For this reason, the city is the most important industrial, educational, and commercial centre of Western Uttar Pradesh. The city is divided by the river Hindon into two important parts, the western Trans-Hindon and the eastern Cis-Hindon. Ghaziabad is a major education and industrial hub in the country today and attracts migrants from other states and expats from around the world.

Institutions offering skill development and soft skills have proliferated in the recent years and the number of small scale industries has gone beyond 14,000 now. The city's proximity to the buzzing industrial centre of Delhi NCR makes it an ideal residential city for those working in Noida and Delhi as well.
Ghaziabad Ispat Udyog Ltd. is another steel manufacturing company that has delivered consistently over the years and offers promising careers to both young and experienced professionals. Career opportunities in production, design, and management abound in the rising steel sector of Ghaziabad.
The neighbouring town of Modinagar is a busy educational centre as well, with institutions like SRM University, the 60-year old Multanimal Modi Post Graduation College, DJ College of Science and Technology, Dr Ram Manohar Lohia Institute, apart from intermediate colleges for science, commerce, and humanities.
It doesn't end here. The machinery, tools, and non-metallic mineral products sectors, too, create thousands of job opportunities annually in Ghaziabad. The rising working population has created several secondary opportunities for doing business in the city. Urban residential areas of Indirapuram, Raj Nagar, Vaishali and Sahibabad have also created jobs in the retail sector. The city is well connected with the rest of NCR and is set to become an important destination for job seekers from all over the country.
