KTR urges expansion of IT to Tier II cities of Telangana

Hyderabad: The IT and MA&UD minister, KT Rama Rao inaugurated a new office space of L&T Infotech at the L&T Metro Building in Hitec City here on Friday.

The Telangana government has invested heavily in plug and play infrastructure in tier-2 cities such as Warangal, Karimnagar, Nizamabad, Khammam, Mahabubnagar, Nalgonda and “Adilabad, and the companies should expand their operations to the tier-2 cities,” said KTR.

Speaking at the inauguration event, the minister said, “Not all functions need to be done from Hyderabad. There is plenty of work that can be pushed to tier-2 cities. The boys and girls from smaller towns have more fire in their belly. They don’t want to move to Bengaluru or Hyderabad or any other big metros unless there is a compulsive need.”

KTR applauded engineering, degree colleges and the youngsters from tier-2 cities who not just possess more zeal, but also want to prove themselves to the rest of the world. “They should be given opportunities to compete,” KTR urged.
