Telangana's Information Technology (IT) Minister KT Rama Rao on Sunday urged the Union government to announce an alternative scheme or initiative for Hyderabad in lieu of the long pending Information Technology and Investment Region (ITIR) which it has scrapped. The ITIR project which was proposed by the then Congress government for the Telangana region has become a point of contention between TRS and BJP in the state.
In a letter to Union Minister for Information Technology Ravi Shankar Prasad, KTR said, It is clear that the Union government is not inclined to continue the ITIR scheme and may consider providing a scheme/initiative in its place to ensure that cities like Hyderabad continue to flourish and provide employment to youngsters.
Cities like Hyderabad are the economic engines that contribute immensely to our country's economy. It is therefore important that such cities should be rewarded by way of new policy initiatives and incentives.
KTR, as Rao is popularly known, wrote that the youth of Telangana are eagerly waiting for new employment opportunities that could be created with the support of the Union government in the IT sector. KTR recalled that the state government made numerous appeals during the past six years to sanction funds for ITIR but unfortunately there was no response whatsoever from the Union government.
