Sanand Ford and Tata Cars Manufacturing unit - why not in Madurai, Tuticorin, Tirunelveli, Nagercoil, Kanyakumari, Trichy etc.,

As an Indian I am very happy that Tata (back in 2008) and Ford in July 2011 had decided to choose Gujarat's Sanand for its manufacturing facility. However, from other areas developmental perspective, here are some views -

Chennai is supposed to be the Automobile hub and there is where all the manufacturing units come and settle down. How come it is going to some other state in India? What is Tamil Nadu Government doing in all these? Well, the Government does not have enough time to do such projects proactively, while they are busy fighting between other parties. This is the case all the time.

If Chennai was supposed to be very expensive for such large manufacturing projects, I am sure the Government could have proposed lands in southern districts of Tamil Nadu. This is totally unacceptable. Government cannot just work on the projects which are being approached. The administration should be proactive enough to find out what are the projects coming around and who is looking for lands or projects in India as Foreign Direct Investment.

I take this opportunity that the South Tamil Nadu is completely being ignored and I say this via Madurai247.com and this is totally unacceptable. There is lot of potential to be tapped in Southern Tamil Nadu.

Sanand is nothing but a Municipality and not even a Corporation. Similar Municipalities are available very much in the Southern districts down south to Madurai like Virudhunagar, Kovilpatti, near by Tirunelveli, near by Tutucorin etc.,

I strongly condemn the previous and current Tamil Nadu Governments for loosing the project to some other state for both Tata and Ford projects. Ford's project is a Rs.4000 crores project and gives around 5000 possible jobs. Tata project was also similar to that.

Hope this article is noticed by appropriate government officials or ministries of Tamil nadu.

Note: This article is directed only for Tamil Nadu Government for improving the state and in other hand I am definitely glad for the project deployed in India(it does not matter which state) as an India.
