We introduce two new software tools, Bongojontro and Bongojontro Baksobandi, aimed at reducing the barriers to programming for native speakers of Bengali, the fifth most spoken language in the world. The highlights of these software include programming in the native language of Bengali, simpler construction of programs which is friendly for beginners, and the possibility of creating and using modules which can be used to incorporate a level of abstraction that can be helpful for users of different technical skills and roles. We introduced the software to students of two semirural schools in Purba Bardhamman, West Bengal, India. The participants were a section of class XI students of age group 16–17 from both the schools. 40 students provided the full data in the succeeding survey, with 2 providing incomplete data. Among those who participated in the survey, it was found that the reception was overwhelmingly positive, with mean score greater than 6(out of 7) in 12 out of 15 survey questions. The scores were especially high on the usage of their native language on the software and its easy workflow. However, the mean "ease of learning" score was a bit low (4.45/7) compared to the other high ratings. The prototypic vector-biology module, which was a part of Bongojontro Baksobandi, also received very favorable reviews. Further work along these lines using the software and its modules seems to be a promising avenue for useful research and inclusive development in education and information technologies.

我们推出了两个新的软件工具 Bongojontro 和 Bongojontro Baksobandi，旨在减少以孟加拉语为母语的人的编程障碍，孟加拉语是世界第五大语言。这些软件的亮点包括以孟加拉语的母语进行编程、对初学者友好的更简单的程序构建以及创建和使用模块的可能性，这些模块可用于合并对不同用户有帮助的抽象级别技术技能和角色。我们向印度西孟加拉邦 Purba Bardhamman 的两所半农村学校的学生介绍了该软件。参与者是来自两所学校的 16-17 岁的 XI 班学生。40 名学生在随后的调查中提供了完整的数据，其中 2 名提供了不完整的数据。在参与调查的人中，接受度非常积极，在 15 个调查问题中有 12 个平均得分大于 6（满分 7 分）。在软件上使用他们的母语及其简单的工作流程方面得分特别高。然而，与其他高评级相比，平均“学习难易度”得分略低（4.45/7）。作为 Bongojontro Baksobandi 一部分的原型载体生物学模块也获得了非常好的评价。使用该软件及其模块在这些方面的进一步工作似乎是教育和信息技术有用研究和包容性发展的有希望的途径。在软件上使用他们的母语及其简单的工作流程方面得分特别高。然而，与其他高评级相比，平均“学习难易度”得分略低（4.45/7）。作为 Bongojontro Baksobandi 一部分的原型载体生物学模块也获得了非常好的评价。使用该软件及其模块在这些方面的进一步工作似乎是教育和信息技术有用研究和包容性发展的有希望的途径。在软件上使用他们的母语及其简单的工作流程方面得分特别高。然而，与其他高评级相比，平均“学习难易度”得分略低（4.45/7）。作为 Bongojontro Baksobandi 一部分的原型载体生物学模块也获得了非常好的评价。使用该软件及其模块在这些方面的进一步工作似乎是教育和信息技术有用研究和包容性发展的有希望的途径。
