The main purpose of the project is to disseminate information technology knowledge among the rural female students to help them to be self-dependent in the future.
Last week, the three-year long successful project expired. Recently Huawei has handed over those two digital mobile training buses to the ICT division as project expired.
For this reason, a program was arranged at the ICT Division office at Agargaon in the capital city on January 01 (Wednesday), 2020.
In this program, Zhang Qidi, director of the Public Affairs and Communications Department of Huawei Technologies (Bangladesh) Limited, handed over the buses to Akhtar Mamun, the project director of 'Learning and Earning project' under ICT Division.
