Please refer to the map above for the districts/cities we refer to.
Government has divided the districts into four different categories, based on the level of existing development, infrastructure and the level of infrastructure and development needed in the years to come.
As years go by, if the cities progress, the city moves to upper tiers.
The four tiers are Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3 and Tier-4 cities.
For example, Tier-1 constitutes Chennai. Tier-2 constitutes Coimbatore, Chennai, Trichy etc., Tier-4 constitutes Dindigul.
Coimbatore is a strategic development centre for Cognizant like software companies, similar to the ones we have in Chennai, Kolkata, Pune, Bangalore, Hyderabad and Mumbai. Cognizant is committed to grow the centre, leveraging the rich talent pool of technical professionals in the region.
Coimbatore will soon emerge as a Tier-1 city for IT in one year, based on the growth we are seeing.
It is not only Coimbatore that is on the Tier-2 city map of Tamil Nadu, but also Trichy, Chennai, Salem, Hosur and Tirunelveli.
Other than Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu is trying to develop Tier-2 cities spreading across the entire state; from Chennai at the northern end to Tirunelveli at the southern tip. Sekar Ponniah of Global Software Solutions (TVL) Pvt Ltd started a 100 % Export Oriented Unit located at Tirunelveli in the year 2000.
While we look at the map above, Dindigul, which is a Tier-4 cities, is strategically located between Coimbatore, Karur and Chennai.
Coimbatore, which is currently a Tier-2 might move up to Tier-1 city soon. Chennai, which is Tier-2 city is also improving. Karur is a very well industrialized export unit. Now, Dindigul present in between Chennai, Karur and Coimbatore has lot of advantages in future.
Note down, in your diary - Dindigul will become big someday, considering its georgraphic location.
