services of information technology are being widely utilised by major private sector of
the district which are already mentioned in other pages. Moreover, the other firms which can be put into the
catagory of fully private are
also using the IT resources which are detailed below.
The computer facilities are being used by some printing presses for offset and screen
printing (composing and designing). A local daily is also using its DTP facility for its
daily publications. Some medical stores of the district are using Personal Computers to
maintain the inventory of their stocks. The softwares are developed by the local software
vendors on the demand and requirement basis. In banking and financial sector, some of the
bank branches are partially computerised. The necessary software are provided either by
the bank administration (their HQs) or developed by local professionals. A stock broker
shop is also equipped with RO -VSAT (Receive Only VSAT) and providing online stock
information directly from Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Also, the computer softwares
developed locally are used to ease the routine works of other activities of the Stock Broker. A large number
of shops scattered all over the city and elsewhere, are providing DTP facilities
(composing, designing and printing) of bio-data, letters, pamphlets, visiting cards,
mannuals, booklets and thesis or project works) for the needy people. As far as internet

of internet is e-mails exchange, inquiry of results published on web sites, downloading of
