Orissa's Minister for Information Technology (IT) Ramesh Majhi hoped that the centre of the Software Technology Park of India (STPI) in Berhampur would be functional soon.
The third Software Technology Park of India (STPI) being set up at Ambapua on the outskirts of the city. The construction work of the project is almost complete, according to the authorities. But, during his visit to the city, Mr. Majhi said proposals were on to open up another STP centre in Balasore in north Orissa.
He requested the local entrepreneurs to come out and utilize the STPI in Berhampur to make this city another IT hub of Orissa. Speaking to newsmen, he said there was ample scope for development in the field of IT in the State which was evident from the success of infocity project in Bhubaneswar
According to sources, the STPI authorities had approached some major IT companies for taking up projects with the help of Berhampur STPI, but no company has committed for it. The impact of slump in the international economy, especially in the IT sphere, was a major reason behind it. With the recession phase over, the authorities hoped that STPI Berhampur would become operational. Berhampur happens to be the third centre of the STPI in the State after Bhubaneswar and Rourkela . It was to act as a resource centre for the software-exporting units by offering plug and play office space and high speed data communication with uninterrupted data connectivity.
The Berhampur STPI centre has built-up area of about 10,000 sq ft. The MoU (memorandum of understanding) for the centre was signed between STPI and the Orissa government in July 2005.

"We have invited some reputed IT companies to open their units in Bderhampur STPI centre, but they are yet to give any firm commitment", said Manas Panda, additional director, STPI.The Berhampur STPI centre is the third such institute in the state after Bhubaneswar and Rourkela. The government proposes to establsih another STPI centre at Balasore. The Berhampur complex was set up by STPI, an autonomous body under the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), on 3 acres of land at the outskirt of the city at an investment of Rs 5 crore. The state government had provided the land free of cost. The chief minister Naveen Patnaik laid the foundation stone for the project on December 13, 2006.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteI am pleased about the setting up of a STPI in orissa, particularly near Berhampur.
I am aware of many software engineers who have their home towns in Berhampur. This needs to be advertised on a national scale to attract potential investors and companies who would be willing to setup base here.
Any idea where I can find more information about this STPI? I would appreciate it if anyone could post wither the contact/website etc.
Good initiative..
Yeah we know about it. They are already spamming the US for work, and we are continuing to block all Indian IP addresses because of it. Soon the whole US will be invisible to the Indian public.
