What we deliver
Through this product we want to say, that one should love his/her mother language and practice/use it in every sectors of life. That’s why this product is a symbol of our patriotism & concept of implementing technology and practice in our mother language resembles a true patriotic nation. Our target group is all Bengali speaking people and specifically all rural area people. We have seen that still all the mathematical calculations performed on most of the parts of our country in Bengali. They write it in Bengali in papers but they use English calculators. Suppose one has to calculate 3(TIN)+4(CHAR). He is writing Bengali numerals in the paper and is thinking Bengali 3(TIN) and 4(CHAR) in their mind, but pressing English 3 & English 4 numerals in calculator for mathematical calculation. This means the he is not pressing what his brain is thinking. This sometimes create major problem for rural people. On the other hand, the similarity, of Bangla CHAR(8) and English EIGHT(8) creates a huge problem for some people. They always mix these two numerals while calculating and make error. To keep this thing in mind the concept of Bangla Calculator came to our mind. This Bangla Calculator will ease the mathematical operation of all rural and Bengali speaking people.

Roadmap
The vision of digital content for development will only be achieved if we can bring technology to every door steps. Even if you bring technology or ICT tools to people, it still won’t have impact on development; because we have to trained people besides bringing ICT tools. As long as the people are not friendly of using the tools, the vision of digital content towards developing will not succeed. So, to make a digital Bangladesh, we have to bring ICT tools to people, then we need to discuss the advantages of using the tools to people, convince them and then a training session for the people to understand the use of these tools.
