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.”
