Needs of Tiruchirappalli (Trichy), TamilNadu to make as a world class city by creating SEZ, jobs, central location of Trichy in TamilNadu if developed will boost 10 districts surrounding it and in future TN and India GDP, New railway line from Thanjavur- Pattukottai via orathanadu, New port at Adirampattinam, Thanjavur district, TN for ship building and port & refuelling along with Sethusamudram

Tiruchirappalli is a major city in TamilNadu which is primarily a job creator by Railways as it has its key Golden Rock workshop there, BHEL nearby. Most of the jobs generated are focussed on these 2 govt agencies Railways, BHEL, Ordinance Factory, etc,. Since British understood the major capabilities of Trichy as it is poised as central location and calm nature of people here and strong ambitions & willpower to achieve tasks
If Central Govt on partnership with State govt or independently identify land for developing SEZ it will benefit several districts near Trichy like Thanjavur, Madurai, Thiruvarur, etc,. Trichy is in a central position there is lot of land available as barren lands at places and can be used to develop SEZ of large dimensions for manufacturing, electrical components, Solar powered plant, IT SEZ for start-ups as most of the companies have employees from Trichy and neighbouring districts only.  Hence IT SEZ comes up in Trichy it will benefit many and it will lead to concentration and developed as a world class city as it has an international airport and lot of skilled manpower in nearby area. Power sources are available and the extreme hot climate of Trichy most of the times can be used to generate electricity from solar powered plants, etc,. Most of them in this area tend to go abroad as there is lack of job openings and state govt and industries have focussed on Chennai only. Chennai cant take the load anymore and it is better to have job openings for youth and lot of engineering colleges and diploma colleges here
IT/Electronics/BPO/Embedded/Robotics/AI/R&D/Start-up’s/Manufacturing/Textile/Handicrafts SEZ with at least 250 acres need to be identified at Trichy, Thiruverumbur, Thanjavur – Trichy - Madurai highway combined as cluster to create IT jobs for large section of youth, core engineering jobs like electronics, embedded can extract knowledge of youth here, mini manufacturing plants for producing small size components of radar, defence needs, defence manufacturing, guns, railway equipment. The BIM famous MBA institute and NIT Trichy must be asked to conceive concept paper on what facilities needed to make a world class city without foreign funds dependency. If necessary UK can be asked for concept paper and funding as it was during British period that the railways boomed in this region. Start-up culture can be promoted to bring back NRI to invest back here. The presence of international airport makes Trichy an international hub and can be developed similar to Hong Kong.
State govt can help with identifying land if done this area will boost GDP significantly and many youth who are jobless can be given an opportunity. Govt agencies can also setup base in these SEZ to give employment, major car manufacturers can also be asked to make auto components/ancillaries here. Since Israel is strong in agriculture their technology transfer programme can also be started here.
Creating a new railway line already surveyed by Railway from Thanjavur – Pattukottai via orathanadu may be considered enable many to travel with ease from Trichy and other parts of neighbouring districts. Railway board approved survey in 2012 but work yet to start. Please consider approving project for track laying a demand of this region for several decades and consider for new survey Vedaranyam – historic place where salt march took place parallel to Dandi March by C. Rajagopalachari India’s first Governor General. Hence new route of Thanjavur- Orathanadu – Pattukottai- Adiramapattinam - Vedaranyam of 125 kms for benefit of public, farmers and students. Kodikkarai an important wildlife sanctuary will also attract visitors and boost economy of region which has been backward for several decades as farming has been affected due to non availability of water in Cauvery and not reaching far off regions.
Adirampattinam in Thanjavur district which was a major port in British period has been ignored as it is close to Singapore, Srilanka and Malaysia. Please consider giving to private or joint PPP model of govt and private to build ships or ports and mainly after completion or hallway through Sethusamudram Shipping Canal Project
