Daffodil has made a long-term commitment to achieve excellence in the ICT, education and

services. In respect, Daffodil Computers Ltd has worked hard over the last several years to become the country's number one ICT conglomerate and simultaneously prime education provider of the country. Daffodil will represent the image of the country and will carry the national flag all over the world. Daffodil will make revolution in the ICT sector and this is the commitment to the nation. Daffodil has been working to provide Total ICT Solution. Another great innovation of Daffodil Computers Ltd. is infobangla.net (Daffodil KIOSK and WAP System). With the mission to deliver great ICT services and results through our people- to achieve leadership in the ICT markets through the constant pursuit, in association with the clients and partners, of superior levels of service, efficiency and quality, Daffodil Computers Ltd is going to introduce the KIOSK idea in Bangladesh named infobangla.net.

The infobangla.net is an information system where people able to find all about product information, searching a jobs, looking a daily newspapers, self-ordering in restaurants, healthcare screening statistics, and much more across a variety of segments including retail, travel/tourism, communications, financial, government, transportation, entertainment, healthcare and other sectors. infobangla.net is an independent stand from which merchandise is sold, often placed in the common area of a shopping center.Through the infobangla.net facilitates user can inform immediately law-enforcing authority by just clicking a finger in case of danger. The kiosk is housed in a surround with information and light refreshment, Landline, Mobile for the people. The infobangla.net is that where people will get and store their data; communicate with others wherever they are. At the click of your finger, learn how to buy a home, apply for student loans, save for your retirement, and find out if you are eligible for a tax credit. You can print any page right away from the infobangla.net. In one sense, infobangla.net can compare with a Mobile Cyber Cafe.

In today’s busy world, kiosk machines and mall kiosks are growing increasingly popular. Kiosk concept is new in Bangladesh. Recently some of our corporate and financial sector started infobangla.net to provide customer services. But they are focusing only their own products and services. infobangla.net will be petty different from that. infobangla.net will include so many feature where people can able to find all about product information, searching a jobs, looking a daily newspapers, self-ordering in restaurants, healthcare screening statistics, and much more across a variety of segments including retail, business, travel/tourism, communications, financial, government, transportation, entertainment, Medicare and other sectors. It will be a portable and an independent stand from which merchandise is sold, often placed in the common area of a shopping mall, railway station, bus stand, bazaar, or any crowded areas. It can be placed in any suitable urban or remotest rural areas where net facility is available. We are designing our infobangla.net model in such way where a person can open his or her own retail store or business by using a kiosk and avoid paying large amounts of overhead or high rental fees. By infobangla.net a shopper can use his or her credit card or cash, which are often open twelve to


sixteen hours a day, seven days a week. This type of kiosk can be somewhat costly to set up in the beginning, but as the kiosk is used frequently, it eventually pays for itself. With the connection of SEAMEWE4 Bangladesh is now linked with information super high way. Linkage with information super high way is not the end. We can’t harvest the optimum yield if we are unable to involve mass community with this. As a developing third world country the people of Bangladesh have very limited access to data & information. There is no such a place in where peoples can get their necessary data & information easily or less payment or without any payment. They suffer a lot and sometime have to waste their valuable time and money for getting single information. On the other hand people of the remotest part of our country don’t have any kind of access to data & information or they even have any idea about hi-tech development. Considering the reality in mind, Daffodil Computers Limited has decided to establish infobangla.net center in all districts, towns and even in the remotest parts of the country where people can get access their necessary data & information with a less payment or without any payment. In a infobangla.net kiosk center people can get information to make their life easy and batter. infobangla.net facilitates the people to inform immediately law enforcing authority by just clicking a finger in case of danger. People from all professions can be benefited by infobangla.net kiosk center.

Beneficiary of KIOSK: KIOSK designed in such way where people from all profession can benefit by KIOSK as entrepreneur and user.
