Needless to say, the government made some noteworthy commitments in the last GDS and ratified UNCRPD as a part of its vision to build a welfare state considering the PWDs as a community with priority. The government has taken initiatives such as Digital Bangladesh and Smart Bangladesh which if implemented well has the potential to garner significant output and enormously contribute to the development of economy.
