After reminiscing on his fruitful personal association with Bangalore, President A P J Abdul Kalam on Sunday dissected the potential which the City held for the future. He, however, also stressed on the need for uniform distribution of employment potential in the State. “Presently, Karnataka is exporting around Rs 27,600 crore worth of IT, IT Enabled Services and BPO. It provides an employment for around 3,00,000 persons. About 56 per cent of the total BPO investment in the country is in Bangalore. With the improved infrastructure in Bangalore and in the Tier-II cities in Karnataka, it is possible to attract 40 per cent of the BPO and call centres to the Tier-II cities which will reduce density of the population, transportation and also increase the distributed employment potential across the State uniformly,” he said.
