IT POLICY 2006 – 2011



                             Government of Gujarat
                       Science and Technology Department
                           GR No:ITP-102006-942-DST
                            Sachivalay,Gandhinagar.

PREAMBLE:

As per the latest NASSCOM report of 2005, size of Information
Technology/Information Technology Enabled Services (IT/ITES) industry in India
has been to the tune of USD 36 billion dollar while it employs about 1.3 million
people. By 2010 this sector is set to grow to $ 60 billion and would employ 2.5
million persons. Thus, IT sector in India continues to offer excellent growth
opportunities.

Gujarat is one of the most prosperous States in the country. With 4.93% population
of the country it contributes about 16% of the country’s manufacturing GDP.
Gujarat has excellent physical infrastructure and has made rapid strides in the field
of IT and e-governance. Presently, IT sector in Gujarat employs about 15,000
persons. However, Gujarat is yet to realize its true potential in IT/ITES sector.
Looking to the large number of employment opportunities the State government
intends to accelerate growth of this sector.


Gujarat: An Aspiring Leader in IT


The State Government is committed to promote Gujarat as an attractive IT / ITES
destination in the country. As per the NASSCOM study, Ahmedabad is well ahead
of cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Bangalore in view of the lowest cost of
real estate, lower cost of human r esources, uninterrupted pow er supply and
investment friendl y State IT policy initiatives. In its continuing endeavor to
promote the IT / ITES Industry in the State, this policy offers several concessions
and incentives for companies engaged in IT/ITES activities and focuses upon the
strategy to develop IT related infrastructure.



(2) VISION:

To endeavor for rapid expansion and growth of knowledge based economy in the
State.


                                                                                    1
(3) OBJECTIVES:

      •    To attract investments in IT sector in the State so as to achieve a turnover
           of Rs.5000 crores in five years.
      •    To promote and develop employment opportunities in the IT sector and
           provide direct employment to 200,000 persons in five years.

(4) Area of Operation:

           It will be operative in the state of Gujarat.


(5)       Definition:

(6) STRATEG         Y:

6.1 Promotion of urban based IT infrastructure:

         IT sector is manpower intensive and generates large number of employment
opportunities. It basically needs skilled manpower. Urban centers are predominant
source of such skilled manpower. In addition urban centers generally have
requisite infrastructure to support IT sector. Gujarat is one of the most urbanized
States of the country having 37% of the population in the urban area and therefore,
it is logical to encourage setting up of IT infrastructure in the form of IT parks in the
urban conglomerate in the State. Therefore, the Government has decided to
undertake following activities to promote IT parks:-

      a) Identify suitable government land and reserve those for IT industry / IT
         Parks.
      b) Assist IT industry/infrastructure units in acquiring land under the Land
         Acquisition Act
      c) Advise the Urban Development Authorities / Municipal Corporations to
         develop town planning schemes in such a manner that land parcels are
         made available for development and growth of IT Industry / IT parks.
      d) State shall facilitate grant of SEZ status to IT Industry / IT Parks subject to
         the provision of SEZ Act/rules.

6.2      Enhancing supply of skilled manpower:

        Government of Gujarat recognizes the fact that IT industry not only requires
skilled work force but also needs assured supply of skilled man power. Therefore
government has been actively promoting and strengthening educational
infrastructure in the State.

       The Government is committed to enhance quality of the talent pool in the IT
sector. The state is also aware about the need for training of graduates for meeting
manpower needs of ITES sector which would require expertise in different verticals
like Back office processing, Medical transcription, Financial & Accounting
processing, Insurance claim processing,          HR & Pay Roll Processing etc.
Therefore, the State Government would promote training institutes who provide
specialized training in domain specific skills required by ITES companies.

       In order to facilitate employment of skilled work force by IT industries the
State government would set up a certification mechanism which will prescribe
certain tests to ascertain candidates’ skills in different areas suitable for
employment in IT sector. Data bank of Students who are IT literate and suitable for
deployment in IT industry would be maintained by Gujarat Informatics Ltd. in
collaboration with Directorate of employment & Training. The State government
has already launched www.talimrojgar.org portal, which is an online Employment
Exchange System. Thus, large database of available manpower is accessible
through internet. This would be strengthened further so that the industry can have
easy access to the skilled manpower.



