There is also demand from Tumkur and Shimoga for software parks: Anup Pujar
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The two cities expected to generate manpower because of good engineering colleges
# Mysore, Mangalore are attracting investments
# Office space available in Hubli; infrastructure being maintained by KEONICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MYSORE: Principal Secretary, Department of Information Technology, Biotechnology and Science and Technology, Anup K. Pujar on Friday said the Government was looking at development of a few cities, including Gulbarga and Davangere, besides Hubli-Dharwad for attracting investments in information technology.
Dr. Pujar told presspersons here that while the Software Technology Parks of India (STPI) would be set up in Gulbarga to give a boost to information technology, the Government was looking at Davangere as an alternative destination for promotion of information technology. Both these cities, he said, could generate manpower as they had good engineering colleges.
He said the demand to set up software parks was also coming from political representatives in Tumkur and Shimoga. "These steps are being taken to promote cities other than Mysore and Mangalore as they have started attracting investments," he said. Dr. Pujar said that after "Destination Hubli'', the Government had received several proposals from information technology industries keen on investing in the State.
He pointed out that 2.72 lakh sq ft of office space was available in Hubli and that the infrastructure was at present managed by KEONICS. Dr. Pujar, however, said caution had to be exercised before spreading investments across the State as synergy could not be attained if the investments were sparsely spread among different regions.
He said many companies had preferred Mysore and Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) was one among them.
The Government had received a specific proposal from TCS to start its operation in Mysore. It had also evinced interest in Mangalore, Bangalore and Hubli-Dharwad, he added. This proposal had been made after "Destination Hubli'' was organised on May 20 by the Government, he added.
He said Mysore had infrastructure. "Connectivity was the only problem earlier, but after Mysore has been connected to Bangalore, travelling has become easier. The existing road has brought satisfaction to the commuters."
Biotech park
Dr. Pujar said the Government had cleared the biotechnology park at the Electronics City near Bangalore following clearance from the Cabinet on Sunday. To come up on 106 acres, the park would be completed in three phases. During the first phase, building for the Institute of Bio-informatics and Biotechnology would be constructed at a cost of Rs. 111 crore for which tender process had been completed.

Park mooted for Hubli's development into IT hub
Park mooted for Hubli's development into IT hub
HDMC Website
Dr Nagaraj L Hiregoudar, management professor and coordinator of Science and Technology Entrepreneurship Park (STEP) of BVB College , has proposed a model for Software park called 'Z Software Park Model for Hubli' based on the Tsinghua Software Park , to attract software investments in Hubli.
Hiregoudar's Z Park draws inspiration from the International Conference on Management of Technology (IAMOT) he attended at Beijing , China .
It has all infrastructure to house 200 companies with office buildings, residential quarters and amenities like swimming pool, exhibition centers, internal transportation system.
At IAMOT it was resolved that technology management, innovation management, strategic management should be introduced as subjects at undergraduate courses, Hiregoudar said.
It was high time that technology was managed properly and strategies were developed to cope with technological advancements. Unless people at middle management and workers accepted quality standards, in government as well as private organisations, the desired results of total quality for the benefit of producers and consumers cannot be achieved.
The professor said that India had gained a reputation world wide as the largest provider of technical manpower and a number one in software development.
To encourage foreign investment, India should concentrate on excellent infrastructure in terms of land and air connectivity, clean and wide roads and flyovers, he opined.
Faster and pollution free modes of transport within and between cities were necessary, he said.
Taking on China
China had developed in Hardware Technology such as semiconductors, microchips. The Chinese were considered to be sincere, hardworking and service minded. Indians had to build such a reputation.
Another factor in China 's favour with regard to attracting foreign investment was that its law enforcing agencies performed their duties diligently and sincerely
The Indian government and people should work to strengthen the enforcement agencies, he explained. "Our advantage is that we have better English speaking and writing skills than the Chinese."
Hiregoudar said that a mechanism should be developed to commercialise research output from industry institution partnership.
Most of the product design and development in manufacturing was the fruit of strong ties between academic institutions and industries.
Market research
The output from institute-industry partnership could be sold to any entrepreneurs who intend to buy product technology.
The conference at Beijing concluded that there would be no point in technology developments and paper publications that do not have strong market research support.
At the conference, Hiregoudar, a management consultant for Malaysian Companies, presented the paper entitled "Employee Issues in the Implementation of ISO 9000 Quality System in Manufacturing Companies in Malaysia ".
