in the southern districts and provide direct and indirect employment to over

SIPCOT’s initiative to open the
future mobility park at Shoolagiri in Krishnagiri district, the first of its

while waterbodies within and around them would be developed at a cost of Rs 1
billion. Hostels for women would be constructed at the SIPCOT Industrial Parks
at Siruseri and Bargur at a cost of Rs 700 million to help about 1,000 women
workers get accommodation on nominal charges, he said.
