Attempts are being made by the government to promote Hubli-Dharwad a Tier II location for IT and ITes companies. NASSCOM, on the other hand, is planning to make graduates in North Karnataka `IT-ready`. The taskforce on IT Workforce Development within Nasscom is ensuring that IT companies come forward and adopt a few colleges in Dharwad.

Nasscom, along with the Department of Technical Education, Government of Karnataka, is organising the first ever ITeS/IT Industry-Academia Meet in Dharwad on the same day where the IT investors meet would take place in Hubli.

On this occasion, Sun Microsystems and MindTree Consulting have come forward to adopt a few colleges in order to equip them on industry requirements.

Several Tier II cities in India are also identified by NASSCOM, where such initiatives would make a huge difference. This is the first time it would take place in Karnataka.
