Technopark officials here are finalising the master plan for the first district level IT park in Kerala, to come up at Kundara near Kollam.
M. Vasudevan, a senior Technopark official, said the IT Park would be developed under the public-private partnership (PPP) policy of the State Government. The formal inauguration will take place next month, when the Chief Minister, V.S. Achuthanandan, would lay the foundation stone.
"Forty acres of land is in our possession and the project will see IT infrastructure being developed by Technopark and real estate developers,'' Vasudevan said.
"This would be a joint development project and in all there would be 1.5 million square feet of built-up area," Vasudevan added.
In May last year, the State Government announced that IT level parks would be developed under private-public partnership model in the 14 districts of the State. In the first phase, IT parks would come up in Kollam, Alappuzha, Thrissur, Kannur and Kasaragod districts.
Currently, IT companies operating in the State are based either at the Technopark campus here or in the Infopark campus in Kochi.
According to the Government, the district-level IT parks would help the IT industry expand operations across the State.
