All institutions of Moheshkhali are being provided with high-speed broadband connection through the project. The project aims to improve access to information technology for the people of the island.
The broadband connectivity has already enabled the island's people to get access to e-services in agriculture, education and health as well as other services of the government.
Under this project, 25 educational and local government institutions are connected to high-speed internet.
Moheshkhali island is famous for fisheries, betel leaf and salt, but the local farmers hardly can market the products due to lack of communication channels.
