Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina inaugurated a2i’s newly developed online-based platforms at the Amar Ekushey Book Fair on February 1, 2018, a2i officials told the news agency yesterday.

The ‘Konnect’ is a digital platform for teenagers where they can share, upload and learn from creative multimedia contents like books, movies and comic books and important life lessons from the website www.konnect .edu.bd that can help develop their talent, social and personal skills, personality and commitment to the welfare of the nation.

The ‘Konnect’ has been jointly developed by a2i Programme, Ministry of Education, Bangladesh Shishu Academy, Sylhet Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, World Literature Center and the Children’s Film Society.

According to the a2i officials, the ‘Accessible Dictionary’ is Bangladesh’s first Bangla-to-Bangla, Bangla-to-English, English-to-Bangla and English-to-English dictionary developed exclusively for the visually-impaired people. It is available in both web and mobile app formats on the website www.accessibledictionary.gov.bd.
