Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister C N Ashwath Narayan on Saturday requested Defence Minister Rajnath Singh to hand over 750 acres of defence land in Belagavi to set up a software technology park.
The DCM, who holds the IT and BT portfolio, met Singh here explained the need for land.
He said if the Defence Ministry provides the land, the state plans to set up an IT park to house both software and hardware companies there.
Since the said land is close to NH-8 in Belagavi, it is ideal for a software park, the DCM is reported to have told Singh.
With Belagavi being an education hub, it would be good to set up such a park there, said a statement.
