Bihar to establish its first IT park

According to a latest update, the Indian state Bihar is in the process of setting up its first Information technology (IT) park  near the state capital on the lines of Bangalore's International Tech Park and Hyderabad's Software Technology Park. 

It is reportedly said that the IT park in Bihar will be built on public-private partnership basis. The state government has acquired 25 acres of land for establishing the IT park.
Reliable sources informed that the new IT park is likely to be set up at Bihta which is 30 kilometer from Bihar's capital city Patna. This place will be later developed as Bihar's IT hub by taking advantage of other modern infrastructure facilities.
According to a spokesperson from Chief Minister's Office in Bihar, a private consultancy company was hired to survey the land and to prepare a business plan for the proposed IT park.
The spokesperson further assured that the IT park would have high bandwidth facility for high-speed internet and uninterrupted power supply. The work is in progress by a team led by officials of the IT department. Most probably, the construction work will begin by next year. 
Some reliable insiders informed our team that Infosys has shown interest for a plot near Bihta after the state government acquired land for setting up an IIT campus there.
