Bangalore: Four
electronic hardware parks and promotion of smaller cities as
tech-hubs are proposed in Karnataka's new information technology
and electronics hardware policy, state minister V.S. Acharya said
Tuesday.
The new policy will promote IT and related industries in smaller
cities, the medical education minister said.
The electronic hardware parks will come up in the regions of
Bangalore-Tumkur and Mysore-Nanjangud in the south, Shimoga-Hassan
in central part, and Hubli-Dharwad in the north, Acharya, who is
also the cabinet spokesman, told reporters.
He added that the government will provide Rs.25 crore for the
project in the 2011-12 state budget to be presented in February.
About 1,000 acres of land has been identified for setting up each
of the parks, Acharya said.
Karnataka has exported software worth Rs.75,000 crore so far in
current financial year that ends March 31.
Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa said in October that he hoped the
export to touch Rs.90,000 crore by March.
