Telecommunications Minister Rajiuddin Ahmed Raju came up with the good news before journalists.
The minister said the low-cost laptop worth Tk 12,000 would be available on the market within this month.
Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the proponent of ‘Digital Bangladesh’, would inaugurate the doyel (magpie)-brand Bangladeshi-made laptop.
TSS Ltd, the state-run telephone-equipment manufacturer, with 2M Corporation Ltd, Dhaka, and TFT Technology, Penang, Malaysia, are assembling and producing the laptop and notebook, sources said.
“Some 10,000 laptops will be produced a month and this quantity will be increased after expansion of the factory,” the minister informed the pressmen.
He disclosed that they have a plan to export laptop after satisfying domestic demand.
“Laptop will be provided to each and every student of every school and college alongside general people,” the minister said, explaining the plan for expansion of the sector of knowledge economy.
“We will be able to build up digital Bangladesh long before 2021,” Raju hoped.
TSS managing director Mohammad Ismail, GM Abdus Samad and high officials of the project were present during his visit.
