NDF supreme council consider the  Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed between Government of Kerala and Dubai Internet City in its current form is against state's interests. As per the current MoU, Kerala government will provide 62.72  acres of land in the commercial city of Kochi for a lesser price while 236 Acres will  lease to DIC for a long term. In return, the state  may benefit only 33,000 jobs and a tiny share of 9%. 

The proposed  Smart City project based in the port city of Kochi,   will be a 'no laymen zone' and It will be hard for deprived or  backward section of the state to find jobs in such free zones. NDF supreme council recalled the statistics from India's prestigious technical institutions known as IITs which merely served the upper class interests and the international corporates instead of Nehruvian wish for national interests.

NDF requested  the state government to follow  a competitive model based on our own assets,resources and social fabric. The current MoU will not help to build social justice in this exclusive zone, as the state laws related to  working hours, minimum wages,  backward class reservations,etc will not be applied in  the proposed Smart City Project.

NDF demanded more funding and technical assistance to the state owned C-DIT(The Centre for Development of Imaging Technology), which is currently striving for governmental help. C- DIT had  established credentials in information technology by offering many open source softwares like NILA. The Government should utilise the potential of state institutions like C-DIT for  mass expansion of Information technology  by offering more and more open source softwares in regional language. Even the Government of France itself engaged in developing and offering free open softwares like AGORA  to foster interoperability of web content and functionalities across government.   French government is going to replace Microsoft,  under a Project ADELE, a plan to computerize much of the country's administration by 2007.  Such visionary attempts from politicians will generate more employment and self sufficiency to the state, NDF supreme council said.
