Professionals want to work in Madurai IT parks: ELCOT MD
SRIVILLIPUTTUR: Information Technology (IT) industry in Bangalore would face a severe manpower shortage in the near future as professionals from southern districts showed a keen interest to work in the proposed IT parks in Madurai, said C. Uma Shankar, Managing Director, Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT).
“Young professionals who were attracted by the metros are tired of longer hours of commuting to offices through the congested traffic. They also hate the pollution there,” Mr. Uma Shankar told reporters at Kalasalingam University at Krishnankoil near here on Wednesday. Many professionals from cities like Chennai, Mumbai and foreign countries too had expressed to him through mails their intention to work in Madurai, he said.
Stating that manpower was crucial to the IT industry, he said over 100 engineering colleges that were producing hardworking professionals from the southern districts would be an attraction to the IT companies setting their foot in Madurai.
Those IT firms coming to Madurai would be given first preference in conducting campus recruitments and they would get the cream of the students.
“If they (IT giants) do not come here, they will lose these professionals,” Mr. Uma Shankar said.
Owing to great potential for IT industry in terms of manpower, ELCOT now wanted to own the Tidel Park proposed in Madurai, instead of its earlier plan for public-private partnership. ELCOT was considering mobilisation of funds and setting it up in association with Tamil Nadu Industrial Development Corporation.
“Tidel Park will be under ELCOT’s control and the State Government will gain,” he said.
“The project was all not about constructing building, but to provide all required infrastructure for the IT companies,” he said.
