The Information Technology Park (commonly known as Info Tech Park or IT Park), Nepal's only Information Technology Park,[1][2] is situated in the border Banepa and Panauti of Kavrepalanchowk District, Nepal.[3] Although it comes under Panauti Municipality. It lies about 28 kilometres northeast of the capital city Kathmandu.[4]

History

Information Technology Park was completed in April 2003[5] with the total investment of NRs. 270 million. The initiation of the park was formally done by an American company IEBAM but it left after nine months.[6] Javra Software Company of Netherlands had also started to work but it also left stating technical reasons and shifted to Kathmandu. Over 290 million rupees has already been invested for constructing this technology park.[7] By July 2014, it has not come into operation due to which the Government of Nepal is missing millions of revenue. The government has formed a department named as Department of Information Technology for the socio-economic transformation to form a developed country.[8][9]

Aims and Objectives

The IT Park was established under Ministry of Industry for the development and promotion of information technology and services in the country.[10] It has been said to be providing employment opportunities to about 15000 technicians after the full range of operations of the IT Park. It has aimed to provide government services by maximizing the use of Information and technology.

Land and distribution

The Park has been distributed within the area of 235 Ropanis (12 hectares[11]) consisting of a commercial building, an administrative building, four residential buildings and a security building built by investing NRs. 500 million.[6]
