 Amader
Gram (Our Villages) is an ICT4D initiative of
Bangladesh Friendship
Education Society (BFES). The project is mostly centered and based on the village
society and it is conceived/planned to build up as a demonstrative
social innovation. This is obviously an innovative project
and as a social innovation first of its kind in the country. Such a
project, implementing among the beneficiary groups of “Amader Gram”
(our village), has got immense potential in many ways- by
collecting, collating, analyzing and using many socio-economic data
those do not have only the preservative value. Our Village society
is not static one; changes take place here everyday, though subtle.
So, an established on-going process of data collection reflects the
changing trends of the village society: changes of social lives,
customs, technology, behavioral pattern, economic variations,
occupational dimensions etc. By depicting the social mobility
situation, the data collection process contributes to the social
documentation.
Through this project there is a formal way of collecting, preserving
and even re-sourcing data on so many things both in respect of
project’s own activities and beyond, instead of letting thousands of
everyday data get lost. On the contrary, the Statistical Department
of Government does not have any regular mechanism to
collect/preserve data on our villages. Of course, in some of the
upazila (sub-district), Government has branches of the Statistical
department with only one officer (remain absent most of the time)
and does not have any ICT facilities. More...
