ELCOT has sought another 120 acres of land for the IT Park in addition to the 165 acres allotted at Navalpattu in the city. “We have planned to acquire lands contiguous to the existing site,” he said. ELCOT would launch a human resources campaign, Empower IT, in Madurai, Tiruchi and Salem between October and December. The two-day campaign in each city was aimed at helping IT companies tap the local human resource potential and giving an exposure to the students.

As per NASSCOM, Trichy comes as a CHALLENGER and very close to Coimbatore in terms of Attractiveness. The parameters to measure the competency of these cities were
Knowledge pool and skill-set availability
Infrastructure
Social and Living environment
Enabling business environment
Government support
Operating cost

In general, with growing offshore work and increasing pool of graduates from college, the entire Tamil Nadu is poised to boom. The upcoming nuclear deal can only enhance the macroeconomic appetite. Trichy, sure will be a front runner in these developments.
