Thiruvallur has steel industries and associated ancillary industries for Steel production, Salem has Steel factories, Karur has Textile mills, Namakkal has Chicken farms, Thiruppur has Baniyan (Vests and Briefs) factories, Coimbatore has foundry works, cotton mills, Construction industries, underground pipes laying works etc.,

All these industries needs lot of people for work and employment, but the local population is not able to satisfy. hence, lot of outstation out of state citizens of India come to Tamil Nadu and work here.

Given this opportunity there comes the problem of culture shock for the local population. There are lot of crimes and also the local people do not like the way the behaviour and character of the out of state population from east india especially. There are lot of problems reported for the local population and also the out of state folks in terms of their rental stay. The local population gets more rent for these folks, but at the same time they get more problem as well from them.

Government has to regulate this a little bit with accomodation provided by the industries who employ themselves and also when renting get the ID proof from the person lessee who is staying the house owner's house.

NRIs coming back to do farming!

Today I met an NRI who came back to Chennai from US, after completing almost a decade in US. While I was asking him what are his plans here.

He said he has plans to work in a Software Company, as I am and in addition to that do Farming. He has bought lands worth almost Rupees 50 Lakhs and started farming on that. He has his relatives who can do that and also his wife, his dad would take care and this person would shunt between these two cities and take care of the farming as well.
In turn, he would also go full time into farming as well.

Very interesting. All of the NRIs have things in mind to execute new ideas, but most of them are not bold enough to take bold decisions to come back and at the same time to start something of their own and create a new path. But few do that by avoiding any domestic or foreign jobs and start working for themselves.

I hope seeing these pioneers and examples, slowly and gradually many would dare to do the same, who have interest to do the same.

Very well appreciated!!! Farming is a great business and that too places or cities which river belts - Trichy, Tanjore, Kumbakonam etc., So, they have unlimited crops and agriculture done there, so no need worry about water etc., and cultivation like any other places/cities in Tamil nadu.

Big Real Estate Property Developers in Tier-2 Cities of Tamil Nadu - Madurai Trichy Coimbatore

Real estate developers are increasingly exploring Tier II cities where there is a potential demand for quality built-up space. Leading players based in Chennai and national players have announced projects in smaller cities in Tamil Nadu, including Tiruchi, Madurai and Coimbatore.

These are cities that either have a strong industrial base or are tourist hubs attracting regular visitors as there is employment generation and infrastructure growth.

Developments are happening across market segments from the middle income segment to high-end luxury segments, say developers. Coimbatore, particularly with its traditional industrial base, is a focus market for many.

Interest in Coimbatore

Coimbatore has a growing investor base with buyers in neighbouring Palakkad, Tirupur and other towns looking at investing , he says.

According to Mr T. Chitty Babu, Managing Director, Akshaya Homes, the company is planning projects in the luxury segments in these cities with units priced around a couple of crore rupees. The apartment concept is catching on in these cities, but quality supply is yet to meet market demand.

Coimbatore looking forward to become for I tier city from II tier; Software exports jumped; Madurai and Trichy still low in software exports

With education infrastructure and entrepreneurial spirit, the city is all set to become a top destination for IT companies, CTS said.

Residents should have belief that it can be a tier-1 destination for IT firms and work towards that goal, he told the 11th edition of _Connect Coimbatore', the annual IT event organised by CII here on Thursday.

"If Coimbatore aspires to be a tier-1 destination it should behave like a leader," he said. Though it would take five to 10 years to realise the goal, the city should stake its claim now.

Software exports from the city witnessed a 90% growth to Rs 710.66 crore for the year ended March 2010. Tier-2 locations such as Tiruchi and Madurai have clocked `25 crore in exports, state IT secretary PWC Davidar said.

Trichy and Madurai are still behind. They are looking about Rs.25 crores and still in Tier II and III destination cities. But, Coimbatore is thinking about jumping from II tier to I tier. That is a good news for Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu and India. In other hand, we expect Madurai and Trichy also to go up in the ladder soon. Let us do whatever possible for that.

Chennai, Coimbatore, Dindigul and Madurai: Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3 and Tier-4 Cities of tamil nadu

Please refer to the map above for the districts/cities we refer to.

Government has divided the districts into four different categories, based on the level of existing development, infrastructure and the level of infrastructure and development needed in the years to come.

As years go by, if the cities progress, the city moves to upper tiers.
The four tiers are Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities.

For example, Tier-1 constitutes Chennai. Tier-2 constitutes Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy etc., Tier-4 constitutes Dindigul.

Coimbatore is a strategic development centre for Cognizant like software companies, similar to the ones we have in Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Cognizant is committed to grow the centre, leveraging the rich talent pool of technical professionals in the region.

Coimbatore will soon emerge as a Tier-1 city for IT in one year, based on the growth we are seeing.

It is not only Coimbatore that is on the Tier-2 city map of Tamil Nadu, but also Trichy, Madurai, Salem, Hosur and Tirunelveli.

Other than Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu is trying to develop Tier-2 cities spreading across the entire state; from Chennai at the northern end to Tirunelveli at the southern tip. Sekar Ponniah of Global Software Solutions (TVL) Pvt Ltd started a 100 % Export Oriented Unit located at Tirunelveli in the year 2000.

While we look at the map above, Dindigul, which is a Tier-4 cities, is strategically located between Coimbatore, Karur and Madurai.

Coimbatore, which is currently a Tier-2 might move up to Tier-1 city soon. Madurai, which is Tier-2 city is also improving. Karur is a very well industrialized export unit. Now, Dindigul present in between Madurai, Karur and Coimbatore has lot of advantages in future.

Note down, in your diary - Dindigul will become big someday, considering its georgraphic location.
