Lucknow: Working towards transforming Uttar Pradesh into the IT hub of the country, the Yogi government has decided to build IT parks in all the divisions of the state. This will not only increase investment in the state but will also generate new employment opportunities for the youth.
The state government is constantly making efforts to make Uttar Pradesh’s economy Number 1 in the country in the next five years. With this, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath also aims to provide employment to at least one person from each family.
In this sequence, the government is going to set up an IT park with the best infrastructure in each division. The construction work of IT parks in Agra, Gorakhpur, Varanasi, and Bareilly is in progress. While the development work of IT Parks has started in Meerut, Prayagraj, and Kanpur. In the next two years, preparations are being made to start IT Parks in all the divisions of the state.
Along with this, there will also be a technology-rich space for companies. All types of facilities related to the need of IT companies will be available in the IT Parks.
This is likely to increase investment in the state. Under the IT and Startup Policy-2017, an investment of Rs 5642.30 crore has been made so far. From the year 2017 to 2022, 43,780 employment opportunities have been made available and in the future, these IT parks will provide more employment opportunities for the youth.
