Kerala's IT Dreams shattered! Smart city Kochi project has died.
So thats it.Kerala again proved that it is as an investor-hostile state and the educated youths of Kerala can again start moving outside Kerala or other countries in search of jobs.
The proposed Smart City was expected to generate direct employment for 80,000 people and provide indirect employment to another 20,000 people.
The 'red tape' development style of Kerala has made the Dubai based Smart City to exit the Kerala project.They insisted on 12 per cent of the land would be given for free for the project. The government could not take a positive step towards that demand and the results was as expected.
V S Achuthanandan had laid the foundation stone of the Smart City project on November 16, 2007.This project would have changed the face of Kerala and aspirations of millions of Malayalis working abroad.Because of the lack sufficient opportunities in Kerala Majority of techies moved to Bangalore or elsewhere.The small companies of Trivandrum Technopark failed to attract techies in terms of Salary and access to global companies.
Many of them hoped to comeback to Kerala once the Smart city become a reality.
Kerala proved it again.Kerala and its corrupt and ant-development political setup again thrashed the dreams of thousands of NRKs as well as the students studying across the engineering colleges of Kerala.
The politicians and their Godfathers in Kerala need trade unions to spread it's wings in software companies thus making the companies to think twice before doing investments in Kerala.
