Even after the state government changed the rules of liqueur in April to allow the sale of legal alcohol in the designated IT Parks, Ul Cyber Park and the governmental cyber park in Kozhikode for the time being to integrate socializing pubs into their ecosystems for technology professionals.
“We will not build pubs or shopping centers,” said Hindu TK Kishhore Kumar, Operating Director of Ul Cyber Park.
His statement was not surprising, given that Cyber Park UL is part of a cooperative society with a contractive work of the Uralungal (ULCCS), an organization founded by the Social Reformer of the 20th Century of Vagbhatanand, which forbids its members to consume alcohol. Mr. Kumar stressed that the park is still determined for ecological expansion. “We focused on development such as telecommunications, green energy and rainwater collection,” he said.
Vivek Nair, CEO of the government cyber park, confirmed that there were no pubs in the park. “Such devices will be presented in the technopark (Thiruvananthapuram) and a infopark (Kochi) before they are presented in Cyberpark (Kozhikode),” he stressed. Mr. Nair added that the cyber park is currently favored by the development of infrastructure with the help of the Malabar Chamber. “We are trying to improve the connectivity of the airport and the railway; later we can consider the Restobarre introduction,” he said.
Government Cyber Park is located 80 companies and approximately 2,200 employees, while Cyber Park UL has 40 companies, 40 start -ups and more than 2,000 employees. Both parks are located on the bypass of Kozhikode in Nejlikode.
Addithya Ajith, a technology employee in Cyber Park UL, expressed her satisfaction with existing infrastructure, especially security. “The park takes strict security measures and ensures that employees have a working environment without disruption,” Mrs. Ajith said, suggesting that at least some employees were a safe workplace for satisfaction.
Abhishek PC, an employee from Kozhikode working in a governmental cyber park, noted that several of his colleagues were enthusiastic about the pub on the academic ground. “Many people who work here would like to see a pub open on academic ground,” said Mr. Abhishek. “If so, I’m not against it – which would mean that we would finally enjoy our weekends,” he added, suggesting a wider desire between IT employees for space and resting time.
