Aradi: The state government has taken a host of developmental projects for Akhandalamani Peetha in Bhadrak to boost tourism. The latest thing added to the list is a science park to be set up at Kuleipada near Aradi. The government has given its nod to the project.
According to reports, the science park will come up on five acres while Rs 6 core has been allocated for the project in the first phase. Meanwhile, a tender has been floated for it.
According to the district administration, more land and funds will be provided for the park project in the next phases.
A team of officials comprising Collector Gyanaranjan Das, sub-collector, a senior assistant of the science and technology department, Chandbali tehsildar, the project director of NCCP (GoI) and Aradi revenue inspector took stock of the project at the village Thursday.
The officials revealed that construction work of the project will be started in August.
Notably, the project was announced by the state government two years ago, but conversion of land took time.
