Reducing the migration from village to city

The lack of job opportunities in villages creates mass migration from villages to cities. However, there are not enough jobs in cities to provide employment to the migrant villagers. As a result most migrant to cities end up living in slums, displaced from their homes and unable to find jobs. Access to the Internet will open many possibilities for employment. From data entry to web marketing. Village artisans will have access to global markets.

International and local correspondence

There is a large and growing Bangladeshi expatriate population in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe and North America. It is difficult for village residents to contact by telephone and regular mail with their family members, relatives and friends who work and staying in abroad and different part of Bangladesh, because of the high costs and long time delays associated with international and local correspondence. Therefore, village residents will use email facilities to contact with friends and relatives at instant and very low cost.

Reducing the impact of middleman

Village residents (both producers and consumers) can check current market prices by connecting to the GDC web site. This would help the farmer to have better bargaining capacity in selling their produces. It will reduce the middlemen involvement in the market.

Human resources development

The project will familiarize village children with computers. For instance, there could be gaming hours when children could play computer games, perhaps for a small fee.
