Can we Progress!!! - certainly YES,
From the desk of Moderator
Dear Friends,
Can we Progress!!! - certainly YES, A lot can happen and is really happening,
and the progress is showing up at the recent developments the Hubli-Dharwad is witnessing. The IT Investors Meet is a big step forward to bring the IT/ITES/BPO to the twin cities.
The Group led by Mr.Nagesh Tavarageri and his friends in US are really doing a good job which is a possible step towards bringing the like minded people who are willing to put the branch of their company in the expansion plan.Their online petetion for JNURM was published in all major newspapers which had major impact on the politicians and the people of the region.
This Hubli City Group and The NRIsOfNorthKarnataka group has many of the elite people from this region who really can make difference to the twin cities, for example the entreprenuers like Mr.Gururaj Deshpande,Mr.Anant Koppar,and from educationist like Dr.Ashok Shetter, and the people from beurocracy Mr.P Mannivanna and the chief minister is himself part of the group which he mentioned in his talk at IT Investors meet.
So there is still lot people from this region who hold the key posts in many MNC's throughout the world can make a difference.Today there are CEO's,CTO's,CFO's, and many managerial positions who hail from this region.To quote an example Mr. Nandan Nilekeni,CEO of Infosys hails from dharwad and did his education from Dharwad can be approached also within the company Mrs Sudha Murthy,Chairperson Infosys Foundation also is from Hubli who did studies from BVB Hubli. We need to ask these people to give back something to their place by putting their branch in the twin cities.Certainly I think it is Infosys initiative which gave boost to the IT sector in Mysore and Mangalore and not much to the govt initiatives.
I think the time has arrived for the infrastuture boost for the region and this in turn will bring the IT/ITES/BPO industry to the region and no one can stop from it.The things in the past 1 yr, the twin cities has undergone major transformation in the roads and footpaths and the beautification of the twin cities,this credit should go to the HDMC Commissioner Mr.P.Mannivanna for his tremendous efforts.
Also the Hubli Airport is taking shape for night landing facilities and the Golden Quadrilateral is nearing the finishing stages,this will boost the road ,rail connectivity with major places like Bangalore,Mumbai,Pune and Panaji.
I think all is going well,and if the we the people from this region can take some initiative and make a small contribution towards this will certainly make a big difference in the long run and in the coming days.
A small thought from my side......
I also maintain a blog which gives all the information about the twin cities at http://buzzpappu.blogspot.com
thank you.. Have a great day.
