Tamil Nadu’s Minister for Information Technology and Digital Services, Dr Palanivel Thiaga Rajan (PTR), who led a delegation to Telangana, said that they will implement Telangana’s IT policies and strategies in his State. He led a team which is on a three-day visit to Telangana to study the robust IT sector here.
PTR and his team met IT and Industries Minister KT Rama Rao at the Secretariat on Thursday. On the second day of the visit on Friday, they visited Telangana’s innovation ecosystem which includes the T-Works, the T-Hub, the WE Hub and the T-Fiber office in Gachibowli. Later, they met with the stakeholders in the IT sector, at the Tech Mahindra campus in Hyderabad. IT Department officials explained to him the initiatives of the TS government. Thiaga Rajan said that Telangana has achieved remarkable development under the leadership of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao and that Hyderabad has accomplished robust growth in the IT sector.
He said that although Tamil Nadu was supposed to be on par with Hyderabad and Bengaluru, the desired growth could be not achieved in the IT sector due to earlier governments.
PTR, who recently took charge as the IT Minister of Tamil Nadu, said that he visited Hyderabad to learn the policies and initiatives of the TS government which will benefit the people of his State.
He said that the IT sector in Hyderabad had made rapid growth in the last nine years.
“We will adopt the IT policy of the Telangana government. KTR explained to us his policies and programmes which facilitated the growth of a robust IT sector and allied industries. This visit will help me to formulate our government’s policy,” he said.
