Endearingly called the City of Pearls, the charming Hyderabad still exudes a waft of a regal past. One of Nizams and the beautiful maidens, rich and enchanting landmarks, shahi food, expensive jewellery, and warm-hearted people. This city bears a distinct divide of the old and the new.

To an ardent traveler, Hyderabad offers a fascinating panorama of the past, with a richly mixed cultural and historical tradition spanning 400 colorful years. A treat for lovers of history, art, architecture with several ornate tombs, palaces, mosques adorning the old city, the new metropolitan is set to charm with its well-designed and immaculately planned tourist spots, delightful shopping destinations and many hill stations close by.H

The newly formed state of Telangana has already attracted foreign investors as it is now the fast emerging state for new investments for MNCs. And the city of Hyderabad has emerged as a destination for global players viz. Google, Amazon, Uber, Ikea, Micromax, Karbonn and Foxconn. The state IT Minister, Shri K.T. Rama Rao has remarked: ‘We have Facebook’s India operations headquartered in Hyderabad, apart from Microsoft, we already have Amazon, Google and Uber setting up their operations in Hyderabad which is the largest set up outside USA.’

However, Google Inc. will build its biggest campus outside the US, in Hyderabad for an investment of Rs.1, 000 crore. The 2 million square feet facility, the Internet giant’s first company-owned campus in Asia, will house 13,000 employees when it is ready by 2019.

Meanwhile, Telangana IT minister, Shri K.T. Rama Rao who on his official visit to the US, signed the agreement with Google Inc. at its headquarters at Mountain View, California, under which the state government will allocate the company 7.2 acres in Hyderabad’s Gachibowli locality. Google currently operates out of a leased facility in Kondapur locality in the city and employs about 7,000 people. Once the new campus is completed, Google’s Hyderabad headcount will nearly double.

added to say that the Google will develop products in India that have global usage.Mr. Pichai laid out Google’s three-step approach to promote the Internet in India.First, Google aims to give people in India and other developing countries better access to full internet through better connectivity and high-quality software. Second, Google is making Google products work better for Indians. And Google wants to make it easier for Indians to build on top of Google’s global platforms like Android and Chrome to build solutions to local problems.He also pointed out how women are lagging behind in Internet use in India and underlined that it is important that sizeable number of women should have access to Internet.

As stated by Rajan Anandan, Vice President of Google in India and Southeast Asia, Google has been on a long journey in India to build products that connect more people, regardless of cost, connectivity, language, gender, or location.

He was addressing a series of public meetings in Regonda Mandal as part of the party campaign for Warangal Parliament by-election where he explained how the state government tackled the power crisis last year. Efforts are being made to ensure power supply for 12 hours during day time, he said.

Meanwhile, Member of Parliament B. Vinod Kumar campaigning in Raghunathpally Mandal said that the State government is working towards providing farmers round-the-clock electricity soon.

“We are working towards the overall development of the district. We are planning industrial corridor from Hyderabad to Warangal. There will be more jobs for youth of Telangana,” he said.

Mr. Kumar also said that the State Government is working towards providing 24 hours electricity to the farmers. “The government initiated the construction of 6000 MW capacity power plant in Dameracherla village in Nalgonda district with a cost of INR 27,000 crore. This will boost our electricity reserves and we will be able to provide 24-hour electricity to farmers across the State,” he said.
