Shimoga (Karnataka), December 22, 2008

Development of a land bank of 1,000 acres with infrastructure facilities for setting up of industries is being mooted in the district. The Department of Industries is looking out for the land for the purpose in response to the enquiries from potential investors who have expressed a desire to set up their industrial units in the district.
Meanwhile it is proposed to allot two acres of land for the establishment of the Software Technology Park in the Special Economic Zone (SEZ) being developed adjacent to the Machenahalli Industrial Estate on the Shimoga-Bhadravati Road on a forty-one acre land.
Earlier, it was proposed to set up the Software Technology Park behind the Jawaharlal Nehru National College of Engineering on the Sowlanga Road here and a five-acre land was also identified for it.
The incubation centre which was planned to be set up at the Software Technology Park started functioning temporarily for some time in the engineering college itself but could not sustain for long for want of patronage from the potential users.
Subsequently, the venue of the proposed Software Technology Park was planned to be shifted to the SEZ as it was found more to be more suitable.
It may be recalled that the Director of the Software Technology Park of India Rajalakshmi who was here recently held discussions with the local entrepreneurs and officers of the departments concerned to seek the allotment of at least five acres of land at the SEZ for the establishment of the Software Technology Park
