प्रदेश सरकार ने आईटी पार्क योजना की अड़चनें दूर कर दी हैं। भारत सरकार की संस्था साफ्टवेयर टेक्नालॉजी पार्क्स आफ इंडिया� (एसटीपीआई) पार्क का निर्माण करेगी। आगरा विकास प्राधिकरण ने शास्त्रीपुरम में पार्क के लिए दो एकड़ जमीन की व्यवस्था भी कर दी है।
�
आगरा में आईटी पार्क बनाने का पहला प्रस्ताव 2004 में आया था। एसटीपीआई राज्य सरकारों से मुफ्त जमीन लेती है। आगरा विकास प्राधिकरण इसके लिए दी जाने वाली जमीन का पैसा चाहता था। इस कारण काफी दिन तक� मामला उलझा रहा। बाद में प्रदेश सरकार ने किस्तों में जमीन की रकम देने का काम शुरू किया। इस बार बकाया बजट से देने का मौका आया तो प्राधिकरण मौजूदा कीमत मांगने लगा। सरकार की सलाह पर प्राधिकरण बोर्ड ने एसटीपीआई को पुरानी दरों पर जमीन देने पर सहमति दे दी। अब सरकार ने पुरानी दर पर पूरा पैसा देकर पार्क की स्थापना का रास्ता साफ कर दिया। प्रदेश सरकार ने एसटीपीआई को पार्क के लिए मुफ्त जमीन उपलब्ध होने की जानकारी भेज दी है। एसटीपीआई के डायरेक्टर नार्थ इंडिया रजनीश अग्रवाल ने बताया कि� आगरा आईटी पार्क के बारे में राज्य सरकार की सूचना मिली है।


एडीए को मिल गई जमीन की कीमत
आगरा। आईटी पार्क के लिए आगरा विकास प्राधिकरण ने शास्त्रीपुरम में दो एकड़ जमीन ऑफर की है। प्राधिकरण के अधिकारियों का कहना था कि जमीन का प्रस्ताव तो वर्षों पहले कर दिया था। अब प्राधिकरण ने पुरानी दरों पर जमीन देने की सहमति दी है। इस आधार पर रजिस्ट्री में लगने वाले स्टांप का खर्च जोड़कर करीब 7.22 करोड़ जमीन दे दी जाएगी। इस जमीन के लिए लगभग 6.55 करोड़ रुपये विकास प्राधिकरण के संपत्ति विभाग को मिल भी चुके हैं। शेष रकम रजिस्ट्री के बाद मिल जाएगी।

ऐसा होगा आईटी पार्क
आगरा। एसटीपीआई 20 हजार स्क्वायर फीट में एक आधुनिक आईटी भवन का निर्माण कराती है। एक आईटी पार्क के विकास पर तकरीबन 20 करोड़ रुपये खर्च करती है। इसमें डेटा कम्युनिकेशन की सुविधाएं उपलब्ध कराई जाती हैं। एक आईटी पार्क में आईटी से जुड़े तकरीबन 150 से 200 उद्यमी अपने कारोबार शुरू कर सकते हैं। आईटी क्षेत्र में नए उद्यमियों को अवसर मिलेंगे। निर्यात भी बढ़ेगा। लाखों लोगों को रोजगार मिलेगा।

एडीए पांच एकड़ बना रहा था पार्क
आगरा। शास्त्रीपुरम में आईटी पार्क बनाने की पहल आगरा विकास प्राधिकरण ने भी की थी। एडीए ने तकरीबन पांच एकड़ में सात मंजिला भवन का खाका तैयार कर लिया था। इसके लिए बजट बोर्ड से बजट भी स्वीकृत हो चुका था, लेकिन किसी भी आईटी कंपनी ने इस प्रोजेक्ट में दिलचस्पी नहीं दिखाई। प्राधिकरण ने भी कदम खींच लिए। एसटीपीआई महज दो एकड़ में पार्क का निर्माण करेगा। इसके पीछे अहम कारण है कि एसटीपीआई भारत सरकार का उपक्रम है। संस्था का कंपनियों से सीधा संपर्क होता है, ऐसे में आईटी कंपनियों को लाना आसान हो जाएगा।


एसटीपीआई को जमीन उपलब्ध कराने के लिए शासन से पैसा मिल चुका है। संपत्ति विभाग को निर्देश दिया गया है। एसटीपीआई को जल्द से जल्द जमीन पर कब्जा दिया जाए।

Will Vuda-STPI IT tower project finally take off this year?


