It is interesting to know that the CM had taken serious view of the current scenario of IT. It is equally important that, along with employees, the companies also should be able to survive the imminent crisis. The professionals like us wish that Govt. take serious view of the challenges faced by the IT companies and provide respite.
The government action is good. The IT companies survival is most important for Kerala as a large number of families are depending on that. If anything happens to IT, where will all our educated professionals can go for a job? CM should take more steps immediately to help the companies who offer many job opportunities.
