Slowly the computer replaced manual machines in the office, banks, and other institutions. Schools and colleges started recruiting computer teachers. Many more young people started computer businesses. Manual (letter) printing presses switched to offset printing using the computer. The first local daily newspaper published here was "Dainik Dristipat". First Computer Sales & Service Centre was "Mitul Computer Services" First Computer Training Centre was "Cosmos Computer" First Offset Printing Press was the "Zahan Offset Printing Press" In 1999 the Computer Association of Satkhira was established with 30 members. The first president was Mitul Md. Moniruzzaman and General Secretary was Nityananda Sarkar with Vice President Faruque ul-Islam and Sayed Iqbal Babu. Computer Association of Satkhira regularly organizes computer fairs in various locations for ICT awareness. Some of the computer fairs were supported by [[Bangladesh Computer Samity]] with the presence of [[Mustafa Jabbar]], the current ICT minister. ==Notable people== * [[A. F. M.
