The following article talks about BHEL's direct campus recruitment from Indian Institutes of Technology, National Institutes of Technology and the Anna University, Chennai. At a time of recession, it is impressive that BHEL can extend this level of growth and provide employment opportunities. The addition of approximately 6500 resources makes a direct contribution to the local economy and the lifestyle as well.
While some Tiruchians could see the glass half empty on IT park delay, Airport expansion delay etc, others could see the glass half full through the value added by BHEL, expanding University and a slower but promising expansion to the Airport as well. The Hindu article provides the details on the institution recruitment topic.

Tiruchi airport to be partially privatised
The Civil Aviation Ministry is planning to partially privatise non-metro airports, according to Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel who visited Chennai on July 5,2009.
Under this arrangement, Airports Authority of India (AAI) officials said other than the terminal buildings, the operational area and the runway, areas including car parking, courier and cargo facilities would be handed over to private companies under Private-Public Partnership arrangements. The AAI would lease the land to the private operator and the operator would pay the AAI a licence fee.

The above is a good news for Trichy since private firms are purely profit oriented and would have committed expectations from Govt. Though this is a very early start for what is to come, the background of the private party taking this opportunity would be a good indicator for the underlying potential of the Trichy airport developments.

News from Hindu.com - IT park site getting ready
Source:
http://www.hindu.com/2008/11/27/stories/2008112757240100.htm
Few lines from the news:
"Nearly eight months after its notification as a Special Economic Zone (SEZ), the Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT) has commenced levelling work on the alienated site of 147 acres (of which 123 acres is SEZ) at Navalpattu for establishing the IT Park.
After the process of levelling and fencing is completed, the next step will be to hand over 10 acres each to Sutherland Global Services and Cognizant Technology Solutions, the first phase allottees.
Simultaneously, tenders will be invited for the laying of internal roads and creation of amenities under public-private partnership mode. During this week, the Government would decide on the allotment to be made to applicants in the second phase, official sources said. "
The ELCOT, it is learnt, is pinning hopes on the district administration for relaying the 120-feet-road that links the IT Park with the Tiruchi-Pudukottai Highway, and is also confident that the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, which has been provided five acres to establish a sub-station, will complete its task simultaneously.
