Nashik, Dec 1
An Information Technology (IT) park in the city will be constructed on 100 acres of land at Rajur Bahula by the state government. It has been approved by the sub-committee of the Ministry of Industries and in the first phase, the park will be constructed on 50 acres of land.
Although Nashik is part of the golden triangle, Mumbai-Pune-Nashik, efforts were being made for the IT Park in the city as IT was elusive in Nashik. Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) had tried for an IT Park at Adgaon, but it did not work. After that, MP Hemant Godse wrote to Industries Minister Uday Samant to construct an IT Park on a 100-acre land in a planned industrial colony in Rajur Bahula. On the other hand, Industries Minister Samant had given instructions to the administration to construct an IT park at Akrale in Dinderi taluka.
Meanwhile, in a meeting chaired by Industries Minister Uday Samant at Sahyadri Guest House last month, the proposal to reserve 100 acres of land in two phases at Rajur Bahula in Nashik taluka was approved. The minutes were recently released by the state Industries Ministry. Accordingly, the decision to reserve 50 acres of land for IT Park in the first phase has been sealed.
