The Karnataka government would do everything within its means to help the Information Technology industry "grow, develop and flourish", Chief Minister H D Kumaraswamy said on Thursday, in an effort to assuage industry's concern over the city's infrastructure.

He said over the last one year, there have been lot of talks about the state of infrastructure in Bangalore, the future of the city and IT here.

"Let me assure that our government is clear in its agenda. We want the IT industry and the brand Bangalore to grow, develop and flourish. Our government will do everything within its means for this," Kumaraswamy said.

Speaking at the inaugural function of an information and communication technology conference, organised by the World Customs Organisation, he said, "It is a matter of great pride and joy for us that Infosys, Wipro and several other companies that took birth and blossomed in Karnataka have expanded globally."

Some of these companies are also expanding their operations in other cities in India.

"I welcome the growth of IT industry throughout the country and I would like Karnataka to contribute to the future growth of IT industry in the same measure as it has done in the past."
