The ailing IT sector in Puducherry

Updated - 3/9/2010 - thehindu.com.

 

Though the demand for engineering courses in the IT stream has seen a minor dip in Puducherry over the years, the sector still attracts a huge number of applications and such courses are offered in every engineering college in the Union Territory (UT). But what is worrying some experts is the lack of corresponding growth in job opportunities and definitive policies by the government to attract big players in the IT sector to set up their shops in the region.

According to V. Prithviraj, the principal of Pondicherry Engineering College (PEC), though the UT was touted to become the hardware capital of India in the late 1990s, lack of sustained efforts to promote the sector saw the big companies leaving the UT and opting for other places such as Chennai where they were offered better incentives.

The number of students who get IT jobs, especially in the software front, has been bare minimum in the last few years. "Hardly a dozen get good IT jobs here. Most such students are either working in the BPO centres or are forced to leave Puducherry to find better jobs," says Mr. Prithviraj.
