Real Picture of IT Hubs in Eastern India

                Hello everyone, after a long time breakup I think I must write something on whatever thoughts are wriggling in my mind. I know very well that it could not be changed overnight, but if a little jerk will evolve out of it, it would be really great for us. Yes, I am talking about what is going on in the name of rapid industrialization particularly in eastern indian urban and suburban regions. Anyone who is quite aware of it can easily imagine the bleak picture inside the curtain. There may be several reasons out of which a few ones are vital for this perpetual decline. Firstly, the willingness and cooperative mentality to work is surprisingly missing in ruling as well as opposition parties. Incessant political turbulence is ever-increasing which can easily be witnessed in every day-to-day affairs. Failure to run proper administration and to combat criminal offences is one of the most significant reason for this situation. Interesting fact is that, the investors are now tactfully avoiding Kolkata & its suburban areas and opting Bhubaneswar, Guwahati due to better availability of infrastructural requirements viz. Availability of electricity at cheaper rates, better skilled manpower, better communication system, lack of initiative (collaborative efforts like PPP model (Private-Public Partnership)) from every peer, low pollution-rate (in water, air & others) & of course administrative complication and thereby delaying even of the committed projects.  If everything is being politicized to satiate someones' vested interest then no initiative, no inauguration can make it a change. I think, correctionism is best way to repair all those loopholes. Secondly, topographical location of this region is another major problem to deal with. If you can take a look at Chennai, Kochi, Bangalore, Mumbai, Noida, Hyderabad, Pune, you can easily understand the difference. In Bangalore there are nearly 14-16 IT sectors widely scattered comprising of nearly 3000 companies. But in Kolkata, Durgapur, Siliguri, Haldia as well as other territories in this region, you know very well, how much ! Whenever no. of companies are huge, obviously the opportunities are high which necessarily comes with variation of job profiles, variation of work culture and so on. Only one benefit of this area is low-cost expenses as compared to other regions in India. But there is no want of potential among these students. We just need to make sure that we want the development of our lifestyle as well as our mentality from the bottom of our heart to pave the way to pinnacle and make it happen, not for me, for us ! Thanks.
