knowledge can be free
Knowledge Initiative is a free digial platform for fostering and promoting knowledge, ideas and solutions on digital government, society, culture, revenue, economics, and taxation.
We encourage minds from all sectors to join the platforms as contributors, editors, reviewers and in other roles. This platform will be free resource hub for students, researchers and writers to publish and access scholarly materials on Bangladesh issues. There will also be a virtual publishing wing, where all books and materials will be copyright-free and cost-free so that knowledge can break price-barrier and accessibility-barrier.
