Informing journalists about the aims and objectives of the app, the BNCC Director General said the present era is ICT-dependent and today's generation is busy with Internet and mobile games. " They are averse to television so even if the biography of Bangabandhu is broadcast on TV channels, it does not reach the younger generation who are our future leaders.
"Thus, it is time to inculcate in our hearts all great sacrifice, devotion, and love for the Father of the Nation. To keep the indestructible consciousness and ideals of the Father of the Nation flowing forever from generation to generation, the app-based game Amar Bangabandhu has been designed to inform the present generation about the Father of the Nation on a digital platform," he added.
Journalists were also briefed on the app competition. Books, smartphones, tablet computers, and laptops will be provided as prizes to 30 winners in age-based groups (1st group under 10 years, 2nd group 10-18 years, and a 3rd group over 18 years).
The competition which started on 16 January will run until midnight on 26 March. A contestant can participate multiple times, which will be updated on the server after each entry.
Senior military and civilian officials of BNCC headquarters were present on the occasion.
