related institutions within India and outside and providing
necessary incentives / concessions to encourage private
initiative in the IT sector.

to these incentives, the following incentives are proposed
to be given to encourage young entrepreneurs to set
up industry, especially for software development, in
Tripura:-

give the same status to the sector of IT-enabled
services as is given to the sector of software development.

IT software industry will be
exempted from locational regulations. |
| 3. |
The IT Software industry will
be exempt from the provisions of certain acts/ regulations,
like Pollution Control Act, Factories Act and Contract
Labour (Regulation) Act to facilitate easy setting
up of software units. |

Department of Industries &
Commerce shall create a separate area for setting
up the units for major IT companies. This area shall
be designated as an IT Park. The State Govt. would
provide basic infrastructural facilities at the
Designated IT Park, including uninterrupted power
