President Pranab Mukherjee to inaugurate two cyber parks at Thondayad

KOZHIKODE: President  Pranab Mukherjee will inaugurate  the two cyber parks  at Thondayad  on February 28  at a  function to be organised by both the centres.

The two parks  are the UL cyber park of   Uralungal Labour Contract Cooperative Society (ULCCS)  and the  government cyber park  near Thondayad bypass, the emerging commercial hub of the city. UL cyber park is the first one  in the cooperative sector in the country.

Both the parks have  welcomed international  IT companies  which will provide  employment opportunities both directly and indirectly. Three MNCs have already received  approval from ULCCS and four  from the other park to start their operations soon after the inauguration in addition to the small scale companies from the state.

Mr T. K.  Kishor Kumar, Manager, Administration, UL cyber park, and  senior member of ULCCS said, “since the construction of both the parks was entrusted with ULCCS, we could  complete the  work in  time.   The parks can  let out  half of the five million square feet space to big companies.”