                                                                                       3
6.3           Promotion of Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) based
              Industries

       Traditionally, people in Gujarat State have been very enterprising. They
have a natural penchant for trading, finance and accounting. Each year commerce
graduates constitute the largest chunk of graduates passing out from the colleges
and Universities. Supplementing them with requisite IT knowledge, such a work
force will become readily available for employment in KPO. Looking to this fact, the
State government will provide special emphasis on promotion of KPOs in the
State.

(7) ACTIONS:

7.1   State Government has identified following urban centers/conglomerates for
promotion of IT parks:-

                 •   Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar
                 •   Vadodara
                 •   Rajkot
                 •   Surat

In pursuant to the above, the State has already identified few of the strategically
located land parcels in above mentioned locations.

Expression of Interest (EoI) from reputed IT infrastructure developers will be invited
for development of IT Parks in aforesaid locations.

7.2 Land     Acquisition

In addition to the allocation of government land Government will also facilitate
purchase of private land in accordance of the land acquisition Act for development
of IT parks by leading and reputed developers/companies. Gujarat Industrial

institutional mechanism will also be used for training manpower for availing the
opportunities in the field of KPO.


                                                                                     4
7.3.b. Certification with NASSCOM

The State Government will collaborate with NASSCOM for “Nasscom Assessment
of Competence (NAC)”- the industry initiative aimed at positioning India’s Tier 2
and 3 cities and townships as ITES-BPO employment hubs. Its basic objective is to
define an assessment mechanism for individuals to assess his/her training needs
while making them aware of employment opportunities. This will help in scaling up
the right skill base among youth and open up jobs/growth opportunities in Tier 2
and 3 cities by improving the industry connections. In turn, BPO/KPO sector will

       Integrated Workflow & Document Ma nagement Sy stem (IWDMS) –
Being a repository of information, the Secretariat plays a crucial role in the
governance of the state. Decision – making and policy formulation processes
within the Secretariat involve receipt, dispatch and maintenance of a huge volume
of correspondence. For improved governance, it is critical to have an efficient
document control & monitoring mechanism in place.

        Integrated Workflow and Document Management System (IWDMS)
addresses these concerns and aims to standardize and streamline document
management by leveraging the established networks in the Secretariat
(Departmental LANs and GSWAN).It helps the Secretariat to monitor and process
all correspondence and enable it to move towards a ‘less paper’ offices regime and
knowledge-led governance.

10.2.5 Gujarat Informatics Ltd

Governance across the State.GIL facilitates implementation of e-Governance
related projects in terms of purchases of hardware, software and provision for
appropriate skill sets. Thus, GIL is one of the key instrumental organization of
capacity building framework for e-governance within the government.

and has also framed a website policy. Up till now all the departments have
developed their websites and more than 215 websites have been hosted in the

employees should accept IT as a modern tool which can make their working
environment more congenial and efficient. However, this will need change in
                                                                                10

          will be required to pass ‘CCC’ and ‘CCC+’ level certification respectively.
 (ii)     The State Government has also taken initiative on Gujarati language
          software standardization which will help improve interoperability of

PREAMBLE: As per the latest NASSCOM report of 2005, size of Information Technology/Information Technology Enabled Services (IT/ITES) industry in India has been to the tune of USD 36 billion dollar while it employs about 1.3 million people. By 2010 this sector is set to grow to $ 60 billion and would employ 2.5 million persons. Thus, IT sector in India continues to offer excellent growth opportunities. Gujarat is one of the most prosperous States in the country. With 4.93% population of the country it contributes about 16% of the country’s manufacturing GDP. Gujarat has excellent physical infrastructure and has made rapid strides in the field of IT and e-governance. Presently, IT sector in Gujarat employs about 15,000 persons. However, Gujarat is yet to realize its true potential in IT/ITES sector. Looking to the large number of employment opportunities the State government intends to accelerate growth of this sector. Gujarat: An Aspiring Leader in IT The State Government is committed to promote Gujarat as an attractive IT / ITES destination in the country. As per the NASSCOM study, Ahmedabad is well ahead of cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Pune and Bangalore in view of the lowest cost of real estate, lower cost of human r esources, uninterrupted pow er supply and investment friendl y State IT policy initiatives. In its continuing endeavor to promote the IT / ITES Industry in the State, this policy offers several concessions and incentives for companies engaged in IT/ITES activities and focuses upon the strategy to develop IT related infrastructure. (2) VISION: To endeavor for rapid expansion and growth of knowledge based economy in the State. 1
  • 5. (3) OBJECTIVES: • To attract investments in IT sector in the State so as to achieve a turnover of Rs.5000 crores in five years. • To promote and develop employment opportunities in the IT sector and provide direct employment to 200,000 persons in five years.

