I am unable to found much news related to STPI ( Software Technology Parks of India ) progress in Agra, IT Parks in Agra.
I think Agra should be promoted with non pollutated IT industry. There are so many engineering colleges and so resources. UP government should take right approach to promote IT industry in Agra. I want to know what happens with STPI - ADA talks, Mr. Rajesh Kumar , Mr. M.P. Dubey's visit. and what Mr. S. K. Agarwal ( Director Noida now Director Mumbai) thinks.
And Mr. P. Venugopal ( Current Director STPI Noida) do for Agra.
UP & Bihar can never be developed because of such attitude of officers sitting in respective state. Even after around 10 years they are not able to get finalized the location for STPI in Agra. Very Fast Working Speed of State Govt. it seems that all they are working with full dedication of personal interest not for public interest.
