Early Completion Of Chittoor Mega Food Park

Demand For Early Completion Of Chittoor Mega Food Park In Andhra Pradesh

Chittoor Mega Food Park is the first Mega Food Park being established in the country at the total cost of Rs. 126.54 crores, in village Mogili, at Chittoor District in Andhra Pradesh. Out of fifteen Mega Food Parks sanctioned during the Xlth Plan by the Ministry of Food Processing, this is the first Mega Food Park approved by the Ministry of Food Processing Industries. The Mega Food Park Scheme was approved by the Government during the XI Plan, with an objective of developing adequate infrastructure facilities with effective supply chain management from farm gate to retailer outlet in a market driven manner. The approval of first phase of Chittoor Mega Food Park was accorded in the year 2009. Till date only 50-60% works at the Central Processing Centre (CPC) have been completed. Special Purpose Vehicle viz. M/s Srini Mega Food Park Pvt. Limited have floated tenders for various components of basic enabling, core processing and non-core infrastructure at the CPC. However there has been inordinate delay in completion of this project. The early completion of this Mega Food 
Park will not only generate employment but people of Chittoor District it will also be benefited from the project. There will be economic development in the region. I, therefore urge upon the Government to take necessary action and direct the concerned agency for early completion of this project.