Such a unit should have commenced production before this date. 2
  • 6. (6) STRATEG Y: 6.1 Promotion of urban based IT infrastructure: IT sector is manpower intensive and generates large number of employment opportunities. It basically needs skilled manpower. Urban centers are predominant source of such skilled manpower. In addition urban centers generally have requisite infrastructure to support IT sector. Gujarat is one of the most urbanized States of the country having 37% of the population in the urban area and therefore, it is logical to encourage setting up of IT infrastructure in the form of IT parks in the urban conglomerate in the State. Therefore, the Government has decided to undertake following activities to promote IT parks:- a) Identify suitable government land and reserve those for IT industry / IT Parks. b) Assist IT industry/infrastructure units in acquiring land under the Land Acquisition Act c) Advise the Urban Development Authorities / Municipal Corporations to develop town planning schemes in such a manner that land parcels are made available for development and growth of IT Industry / IT parks. d) State shall facilitate grant of SEZ status to IT Industry / IT Parks subject to the provision of SEZ Act/rules. 6.2 Enhancing supply of skilled manpower: Government of Gujarat recognizes the fact that IT industry not only requires skilled work force but also needs assured supply of skilled man power. Therefore government has been actively promoting and strengthening educational infrastructure in the State. The Government is committed to enhance quality of the talent pool in the IT sector. The state is also aware about the need for training of graduates for meeting manpower needs of ITES sector which would require expertise in different verticals like Back office processing, Medical transcription, Financial & Accounting processing, Insurance claim processing, HR & Pay Roll Processing etc. Therefore, the State Government would promote training institutes who provide specialized training in domain specific skills required by ITES companies. In order to facilitate employment of skilled work force by IT industries the State government would set up a certification mechanism which will prescribe certain tests to ascertain candidates’ skills in different areas suitable for employment in IT sector. Data bank of Students who are IT literate and suitable for deployment in IT industry would be maintained by Gujarat Informatics Ltd. in collaboration with Directorate of employment & Training. The State government has already launched www.talimrojgar.org portal, which is an online Employment Exchange System. Thus, large database of available manpower is accessible through internet. This would be strengthened further so that the industry can have easy access to the skilled manpower. 3
  • 7. 6.3 Promotion of Knowledge Process Outsourcing (KPO) based Industries Traditionally, people in Gujarat State have been very enterprising. They have a natural penchant for trading, finance and accounting. Each year commerce graduates constitute the largest chunk of graduates passing out from the colleges and Universities. Supplementing them with requisite IT knowledge, such a work force will become readily available for employment in KPO. Looking to this fact, the State government will provide special emphasis on promotion of KPOs in the State. (7) ACTIONS: 7.1 State Government has identified following urban centers/conglomerates for promotion of IT parks:- • Ahmedabad / Gandhinagar • Vadodara • Rajkot • Surat In pursuant to the above, the State has already identified few of the strategically located land parcels in above mentioned locations.

Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation (GIDC), a premier body responsible for development of industry related infrastructure, will be the nodal agency for land acquisition. 7.3 Enhancing supply of skilled work force: 7.3.a Government, Industries & Inst itutions Initia tive for skill development. Government Institutes and Industry will take initiative to provide training inputs in respects of communication & soft skills to the youth in the age group of 18 – 25 years studying in the colleges of Gujarat. This will be provided in a distance learning mode through satellite communication facilities available at Bhaskaracharya Institute for Space Application and Geoinformatics (BISAG). This institutional mechanism will also be used for training manpower for availing the opportunities in the field of KPO. 4
  • 8. 7.3.b. Certification with NASSCOM The State Government will collaborate with NASSCOM for “Nasscom Assessment of Competence (NAC)”- the industry initiative aimed at positioning India’s Tier 2 and 3 cities and townships as ITES-BPO employment hubs. Its basic objective is to define an assessment mechanism for individuals to assess his/her training needs while making them aware of employment opportunities. This will help in scaling up the right skill base among youth and open up jobs/growth opportunities in Tier 2 and 3 cities by improving the industry connections. In turn, BPO/KPO sector will have easy access to quality man power at minimum cost and time. 7.4 Other Policy Incentives 7.4.a Mega IT Projects On case to case basis, a special package of incentives will be offered for mega IT projects.
