“Many IT companies like Wipro and IBM have already showed interests to set up their IT base in the proposed building. The building would be completed within two and half years time from now, Kar said.
The Avon Technology Pvt Ltd was awarded the work to construct a six-storied IT friendly building which will be on the form of G-five. The construction work will begin from next month.
“The local IT educated youth will immensely be benefited if the proposed IT hub is established”, Kar said.
