Inaugurates & lays foundation stones for ₹900cr worth projects in Warangal, Hanamkonda & Kazipet. BRS govt. synonymous with welfare, KCR to score hattrick at hustings.
Industries and IT Minister K.T. Rama Rao has said the tier-II towns will be the key growth drivers for the nation’s economic development.
Warangal is likely to have high-speed rail connectivity in the next 10 years and set to emerge as a major tech-hub creating vast employment opportunities for local youths, he said while speaking at a function after inaugurating the Global Development Centre of Quadrant Technologies at the IT park in Madikonda here on Friday.
Once the proposed airport at Mamnoor was commissioned, the city would become a most sought-after destination for investments.
A host of factors like the presence of Kakatiya Mega Textile Park in Warangal district, the availability of talent pool and better road and rail connectivity would catapult Warangal as a major tech and business hub on a par with Hyderabad, he remarked.
He suggested that the management of the Quadrant Technologies consider setting up their development centres in various tier-II towns in both Telangana and Andhra Pradesh.
Referring to Bhimavaram and Nellore in Andhra Pradesh, he said, “You may consider these towns and if needed I will speak to Jagananna (Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy) to get a piece of land for the centres.”
He added that irrespective of regions and States, the young talents should be nurtured and promoted to realise the full potential of the human resources for the nation’s development.
