We Are Far Behind the World in Technology: KCC Administrator Monju at Khulna Digital Computer Fair Opening
Prime Minister Tarique Rahman has begun working to build a self-reliant Bangladesh through excellence in information technology, Khulna City Corporation (KCC) Administrator Nazrul Islam Monju has said. He made the remarks in his speech as chief guest at the opening ceremony of the Khulna Digital Computer Fair-2026, held at the Jalil Tower premises in Khulna city on Saturday (14 November) at noon. The fair has been organised by the Khulna Computer Traders Association.
The administrator said, “In technology, we are far behind compared with the world. If we cannot progress quickly, we will not be able to keep pace with the world. From that perspective, organising this technology fair is extremely important for us. This fair will help familiarise us with new technologies and give strength to our future planning.”
Stressing the need to build a divisional trade centre in Khulna, Nazrul Islam Monju said trade in the region would expand through that trade centre, and that everyone must together build a safe Khulna by removing all darkness.
At the ceremony, the administrator inaugurated the fair by releasing balloons and festoons. He then visited the stalls set up at the fair and familiarised himself with the new technologies on display.
Presided over by Khulna Computer Traders Association President Md. Ziaur Rahman Zia, the opening ceremony was attended as special guests by Additional Deputy Commissioner (Education and ICT) Kaniz Fatema Liza, Bangladesh Computer Samity President Md. Zahirul Islam, Secretary General Muhammad Monirul Islam, Global Brand PLC DMD Mohammad Jasim Uddin Khondkar, Computer Solution Inc founder and CEO Mohammad Abul Hasan, and Khulna Computer Traders Association founding president Nurul Islam.
