Special Assistant Fayez Ahmed criticized the country’s digital development over the past 15 years, saying it created “digital islands” instead of a cohesive digital Bangladesh. He noted that although public services are undergoing transformation, integration has been limited.

He praised the Land Ministry for its significant progress in digital transformation, stating that fragmented digital services are now being unified. He introduced a new platform for citizen services named by the Chief Adviser. “Soon, GPS and geofencing will enable digital land surveys, and landowners will be able to view their properties via Google Earth,” he said. “Eventually, a single gateway will show land ownership and real-time status with digital maps.”
