Adilabad Gets New IT Tower as Government Plans Large Industrial Corridor

Telangana IT and Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu inaugurated a new IT Tower in Adilabad town on Wednesday. The State government aims to turn Adilabad into an IT and industrial hub to create jobs for local youth. The newly opened IT Tower cost around 57.85 crore rupees to build. Its construction had stopped earlier because of a lack of money, but it was finished with help from Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy.

Facilities And Jobs

The building now houses an incubation hub and a training centre run by the Telangana Academy for Skill and Knowledge, known as TASK. Four IT companies have already started working there and are expected to give jobs to about 620 people. This project is part of a wider government plan to grow the IT sector in smaller towns and rural areas instead of only in big cities like Hyderabad.

Industrial Corridor And Airport

The Minister also announced plans for a 3,000-acre industrial corridor in Adilabad. The government will buy 2,000 acres in the first phase and 1,000 acres in the second phase for this project. Work is also going on to speed up the Adilabad Airport Project by finishing land acquisition and getting needed approvals. Furthermore, the government plans to solve technical and policy problems to reopen the closed Cement Corporation of India plant in the town. Local leaders including Adilabad MP Godam Nagesh, MLA Payal Shankar, and Khanapur MLA Vedma Bhojju also spoke at the event.

Context

Expanding technology and manufacturing projects into smaller towns helps create local jobs and reduces the need for young workers to move to big metro cities. State governments in India often use special industrial corridors and regional airports to attract companies and boost economic growth outside major urban centres.
