Abstract

Bangalore is the prime IT hub of India. The IT engineers have great propensity to move to the IT city due to career advantages. Many prefer to settle down there partly due to the favourable government policies towards information technology industry. Many skilled migrants after few years of experiences migrate to the Silicon Valley of India from technological hinterlands like Kolkata. Hyderabad has also posed a great challenge after registering 16 per cent growth and adding 15000 employment in FY 2015–16. The paper is about an overview of the governmental policies in West Bengal, Telengana and Karnataka and also the critical analysis of the policy aspects.
