The member of the chairmen’s council of NASSCOM, Dr Ganesh Natarajan, called on the deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi and the Information Technology secretary, Arun Kumar Singh. In Patna recently.
According to Natarajan majority of the software industry is concentrated in Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and the National Capital Region. So, NASSCOM is looking for second and third tier cities for the development of a concept termed as ‘IT-eco system’. It is basically a skill and infrastructure development plan for software development and financing.
He said that the software industry in India has an export market of $60 billion. But the cost of human skill development and infrastructure development for software industry in metropolitan cities has increased considerably in the past few years.
He said the availability of skilled manpower could augment the arrival of IT, ITES and engineering companies to the state. Speaking on the occasion Suvopriya Mukherjee, general manager, alliances and special projects, Global Talent Track (GTT) Private Limited, said the first step for the development of software industry at any place is the development of a pool of skilled and trained manpower. He said GTT would create an educational framework in Bihar and aspiring students would be trained on vocational skills that would help them get ready for the industry.
