In order to boost the job prospects in Jammu and Kashmir, state government has decided to set up an Information Technology Park in Budgam district.

"The IT park will be established in Ompora area for which 19 acres of land has been identified. There are not enough job opportunities in government sector to absorb IT professionals, so setting up of the IT park will go a long way in creating job avenues for them," Minister for Industries and IT S S Slathia said here today.

Assuring all assistance for the park, he asked the officials concerned to work out the project so that modality of land transfer is finalised early.

He said the department has constituted a committee headed by Director Industries and Commerce with MD, SICOP and MD, SIDCO as its members to ensure hassle free electric and other allied facilities to the entrepreneurs under one roof and in a time-bound manner.
