Trivandrum, Technology and Technopark
The name "Kerala" conjures up images of lush green tea and rubber plantations, coconut palms, exotic spices, misty mountains, scenic backwaters and houseboats, divine beaches, delicious seafood and ayurvedic massages. They call it" God's Own Country", and according to the National Geographic Traveler, its 'one of the ten paradises of the world'. Thanks to Nature's bounty bestowed upon Kerala, tourism is flourishing and helping an otherwise stifled economy.
The climate in India's only 100% literate state and once labeled "investor-hostile" is changing. There is a new resolve and time to unshackle the past. With the waves of globalization having touched its vast palm-fringed shores, Kerala is getting itself 'wired'. 98% of the state already is. The State Government recognizes the need for drastic change and infusion of new ideas in it's working.
An important thrust area is Information Technology. And if the vision is to make Kerala a dream IT destination in the next 5 years, then Technopark, with state-of-the-art infrastructure, is perhaps the stepping stone in that direction. |
