The state government is mulling to set up an IT park for small and medium scale software companies on the Lucknow-Kanpur Road under the Lucknow Industrial Development Authority (LIDA).
On Saturday, principal secretary, information technology, Chandra Prakash met a delegation of Indian Industries Association (IIA) and asked it to submit background papers for the same. The principal secretary also asked the association to come up with details for setting up an IT application software/solutions for micro & small sector.
Executive director, IIA, DS Verma said that they would be doing their bit soon. Besides, the delegation also discussed the use of IT for disseminating updated, relevant and accurate information to the investors in UP. ‘‘The two-fold objective was to find ways and means to facilitate the much-desired investment in the industries of the state by sustaining the existing investment as well as attracting the potential investors from India and abroad in a big way,’’ Verma said.
The association also discussed the matters related to maintenance of web sites of industry related departments of the state government. Verma said that the web enabled single table system developed by IIA should be made operational again and implemented in right earnest.
The issue of e-tendering system was taken up at the meeting even as IIA sought introduction of the system by all departments. The IIA has also offered to develop and maintain a dedicated web facility for circulars, orders and notifications related to industry without any charge, provided they are made available to IIA in soft copy, as soon as they are released. The principal secretary is reported to have expressed his desire to continue the dialogue with IIA during the first week of June.
