Employment generation for the graduates coming out of colleges needs greater attention, she noted and urged the CII to work towards industrial development in the districts.
There were immense opportunities in agro-processing, cold storage, connectivity, tourism and high-end medical care, the Collector opined.
As Warangal set to emerge as Smart City under a central scheme, the industry should partner with the district administration to work on various Smart City initiatives like heritage tourism, smart roads, system integration, wi-fi across Warangal and other smart linked developmental projects.
With 100 untouched tanks in the districts, water body protection should also be given priority, she added.

The industry players have felt that it is important to have a ‘Dry Port’ in the district to ensure faster movement of goods across the district.
A dedicated Industrial Park for women entrepreneurs to encourage rural women towards successful entrepreneurship should also be set up, they added.
Deloitte Consulting was the knowledge partner to undertake the study. NIT Warangal Director Prof GRC Reddy, the programme convener Prof V Ramaiah, the college director Y Manohar, treasurer P Narayana Reddy, DVLN Somayajulu of NITW have also participated in the discussions.
