Not stop to the Theme of the year

We celebrated the 21^st century with festive manner.  Sometimes we have tried to jump over to 22^nd century over 21^st century.   In some cases I feel that when many countries are moving to 22^nd century, as Srilankans we are moving to again 21^st century.  But still we are in 21^st century.  So here I would like to take start for this article reminding that.

This government has already declared that year 2009 is the year of national IT and English. 21^st century was being started introducing e-government for Srilankan. e-government which is combining with ICT concept has been a very famous. e-government process means G to c , G to b , G to e and G to g and here this process gives opportunity to fulfill needs and wants immediately of each civilian. Countries of this world already doing government services through ICT.  As example in Singapore they provide 1300 services through 1600 services to public. As srilankans we should highly study that kind of  tasks and it is time to think of that.

e-government concept has been a discussing matter in present Srilanka.  And it must be admired that present government has already done gigantic services to this ICT field. There are special institutions dedicated for ICT and they have touched the grassroots level already.

New Rising of information communication technology has become new trend of our society.  In the future we can’t imagine world without ICT.  We need ICT in various ways.  As example to develop the persons knowledge, to update the knowledge and etc.  Because in the future knowledge will be the capital.  To achieve that we need proper plan.  And that plan must prepare by us.  We can do that task.  Because in birth we have brought that talent/skill.  Especially as Srilankans we have that skill because when we reminding our ruins such as “yoda aela”,”Sigiriya”etc made by our forefathers they are unbelievable but who have done them?

What we should do is thoughtful change. I think that must be done by alone with ICT.  To do that task we will have to give up some superstitions.  It is time to take out your talents and skills. Stop the running here and there.  You need the CHANGE. To see the world in new perspective join ICT AND ENGLISH LANGUAGE.  Because ICT and English Language are essential things of that.  It is difficult to go this journey forgetting both of that.  There is a very close link between ICT and ENGLISH.  That is the theme of this year.  Don’t kick to that.

Presidential secretariat and Information communication technology agency of Srilanka with NENASALA will teach accurate path to develop the sustainable future, sustainable society and sustainable country.  Therefore we will have to live forever in that theme.

So finally let’s think about that and try to achieve that forever with responsibility.  I think that it is our duty.
