Representatives to meet the IT minister to boost Rushikonda IT SEZ
Lack of basic amenities, connectivity, power problem and transportation causes hindrance in the much famous IT special economic zone that Rushikonda houses which is hardly 15 firms out of nearly 100 odd IT and ITeS players who call Vizag their home.
The representatives of several IT companies and other industrial bodies are scheduled to meet the IT minister Palle Raghunatha Reddy to put forward the list of demands they have in order to make Rushikonda IT Special economic Zone on the radar of several IT companies that are growing up in the city. Two of the key factors that help in the proper set up of SEZ are human resources and bandwidth. The representatives said that the government has not yet been able to provide them with the bandwidth. The representatives had approached BSNL but due to some reasons the matter had not been sorted out.
They further stated that in places like Hyderabad and Bangalore the issues are easily sorted out because the telecom company offices are located closely and they can easily issue their grievances. However in Vizag it is difficult to sort out all the matters so easily.
