Thiruvananthapuram, March 03: Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan today said the IT sector in the state had registered a tremendous growth in the last four years of Left Democratic Front rule.
IT exports had increased from Rs 680 crore in 2006 to Rs 3,000 crore and the government had taken steps to sustain the growth rate, he said.
The IT industry had developed manifold and several infrastructural facilities had been set up during the period, he said replying to the debate on Motion of Thanks to Governor R S Gavai for his address in the Assembly.
Achuthanandan said his government had checked the previous UDF government’s move for privatisation of Infopark at Kochi.
With a specific IT policy, the government was trying for a balanced expansion of IT industry in all parts of the state instead of concentrating on one or two cities.
