The Liberation War Museum has been established to preserve the history of our great liberation war and uphold its spirit. 1971: Genocide-Torture Archive and Museum aims to preserve the history of torture during the Liberation War. Many people visit these museums to learn about the history of the liberation war. However, it is not always possible for people from other parts of the country to visit the museum. To solve this problem, Grameenphone, the country's tech service leader, has created an interface in the MyGP app, through which one can digitally enter the museum from anywhere in the country and learn about the history of the great liberation war through virtual reality.

During the discussion, Asaduzzaman Noor MP said, "The Great War of Liberation is not only a matter of glory for us, but its spirit inspires our young generation. There are many stories to tell about the War of Liberation; For example, the martyred intellectual Dr. Md. Mohammad Fazle Rabi, who risked his life to help the valiant freedom fighters; Or it can be said about Shirin Banu Mitil, who participated in the great liberation war disguised as a man. The museum has been established through the spontaneous help of the public and donations from everyone from school and college students to businessmen. Besides, Hon'ble Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has generously extended her hand of assistance in the construction of the museum. I would like to thank Grameenphone for taking the initiative to spread this opportunity of virtual tour to the Liberation War Museum for the people of the country. It is a wonderful initiative.”

Grameenphone CEO Yasir Azman said, “Grameenphone believes in empowering people and society through technology. We all know knowledge is power. Digitization should be used as a useful means of preserving our past by capturing history, especially using digital technology is very important to convey the correct history to future generations. So we wanted to do something that would empower people. By getting the knowledge about the true history of the great liberation war, the youth will be empowered and they will be able to express their solidarity with the spirit of the war. We believe it is most important to move forward inspired and inspired by the sacrifices of our brave freedom fighters."

The history of the Great Liberation War is now in everyone's hands. Grameenphone is working tirelessly to ensure seamless 4G connectivity across the country and deliver digital services to everyone. As a part of that, the history of the liberation war will reach everyone. People can know the history of the great liberation war and the sacrifice of brave warriors through virtual experience in MyGP app. Now is the time to contribute to the development of the country by taking inspiration from history and doing the best from our respective places.
