Kurseong IT Park Project Stalls Due to State Funds Delay

The Kurseong IT park, announced by the chief minister of West Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, in December 2023, is facing delays due to a lack of funds from the state government.

The GTA, responsible for executing the project, has not received any funds despite starting the work.

The project, which aims to provide opportunities for entrepreneurs in north Bengal and serve as a gateway to neighboring countries, has a budget of ₹24.79 crore and is expected to be completed in two phases, with the first phase due by December 2025.

The park will have various facilities, including plug and play modules, a rooftop futsal ground, a badminton court, and a rooftop theater.

However, the lack of funds has slowed down the progress, and vendors associated with the project have not been paid.
