Agartala: The Tripura government, supported by the
Software Technology Park of India (STPI), is setting up a Software
Technology Park (STP) to boost information technology in northeast
India and to reach out to people of rural and remote areas with
e-governance, an official said here Monday. This will be the fifth
such in the region.
"The proposed STP, being set up at a cost of Rs.43 crore, would
further boost the information technology industries in the
industry-starved northeastern region," Tripura Industrial
Development Corporation (TIDC) chairman Pabitra Kar told IANS.
The TIDC is the nodal body of the STP while Hyderabad-based Avon
Technologies India Private limited is the consultant and
Mumbai-based D.K. Infrastructure Private Limited is executing the
project.
He said: "The STPI has prepared the detailed project report and
would provide the entire fund of Rs.43 crore for the STP."
Tripura Chief Minister Manik Sarkar Monday formally initiated the
works for commissioning of the STP, to be built within 18 months
from now.
The STP in Agartala would be the fifth information technology
centre in northeast India after the Guwahati, Imphal, Gangtok and
Aizawl STPs, which have either started functioning or are under
construction.
Kar said that the STP would provide all sorts of facilities for
the growth of information technology industries in the
northeastern region for the purpose of socio-economic development.
"The STP would help the authorities to reach out to citizens with
more efficient and productive government services," Kar said
adding that it would serve as an important tool to create maximum
job opportunities as well as absorbing a large portion of the
educated unemployed.
STPs are being set up in India by the STPI authority since 1991 to
encourage, promote and boost software exports from India besides
expansion of the information technology infrastructure and
software industry.
