‘Employment-intensive units
likely to generate 8,000 to 10,000 jobs for the local youth’. The local economy
is all set to get a shot in the arm with the establishment of ancillary units
and supporting facilities here.
A new industrial ecosystem centred on
mobile and electronics industry is shaping up near Tirupati, which is all set
to generate thousands of jobs for the local youth.
‘Sri Venkateswara Mobile and Electronics
Manufacturing Hub’ is the new industrial landmark near Renigunta airport on the
city outskirts, for which Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid the foundation
stone recently.
For the first time in the country, four
Indian mobile manufacturing companies viz., Micromax, Celkon, Karbonn and Lava,
have come forward to set up manufacturing and assembling units in a single
location at the facility spread over 50-60 acres.
“It is a dream come true. The
employment-intensive units are expected to generate 8,000 to 10,000 jobs for
the local youth”, says Chittoor Collector Siddharth Jain.
The local economy is all set to get a
shot in the arm with the establishment of ancillary units and supporting
facilities here.
Chittoor district has already reached out
to the ‘Make in India’ call as reputed companies like Xiaomi, Gionee and
Foxconn have a base in Sri City.
“We will take forward the ‘Make in
Chittoor’ call, as far as electronics industry is concerned”, Mr. Jain adds.
The area is set to gain a lot, as the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT),
Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) and Indian Culinary
Institute are some of the prestigious national institutes coming up in the
vicinity, which help in knowledge sharing and manpower sourcing, thus providing
effective forward and backward linkages.
While tourism, spiritualism and
hospitality are the areas that the temple city currently thrives on, the
arrival of the mobile companies is set to create a new industrial ecosystem and
usher in a refreshingly new form of employment.
