Ending uncertainty over the fate of Hubli IT Park, the state on Friday handed it over to Keonics for maintenance. State IT, BT secretary M K Shankarlinge Gowda made it clear that the IT Park had not been transferred to Keonics but the latter will maintain it on behalf of the state government.

Gowda said, Hubli and Dharwad had a very good scope for development as IT centres as there were reputed educational institutions producing excellent human resource. He said that the government was committed to providing necessary infrastructure to make the region investor-friendly. He handed over a cheque for Rs 10.43 crore to Hubli-Dharwad Municipal Corporation commissioner P Manivannan towards the IT Park arrears.

Minister for science and technology Basavaraj Horatti said that a comprehensive action plan for the overall development of the twin cities should be drawn in consultation with all concerned.

Manivannan said that efforts by several people to ensure that the IT Park was put to use bore fruit now.
