E-commerce makes life easy in Digital Bangladesh

E-commerce makes easy the life of Amena Begum, a private service holder living in city’s Jhawtola area.

She is one of the thousands in Bangladesh who see e-commerce as a blessing for them.

Amena feels tired after returning home from her office amid huge traffic jam every day. She even doesn’t want to go outside during her weekly day-off and tries to give time to her family, specially her kids.

So, she has no extra time for shopping. She opts for different e-commerce sites for shopping different commodities, including daily essentials.

This has been possible thanks to ‘digital Bangladesh’ envisioned and implemented by the present Awami League (AL) government under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina.

Amena said more time is needed to buy anything from a market. “But I’m buying my required items staying home.

And we don’t need to go anywhere,” she added.

A couple - Ayesha Akther and Monir Talukder - said people have learnt many things during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Now they are buying daily essentials, including rice, salt, pulses and oil, from e-commerce sites. People can buy electronic items, clothes and other items from those sites, they said, adding that it was really difficult for service holders to purchase those items going to markets.
