As part of its efforts to create information technology parks in different districts of Kerala, the state government is gearing up to launch an IT park in Kollam.
State education minister MA Baby on Tuesday handed over the land documents for setting up the park to Ajaykumar, secretary, IT. This is the first district level IT park that is being launched by the Kerala government as part of the new IT policy.
Chief minister VS Achuthanandan will officially launch the development activities of Kollam Technopark on February 10. The park, which will boast of a 40-acre campus, will see an investment of over Rs 800 crore.
Speaking at a function after receiving the land documents, Ajaykumar said, “The Thiruvananthapuram Technopark is our inspiration to set up similar parks in every district. Kollam in its own right is a developed district with the growing cashew industry, excellent educational institutions and with the setting up of a Technopark at Kollam, we hope to see Kollam flourish and develop as a IT hub providing better employment and a quality life.”
Hope atleast this initiative does not be in a stand still as what happened with Smart City in Kochi.
