West Bengal to Build New IT Parks in North Bengal
Imagine West Bengal wants to build more places for tech companies, like offices, so they can grow.
They already have some, and they're all busy!
So, they're building three new ones in the north, in places called Kurseong, Kalimpong, and Jalpaiguri.
One is already being worked on, and they're figuring out where to build the others.
They're also building one more in Chinsurah, south Bengal.
This should help create more jobs and boost the economy.
West Bengal plans to establish three new IT parks in North Bengal.
The IT parks will be located in Kurseong, Kalimpong, and Jalpaiguri.
The Gorkhaland Territorial Administration is already working on the Kurseong IT park.
The Kalimpong IT park will be constructed near Deolo Hill.
The state currently has 22 IT parks with high occupancy rates.
