Hyderabad: The Telangana government is aiming at retrofitting all IT parks in partnership with multiple agencies. Retrof-itting is aimed at improving the economic performance, work environment, employability and environment performance of the IT parks and will be initially tested in IT parks in Madhapur and Nanakramguda.
“GIZ has already done ‘greening’ of industrial parks and retrofitting in Jadcherla and Nacharam and has announced a Rs 10-crore grant for studying the impact of climate change. We, from our side, will provide Rs 5 lakh support to the five IT parks for taking up the initiative and ultimately all the 124 buildings are being aimed for retrofitting,” said IT minister Mr K.T. Rama Rao.
The five-point programme will focus on greening the buildings, waste management, plantations, rain water harvesting, cycling to work, insulation, solar energy, green roofs and walls, barrier free buildings for improving accessibility to physically challenged people and waste management.
