Funny statments. Are you an agent of Congress/TECOM? Youth know about the activities of current government very well. If you dont know about the achievement, then I will tell you.
First I have a question.
Why are you blaming only the government and not blaming TECOM ?
TECOM have started discussions in the year 2002 and signed an agreement in May 2007 and not started any activities till now and you are still supporting them. Are you really an Indian or are you from Pakistan? You simply blame government. Do not mug everything written by media business men and write something.Why are you not blaming the companies for not starting these projects? No need of any more government support or assistance required for these projects.

- HDIL Cyber City
- TCS Campus, Kochi
- IBS Campus Kochi
- L&T Signature Tower, Infopark Kochi
- Brigade IT Park, Infopark Kochi
- Parsvanath IT SEZ, Chengamanad
- Unitech SEZ, Kakkanad
Govt gave all approvals and is there any work started ?????????? Its because of recession. Same is the case for Smart City also. TECOM has already invested 100 crores for Smart City in May 2007. They appointed consultant for master plan also, applied for SEZ - 246 acres. Central government did not give SEZ status for the whole 246 acres and gave only for 136 acres due to a river. Then recession came in by the end of 2007. Lease deed had to be registered to get the SEZ status for 246 acres. If the SEZ is for 246 acres, then TECOM cannot get free holding from the SEZ land. Due to recession and poor financial conditions of TECOM, they demanded for change in lease deed to give free holding before applying for SEZ for 246 acres. They stopped the master plan preparation also. Government is not ready for this, as government is very sceptical about the capablitiy of TECOM. It may create legal issues too. People might challenge this in court as it happened for HDIL Cyber City. They said that they will invest 1500 crores and after investing 100 crores, they didnt have the money to prepare a master plan. So government should cancel the agreement with TECOM asap. There are lot of business men from arab countries who are influencing the officials and stalling this project. Those business grps are not ready to give this project to any other company. Those grps are influencing government too. That could be the reason why govt took this much time to give an ultimatum to TECOM. Recession also cud be an issue. During recession, there was nobody else to take up ths project.
Now government should cancel agreement with TECOM and develop Smart City with the help of other private investors as the same agreement as TECOM(Already investors are ready) or should develop it in a way similar to TechnoCity Trivandrum.

When govt started, there was a recruitment freeze in 2006. In 2007, Government has started recruitments in a big way. Most the departments are recruiting. Government has started lot of companies in the coperative sector to create more jobs like the Thriveni super store and Mithra stores etc etc. Government revived all the public sector companies too. Lot of young people are getting jobs here. Also major recruitments are going in Police force, Schools, Colleges, Hospitals etc etc. There are no recruitment freeze and well educated youth is getting multiple jobs in kerala. PSC list is ready for jobs in all sectors and the appoinments are going on.

Coach factory – Palakkad
HAL – Kasargode
Private Companies

IBS – Kochi – Gave land for IBS in Kochi
TCS – Kochi – Gave land in Kochi
RMZ – Kinfra – Kochi
Brigade – Infopark.
HDIL Cybercity – Kinfra – Kalamassery

Most of the private companies have not started operations due to the recession issues. But Koratty Infopark is fully occupied now. It is really an achievement of Infopark. But construction of BEL centre in Kalamassery is goin on. Also BEML is functional in Palakkad now. I really thank AK Antony for his efforts to bring all these PSUs to kerala. Cities like bangalore got lot of advantages due to these PSUs.
