National IT sector body, Nasscom reacted positively to the news about West Bengal government's decision to offer land at Rajarhat to Wipro and Infosys, 10 days after the IT township project was scrapped.
"It is a good news and on behalf of Nasscom I congratulate Chief Minister for taking such a progressive decision. It is puja gift to IT industry," Nasscom East head and CIO of ITC VVR Babu told PTI.
"This will give right signals to IT business to invest here. Even customers across the world are following the development closely. I hope this will be beginning of new growth phase in Bengal," he added.

The government will formally inform the companies tomorrow.
