HMR to Create Opportunities

The prestigious Hyderabad Metro Rail project is all set to create a variety of jobs and opportunities to both skilled and un-skilled people, including educated youth and small entrepreneurs from the State. With works going on the fast track, the Metro rail authorities exude confidence that the project would create a huge employment along all the metro corridors in the city.

MetroThe highly sophisticated Metro stations would not only be equipped with latest technology for ticketing, travel, security and other purposes but the vicinities of each station would have different look with different street furniture. Out of several proposed elevated stations, works at Nagole Metro station are completed which is equipped with state of the art technologies of monitoring ticket vending, crowd, passage and train operations. 

However, other stations like NGRI, Mettuguda, Habsiguda and others neared completion. Hyderabad Metro Rail managing director N V S Reddy said while providing easy and fast mode of transport to the denizens in the city, the Metro rail would also create huge number of opportunities for both educated and semi educated youth. He said, “While educated youth can be accommodated directly into the operations of Metro rail based on their technical qualifications, chances for entrepreneurs would galore at each railway station.”

Each railway station would have street furniture, sitting space, eateries and vending space useful for the passengers and entrepreneurs, he informed. He said preference would be given to the locals in providing such spaces for business. Hyderabad Metro Rail has already recruited several youth having technical qualifications matching the needs of current functioning at under construction Metro tracks, depots and stations across the city.

So far, no concrete deadline was set up either by the State government or by HMR authorities. However, officials expressed confidence that the Metro rail would start functioning from early next year. N V S Reddy said, “Most probably, we would be able to start function by early next year tentatively. However, no deadline was set up by the government.”
