Major Schemes in MSME Sector 60 Annexure I : List of State Promotional Agencies 72 Annexure II : List of Associations in West Bengal 80 STATE INDUSTRIAL PROFILE OF WEST BENGAL 2018-19 F O R E W O R D It may not be a hyperbole if it is said that West Bengal has returned to the growth path. Amidst several financial and fiscal problems, West Bengal’s economy is doing well since 2015-16, even in the absence of big-ticket investments. In 2015-’16, for example, as the Indian economy grew by 7.3%, West Bengal’s economy grew by 12.02%. Between 2012 and 2015, West Bengal was the third-fastest growing big state in the country. The growth was driven by the agricultural sector, the state’s largest employer. In 2015-’16, the agriculture sector grew by 5.55% in West Bengal as against 1.1% nationally. The state has also achieved success with Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises; it boasts the largest number of such enterprises in the country and recorded the highest bank credit flow to the sector in the past five years. West Bengal, India’s sixth largest state in terms of economic size, had a Gross State Domestic Product (GSDP) of US$ 158.40 billion in 2017-18. The state’s GSDP grew at a CAGR of 11.88 per cent from 2011-12 to 2017-18. MSME sector is the main engine of this growth story. The number of Unincorporated Non-Agricultural Enterprises (Excluding Construction) in West Bengal as per NSS 73rd round (July 2015- June 2016) is the second highest number in the country with 88,68,455. Bengal accounted for 13.99% of micro, small and medium enterprises, which is just behind UP with 14.2% at the top 10 states of the country. The State Industrial Profile of West Bengal, thus, mainly focuses upon the status and prospects of micro, small and medium enterprises in the State vis-à-vis the availability of infrastructural facilities. Further, DC (MSME) Schemes & Incentives, State Incentive Policy, Present Industrial Structure, Thrust areas, Future prospects, etc. have also been thoroughly revised in the perspective of present requirement. Needless to mention that, the co-operation extended by various State & Central Govt. offices especially Directorate of MSME, Export Promotional Agencies, WBSEDCL, WBSIDC, Bureau of Applied Economic & Statistics, DGCI&S, State Planning Board, etc. and overall the latest Economic Reviews published by Govt. of West Bengal made our task unconstrained and smoother. I take this opportunity to thank all those officers who extended their co-operation towards completion of the Profile. I believe that the present Profile prepared by the Economic Investigation Division of the Institute under overall guidance of Shri D. Mitra, Deputy Director, will be of great use to the prospective entrepreneurs, promotional agencies, consultants, policy makers, NGOs and all others involved in the promotion and development of the MSME sector. 29th March, 2019 (A.

  • It Is Well Known That After Independence, West Bengal Has Been Lagging Increasingly Behind Many Other States of India in the Field of Industrial Production
    The Political Economy of Decline of Industry in West Bengal: Experiences of a Marxist State Within a Mixed Economy Subhash C. Ray University of Connecticut Working Paper 2011-10 May 2011 THE POLITICAL ECONOMY OF DECLINE OF INDUSTRY IN WEST BENGAL: EXPERIENCES OF A MARXIST STATE WITHIN A MIXED ECONOMY Subhash C Ray Department of Economics University of Connecticut Storrs CT 06269 USA [email protected] Over more than six decades following Independence, industry in West Bengal has steadily gone downhill. Usually the Left Front government effectively controlled by the Marxist Communist Party (CPM), that has ruled the state for the past 34 years until its recent defeat in the state assembly elections, is held responsible for the plight of industry in the state. The party and its followers, on the other hand, blame denial of the due share of the state in the central resources by a hostile government at the center for industrial retardation. This paper takes a close look at the available statistical evidence to argue that the main reason for the decline is a direct outcome of poor work culture, political interference, and failure of governance that has resulted in industrial anarchy that scares off private investment in the state. While the Left Front has its share of responsibility, the newly anointed Chief Minister of the State, Mamata Banerjee, has herself contributed generously to fostering and cultivating this chaos by calling wildcat general strikes in her erstwhile role as the ‘one person opposition party’. The only thing that can revive industry in West Bengal is liberating civil administration from the grip of political party bosses.

  • The Crafts Council of India “
    THE CRAFTS COUNCIL OF INDIA “...ng tnty rss n tr cr...” February 2018 An Exhibition in Calcutta 1922: Moorings of Indian Craft and Design Ahk Ch j The Crafts Councils and their colleagues have had such a tumultuous year of assault on artisans: first the impact of demonetization at a season that should provide peak earnings through craft sales, and then less than a year later with the organized chaos of GST, again at a time that has devastated artisans’ earnings. CCI has been in the forefront of working with partners and with authorities to find more humane and practical ways to ‘mainstream’ Indian craft, and to create a realization at the highest levels of policy-making that it is not artisans who need mainstreaming. Artisans in their millions, along with others still delegated to the humiliating category of ‘informal, unorganized sectors’, are the mainstream. These citizens constitute by far the bulk of India’s economic activity. It is the so-called formal sectors and decision-makers that are in dire need of being mainstreamed into an Indian reality. In the midst of our efforts at lifting the quality of sector data and advocating a GST interim period of review and capacity- building, some of us have also been trying to put together the proceedings of the 2016 CCI seminar on the craft legacy of Rabindranath Tagore. A century ago his efforts at Santiniketan encountered huge challenges of ignorance and disrespect for artisans and their heritage, at a time when enlightened souls in the West were attempting to humanize the industrial revolution through a revival of craft cultures.

    This page intentionally left blank The Spoils of Partition The partition of India in 1947 was a seminal event of the twentieth century. Much has been written about the Punjab and the creation of West Pakistan; by contrast, little is known about the partition of Bengal. This remarkable book by an acknowledged expert on the subject assesses partition’s huge social, economic and political consequences. Using previously unexplored sources, the book shows how and why the borders were redrawn, as well as how the creation of new nation states led to unprecedented upheavals, massive shifts in population and wholly unexpected transformations of the political landscape in both Bengal and India. The book also reveals how the spoils of partition, which the Congress in Bengal had expected from the new boundaries, were squan- dered over the twenty years which followed. This is an original and challenging work with findings that change our understanding of parti- tion and its consequences for the history of the sub-continent. JOYA CHATTERJI, until recently Reader in International History at the London School of Economics, is Lecturer in the History of Modern South Asia at Cambridge, Fellow of Trinity College, and Visiting Fellow at the LSE. She is the author of Bengal Divided: Hindu Communalism and Partition (1994). Cambridge Studies in Indian History and Society 15 Editorial board C. A.

Investment in transport infrastructure projects involves a wide range of direct and indirect effects, out of which the present research work aims to highlight spatial network analysis and influence of road network in urban development. Materials and Methods: Spread and diameter of road network have been evaluated for five community development (C.D.) blocks representative from North, South, East, West and central part of North Twenty Four Parganas district respectively considered as study area on the basis of major roads. Space-potential map has been constructed on the basis of space-potential values derived at 12 urban centres throughout the district to assess the extent of regional accessibility. Again, it is of prime concern that the benefits of socio-economic facilities are not uniformly distributed over the study area and therefore categorical classification of two samples villages from each of the five C.D.
