VS calls in IT majors to State

Kerala Chief Minister VS Achuthanandan said on Saturday that the LDF Government would extend all support to major IT companies setting up facilities in any part of the State.

Speaking at a function after laying down the foundation stone of the first own campus of Infosys at Kazhakkoottam, he said that not just the State capital but any other place in Kerala was suitable for starting IT and ITES ventures.

He said the Government expected the companies to develop facilities at sites acquired for the purpose without delay, to prevent the State from taking back the land un-utilised for long.
Infosys co-founder and board member K Dinesh said the company had plans to invest Rs 3.06 billion in developing the centre, creating a seating capacity of 8,000.

The first unit of the new campus would have a capacity to employ 1,500 people.
