Satkhira had a 47% Hindu population in 1941 dominated by Scheduled Castes, with several thanas in the present district having a Hindu majority. During the massive riots in the 1950s and 1960s most of the Hindus there fled to neighboring India. The population of Hindus and Christians has remained constant since 1981, but their percentages have fallen massively. Christians live mainly in Kalaroa and Tala upazilas.

Digital Satkhira

In 1994, a few young people started a computer training center as a business and prepared some talents who later started other computer businesses and ultimately created the idea of digital Satkhira. 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.

In 1999 the Computer Association of Satkhira was established with 30 members. Computer Association of Satkhira regularly organizes computer fairs in various locations and offers basic and advanced Computer Trainings to increase ICT awareness and to introduce freelancing. Some of the computer fairs were supported by Bangladesh Computer Samity with the presence of Mustafa Jabbar, the current ICT minister.
