Telangana government to set up IT park in Mancherial soon

The State government’s recent move to set up information technology (IT) park in Mancherial town cheered people, in particular, engineering students.

This will change face of the district. Around 2,500 jobs will be created once the facility becomes a reality. Authorities have already prepared proposals to build it at an estimated cost of Rs 20 crore.The IT sector is mostly confined to Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy district. However, the government brought a new IT policy to make Telangana a reliable destination of firms in 2015.

Consequently, tier-II cities such as Warangal and Karimnagar have witnessed arrival of IT firms in the recent times. But, many towns of Telangana failed to attract IT



companies.

Therefore, the government decided to establish IT parks in major towns of Telangana in order to expand IT sector across the State, few days ago. As part of this initiative, Mancherial district headquarters was selected among the four important places for creating such facility in the first phase. Minister for IT, Municipal Administration and Urban Development KT Rama Rao inaugurated first its kind IT Hub in Khammam on June 15.

With the advent of this facility, Mancherial will draw attention of global firms. The town and surroundings localities are likely to witness growth. For instance, real estate sector of the town will boom and hospitality sector will also grow, enabling the government to generate revenue.
