God's Own Country — Kerala — is slowly turning into a hub of multinational companies and foreign direct investment. Even as the country reels under the economic slowdown, automobile manufacturing units, IT companies, multinational firms, and manufacturers of consumer goods have started to make inroads into the state, which is also opening up new avenues for generating employment opportunities. In order to cater to these bigwigs and meet their demands for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled workers, the Kerala government is in the process of setting up a first-of-its-kind data bank of work resources, to bring demand and supply on the same platform.
Speaking to mid-day from the Kerala State Secretariat in Thiruvananthapuram, an official attached to Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan said, "Our industrial policies have been quite lucrative as it has attracted global giants to enter into MOUs with the Kerala government for setting up their manufacturing and IT service hubs in the state. In the next couple of months Kerala will transform into a hub of global industries, which will not only generate more job opportunities, but will also place the state on the world map."
The official added, "We have already signed MoUs with global automobile industries like Nissan Motor Company and Toshiba from Japan. Swiss vehicle manufacturing major HESS AG has expressed their interest in the Kerala government's electric vehicle policy and has started operating from their manufacturing units in Thiruvanantapuram."
