"The modern technology would save both of our time and money," he said this as the chief guest, while inaugurating "Digital innovation and Branding Fail-2017" at Shishu Academy here.

The state minister said, "We have to take initiative for attracting young generations in innovative works and we have special grants to expand IT start-up initiatives IDEA (Innovation Design & Entrepreneurship Academy)."

He said the government has undertaken programmes to increase connectivity with each other by supplying electricity to house to house for building a developed Bangladesh, which would be implemented within the schedule time.

Welcoming the initiative for "Solve -A-Thon" competition to search young innovators, Nasrul said the new generation is very talented and a little care could turn them as golden children.
