  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.

  • Pattern of International Trade Through West Bengal: Some Evidence from Port-Level Data
    INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT CALCUTTA WORKING PAPER SERIES WPS No. 737/ November 2013 Pattern of International Trade through West Bengal: Some Evidence from Port-Level Data by Parthapratim Pal Assistant Professor, IIM Calcutta, Diamond Harbour Road, Joka P.O., Kolkata 700 104 Pattern of International Trade through West Bengal: Some Evidence from Port-Level Data Parthapratim Pal1 I. Introduction West Bengal has a long international border and it occupies an important strategic location in the eastern part of India. Locational advantages suggest that it should play a crucial role in India’s pursuit for increased trade with other Asian countries. As West Bengal is close to Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand and a number of other East and South East Asian countries, it has the potential to become a gateway for India’s ‘Look East Policy’. State level export data published in the Economic Survey 2011-12 show that by total volume of exports, West Bengal rank 8th among the top 15 exporting states of India in 2010-11 (Table 1). Moreover, by Exports to State Domestic Product (SDP) ratio, West Bengal ranks 15th and 13th respectively in 2009-10 and 2010-11 among the top 15 exporting states of India. Port specific trade data show that relative importance of exports through the ports of West Bengal is declining in India’s total exports. For example, in 2003-04 exports through the ports of West Bengal accounted for more than 6 percent of India’s total exports. But the same share declined to around 3.4 percent in 2009-10 before recovering to just above 4 percent in 2012-13.
