| |
|
|
| |
The State Government had promulgated an extensive industrial promotion policy for Agro Food Processing Industries in the year 1999 vide Government Order No.CI 20 SPI 1999 dated 13th April 1999. This policy had provided for certain amendments in the Land Reforms Rules in respect of the purchase of agricultural lands by and for Agro Processing Industries; its utilization for captive cultivation of raw materials; delegation of powers to the Deputy Commissioners of districts to grant approval for the purchase of agricultural lands by such industrial units and sales tax incentives. Since the sales tax incentives were withdrawn from 1st Jan. 2000, the Government re-examined the entire policy and vide order No.CI 20 SPI 1999 dated 23rd March 2001, brought the Agro Food Processing Industries also under General Industrial Policy of the State for 1996-2001. |

Karnataka already has the training and knowledge base necessary to drive the revolution. We have the critical mass of biotech companies and the best research institutions. The immediate challenge is how to nurture that innovation, promote entrepreneurship and facilitate effective technology transfer to the end users. I am happy to announce a Vision Group on biotechnology is being set up to advise the government on future strategies."

PREAMBLE
1. The ongoing process of opening up of the Indian economy, changing Industrial and trade policies over the last decade and the formation of WTO have together given rise to stiff challenges as well as tremendous opportunities for Indian Industry. While the challenges are the result of liberalised imports of raw materials, components and finished products from across the globe in an increasingly reducing tariff regime, the opportunities arise from the opening up of the world markets for Indian industry.
2. The Govt. of India has in the recent past, initiated a number of measures to promote exports of both primary and manufactured products as also services. Allocation of funds for export development by States, Export Promotion Industrial Park Scheme, Critical Infrastructure Balance Scheme, Export Intensive Area scheme, Market Development Scheme and setting up of Special Economic Zones, in important locations are some of the initiatives taken by the Govt. of India. The recent ASIDE (Assistance to States for Infrastructure Development and Allied Activities) programme merges most of these initatives of the Govt. of India under one head. Assistance under ASIDE can be utilised by the State for development of infrasturcture related to promotion of exports. Assistance under the scheme can also be used for EPIP and Special Economic Zone projects. Allocation to the States under ASIDE is linked to export performance of the State. The State Level Export Promotion Committee has been empowered to sanction schemes under ASIDE. It is, therefore, necessary that the State fully utilise the opportunities that are thrown open by the initiatives of the Govt. of India and and formulates a comprehensive policy and appropriate strategies for promoting exports from the State. |

1. Introduction
Karnataka is one amongst the industrially developed States in the
Country. The State has all potential to stand out on the fore front and has
been focusing on development of industries, trade and service sectors.
The State Government understands that the challenges poised due to
global economic recession have to be addressed to promote economic
growth of the State. A stimulus to boost economic activities needs to be
given to sustain the current pace of over all development. Further, the
State is endowed with rich natural resources across the State and such
resources need to be optimally utilized for the benefit of local people.
Value addition to resources is one of the ways of optimizing the wealth
available locally. This will also help ensure uniform spread of industries
and economic activities throughout the State and will accelerate the pace
of development especially in the districts of North Karnataka. Through
these measures, the Government would be able to readdress the serious
issue of regional imbalances in development.

Introduction
1.0 Karnataka is in the forefront of Information Technology and is called the Silicon State of India. In addition, the state capital Bangalore has shown tremendous growth in the IT Sector and is the IT Capital of India.
1.1 Karnataka is the first state to announce IT Policy in the year 1997. This Policy has acted as an important catalyst for the growth of IT Industry in the State. The industry however is growing in leaps and bounds. The type and nature of business are rapidly expanding. Karnataka is becoming the centre for more and more companies in sophisticated IT Products and Services. The value addition from IT Professionals of Bangalore is getting at the higher end of the spectrum. Thanks to Moore's Law, the cost of technology is dropping and technology is advancing exponentially. Thus, the prices of the new products are dropping rapidly and the same products are becoming more intelligent. The IT usage is becoming more widespread and relevant. It is necessary to re-focus on the IT Policy and define it in a way that is most suited for the present. |

1. Introduction
Minerals are important natural, finite and non-renewable
valuable resources essential for mankind. “Minerals are
the treasures of the State”, therefore, systematic,
scientific and sustainable harnessing of mineral wealth
should be the cornerstone of development objectives
of the state. The utilization of these minerals has to
be guided by long term goals and perspectives. As
these goals and perspectives are dynamic and
responsive to the economic scenario, the Karnataka
mineral policy has to evolve. It is therefore necessary
to revisit the Karnataka Mineral Policy 2000. |

| SEZ Policy |
| |
|
|
| |
Preamble:
The Government of India have announced the concept of Special Economic Zones (SEZs) in the year 2000 through a revision in the EXIM Policy 1997-2002 with a view to providing an internationally competitive and hassle free environment for production of goods and services for exports. These SEZs are virtually deemed to be a foreign territory within the Country, free from all the rules and regulations governing the import and export. The SEZs are specifically treated as duty free enclaves for the purpose of industrial, service and trade operations with exemption from customs duties and a more liberal regime on levies, foreign investment and other transactions. The domestic regulations, restrictions and infrastructure inadequacies are sought to be removed for creating an investor and industry friendly environment. The SEZs would be islands of excellence and efficiency. |
