It is a matter of sorrow that disable people are not specific targeted in the MillenniumDevelopment Goals.But accordingto our perception, is our belief it thatexceptthe participationof the disablepeople,it is not possibleto developand alsoto achievethe goal properly.Technology is usedfor disablepeopleto achieve Millennium DevelopmentGoals.Technology considered a combinationof four is as basiccomponents-technoware, humanware,orgawareand inforware,all of rvhich togetheraccomplished and transformation operation.Accordineto J.K. Galbraith; "Technology is the systematic application of scientific and other or_tanized knorvledge towardssolvingpracticaitasks". Technowareincludesall physicaltacilitiesrequiredfor the transformation operation, suchas,instruments. equipment, machinery, devices, structures, factories. Somedays ago,peoplebelievedthat disablepersonsare separatefrom our society. Todaythis scenariois fully changed.Peoplechangedtheir believes,norms,ideas andperceptions aboutdisableperson.Thereare manydisablepeoplervhoare able to do any type of work like an able personin cieveloped country. To remove the distress conditionof the disablepeople,we haveto changeand bring them into the mainstreamof the developmentby somc technowaredevelopment.There is obviously a solution where the problem is in this today digital rvorld. Thc technoware equipments can bc -Walkcr, Wheelchair,Digital rvheelchair.Crutch ,E,lbowcrutch,Digitalpen ,Disabienrent softrvare, Disablemenr hardu,are, Digitlt wheel chair and other equipments,Digital sunglasses ,Laptop computer with sensors, They can usecomputerin their homesand also in office or rvorkplace. etc. Mere specialor new softwareonly for them shouldbe developed.The technologi, that is usedinternallyin the office shoulddevelopspeciallyfor them. The interior decorationlike door, window, and floor must be decoratedfor their proper rvork or task.They shouiduselift, escalator. AC, and otherequipmentlike normalperson. Becauseof using technologynow a day nobody is disable.There are so man)/ equipmentsfor the disable people. An ideal example can be Hawkins (famous scientists). is a total disableperson.He can't move his any part of the body He withouta finger.He doesn'tsay anythingto the otherpeople.But the positivething is his brain still working and for this plus point, Microsoft Corporationdevelops softwareand addedwith Hawkins wheel chair. Now whateverHawkins think that comes into the monitor and auto speechmachine can speak those things. Now Hawkinscandeliverhis lecturein the FlarvardUniversityand canas so attendmuch

Thereare someprocesses developthe humanwareor disablepeople:At first, we to haveto motivate theni for every r.vork.We have to increasetheir knori'ledgeabout everything. We have to feel, thesepeopleare human,the,vhave also mind, power, personality.These people should be trained about softrvare, hardrvare.rvorking processand technology.Thesepeoplemust have somejobs. from where they can earnmoney & live a standardlife in society.We have to feel them, they are not useless. They can also do that rvhata normal persondo.We should have to give a societyfor their own choice. If any one is blind, rve have to train thern for sittin -e work so thattheycan work withoutany problem. Inforware includes all accumulated facts and figures required for the transformation operation,such as designs,specifications,observations. relations, equations, charts,theories.The disablepeopleare generallyconsidered burdenin as our society. They are neglectedeverywhere.As a result, they loose all the potentialityand opportunityto developthem. In real r,r,orld, disablepeopleare the very much potentialfor the societythoughthey are not considered. So, if they have properassistancc guidancethey will certainlycontributeto the weilbeingof the arrd country.If the societycontinueto ignorethe huge numberof thesepotentialpeople, thedevelopment the countryis not possible.So, the peoplemustbe broughtto the of ntainstream developmentto attainthe country's nrillenniumdevelopmentgoals. of To do so, informationwill act as an importantand helpful factor.informationcan play a vital role in this purposeas the follorvingrvay-The dislble peopleshouldbe trainedto useand operatethe necesslrytool to frnd the infbrmation.The tools may bc internet,meciia,newsp;rper, articlesetc. The governmentand other or_ganization who work for the disablepeoplc,they can gct their requiredintornution alroutthese peopleby the inionnation technology.The rvorlciis norv consideredas digital rvorld as it is developedin inlbrmationtechnoiogy.It is a helping rool to develop the currentsituation.If the organization and the disablepeopleget properinformationit is certainto developthe country.If all get requiredinformetion,they get organized knowledgeto developand the work and othertaskswiil be easierto them.So. thei, productivitywill increase.

2007.In Bangladesh1.40croreor l0 perccntof the populationare challengedand amongthem70 lakh are women.In this case,we can add technologyfor preventing the causesof disability and the need fbr disseminatethe knowledge of nutrition as many people have become disabled due to malnutrition, reaching out to persons with disabilitiesin rural areasand raisingilwareness and advocacyfor the inclusion of personswith disabilitiesin all social,culturaland religiousactivities.There has been substantial progressundoubtedly,but it needsmore extension& expansion. Now, Bangladeshneedsto take more efforts to establishprotection and promotion of the rights and dignity of personswith disabilities.With regard to the Biwako framework,Bangladeshhas been able to initiate some interventions, but it would requirea lot of inputsand resources from nationaland internationalsourceswith effectiveand efficient policies, strategies,programsand action plans to changethe qualityof life of peoplewith disabilitiesin the country.Differentactorsand players including people with disabilities, their families and the communities need appropriatetechnology to be involved in all the areas from primary to tertiary sectorsin the country's effort to build a better nation to achieve MDGs through BMF.
