Education Minister Dr Dipu Moni has said 1.10 lakh rural institutions will be brought under broadband connections through optical fiber cables within the next one year.

Of those, 70,000 educational institutions will be given internet connections. At present, 12 crore people in the country remain under broadband internet connections.

Dipu Moni made the observations while virtually addressing the opening ceremony of a two-day '4th International Conference on Electrical, Computer and Telecommunication and Engineering- 2022' here today as the chief guest.
Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Faculty at Rajshahi University of Engineering and Technology (RUET) organized the conference at its auditorium.