VISAKHAPATNAM: At a time when the AP government is aiming to attract investments in the IT sector, the proposal to construct an IT tower for promoting domain-specific innovation at Siripuram by the Visakhapatnam Urban Development Authority (Vuda) and Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) is yet to see the light of day. 

Though nine years have passed since the concept of constructing an IT Tower for domain-specific sectors such as marine, power and petroleum was first mooted, officials of Vuda and STPI said the "nitty-gritty" of the project is still being worked out. However, the timeframe for starting the project is yet to be finalised. 

According to sources, the Vuda-STPI joint venture for the project is expected to involve construction of a 12-storeyed structure with a built-up area of around 1.5 lakh sft. Initial project cost estimations indicate that the project needs around Rs 25-26 crore for the building, which is slated to come up in the heart of the city. 

 Speaking to TOI, Vuda secretary GC Kishore Kumar said, "We have written to STPI about the project. They wanted to know the market value of the land, which we have intimated to them. They wanted to again put this up for discussion before their board. Once they come forward, we can go ahead with the project." 

"Now, STPI has to come up with a concrete proposal on the cost of the project and the investment required and how it has to be raised. The nitty-gritty is still being worked out," he added. 

However, STPI joint director MP Dubey said, "We will be going ahead with the project. Already Rs 16 crore has been allocated for the project. It is likely to be the first of its kind in the country focussing on IT for marine, power and petroleum sectors. There is a lot of interest among companies to come to Vizag. We hope to start work on this project by the end of this year." 

"We will also finalise the building design and other details jointly with Vuda. Once the building is completed, it can provide employment to nearly 5,000 people in the city and can easily account for Rs 500 crore per annum exports." 

Commenting on the delays in the key project, the CEO of a city-based IT firm said, "The project has been delayed for long. Both Vuda and STPI need to get their act together and push the project forward if we want to have adequate space for bringing IT companies into the city. The state government need to push this project immediately because the funds are already available. Space in the city is scarce and developing this IT tower will give a major boost to firms planning to set up base in Vizag."

 STPI (Software Technology Parks of India) in UP


What is STPI - STPI is an organization set up 1991 to facilitate services primarliy under STP Scheme run by the Government of India with numerous benefits to IT industries e.g. Sales Tax, Custom & Excise Duty, Faster clearance of Import through Green Card , Export regularization/certification under FEMA(RBI) etc.



Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) has signed initial agreements for I-T parks in Agra and Meerut and sources said the STPI team also visited Kanpur and Gorakhpur for inspection of land.



Akhilesh’s ambitious I-T city project misses 240-day deadline to begin work
For these proposed I-T parks, the government would give land on lease basis for 30 years to STPI

Even as the Akhilesh Yadav government completes its three years in power on March 15, work on one of its most ambitious projects, Information Technology city to be constructed over 100 acre in Lucknow, is yet to kick off. It has been over nine months since the agreement was signed with investment company of HCL and over five months since Akhilesh laid the foundation stone at the Chak Ganjaria farm.

As per the agreement, the developer was to start the construction work within 240 days of signing the concession agreement with the government and sources in the government inform that even that deadline finished early this month.

“The representatives of the company have been called to Lucknow on March 16 to know about the progress as the Cabinet had already approved the detailed project report and the work should have started by now,” said a senior officer.

The Rs 1,500-crore IT city project, with the concept of “walk to work”, is to be developed on Lucknow-Sultanpur Road. Though the project is divided into two phases of five years each, the developer had promised to complete one part of the first phase and try to make it operational in three years. HCL enterprises was the sole bidder for the project with which the government signed an agreement instead if going for re-tender. The developer is to undertake construction of basic infrastructure such as internal roads, sewage, drainage, water and electricity supply, laying of optical fibre for setting up of I-T units as well as establishing skill development centre. “The work shall start soon. 

We are in touch with representatives of the company,” said Jivesh Nandan, Principal Secretary, state I-T department. Meanwhile, Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) has signed initial agreements for I-T parks in Agra and Meerut and sources said the STPI team also visited Kanpur and Gorakhpur for inspection of land. For these proposed I-T parks, the government would give land on lease basis for 30 years to STPI.
