Minister for IT, BT, Science and Technology C.N. Ashwath Narayan on Monday said that non-IT firms operating from the IT park in Hubballi would be asked to vacate the premises in order to provide space for IT,BT companies.
Addressing a press conference in Hubballi on Monday, Dr. Narayan said that the government was making all efforts to develop the Hubballi-Dharwad-Belagavi cluster through handholding start-ups from the region.
“One of the requirements was incubation facility for start-ups during the initial days. There is a demand for setting up a 5,000-seater facility at one place. We already have an IT park and the Aryabhata tech park in Hubballi. We also have space at VTU in Belagavi and at universities,” he said.
