Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar, during a meeting in Mumbai on Thursday, has urged authorities to allocate 30 acres of land within Shenda Park in Kolhapur for the development of an IT park. This decision follows Pawar's previous commitment, made during his recent visit to Kolhapur, where he assured residents of the establishment of an IT park in the city. Pawar had even asserted that several multinational companies had expressed interest in setting up their operations in Kolhapur.

"I have requested the authorities to ensure the allocation of 30 acres of land from Shenda Park for the creation of an IT Park. Presently, this land is under the jurisdiction of Mahatma Phule Krushi Vidyapeeth, and I have urged the relevant authorities to take necessary steps to make an additional 50 acres of land available to the Agriculture University," stated Ajit Pawar during the meeting held in Mumbai. The Deputy Chief Minister emphasized that Shenda Park is an ideal location for an IT park due to its proximity to the airport and the Pune-Bengaluru highway. Additionally, he urged the authorities to expedite the planning process for this initiative.
