Trichy in Tamilnadu is a district dependent on agriculture. If there is water, in the Cauvery, Trichy will flourish, otherwise people will struggle without water. It was primarily with this that former CM, Kamaraj brought BHEL to Trichy. Around that a lot of small industries were started and many people got job opportunities. But today as BHEL is struggling, the ancillary industries and people too are struggling. Because of lack of water, agriculture is also struggling. This is why people from Trichy are moving to other places like Chennai, Coimbatore and Tirupur seeking employment.
When MGR was CM, he wanted Trichy to be the state capital. That did not happen; Today there is a talk of it being the second capital. In this context, Omega Healthcare is transforming Trichy into a IT capital. This company which provides leading healthcare management outsourcing services has started its fourth office at Trichy.
Omega Healthcare which provides high end services expects to recruit 1,500 people by next year. This company which started only with 30 people in 2011 now has 4,000 employees working in this office.
