The Kerala government yesterday signed an agreement with its Dubai-based promoters for setting up the Smart City IT project in Kochi.
The proposed Smart City is likely to generate direct employment for 80,000 people and provide indirect employment to another 20,000 people.
The long-pending dispute between the two sides over the land ownership issues concerning the project were settled at the talks between Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan and Ahmed Homaid al Tajir, member of the Supreme Committee for Dubai World Group and Public Holding Group.
