Lack of night-life facilities such as pubs are being pointed out as a drawback by IT companies who wish to set up shop in the State, according to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
The State Government will look into the matter once the COVID-19 scare is over, he said, replying to questions in the State Legislative Assembly.
Representatives of IT firms who draw up feasibility reports mention the absence of pubs and similar infrastructure as drawbacks. Also, the younger generation employed in the IT sector desire facilities available in IT hubs elsewhere in Kerala also, he said.

The draft policy for “Responsible Digital Use Among Students”, released on Monday by the Department of Health and Family Welfare, has recommended that parents set structured routines with clear screen-time rules and prioritise privacy, safety, and open conversation with children on digital well-being.
