From the Desk of Director:

When you will get to read the following lines, you will be already in Lockdown 3.0. The fierce battle between the human race and the invisible virus is still going on. On some front we are winning too, but the overall success is still illuding us. The frontline warriors like doctors and allied staff of medical system, the law enforcement staff, the civil servants all around the world are doing their best against all odds staking their lives. The researchers and scientists, biotechnologists are also putting everything at stake to find out the right weapon for this fight which already claimed nearly 2.5 lakhs lives around the world. We are eagerly waiting for the success. Mankind has seen many such battle, but at the end he came out victorius. I strongly believe that history will repeat again. But what next? The big question is what is waiting for us after this catastrophe! The world economy has taken a fatal blow, and the second catastrophe is waiting for us and our next battle will be on economic front. Only one thing can save us from that Catastrophe 2.0, our preparedness.

M/o MSME along with other ministries of GoI are already doing their homework. Some of the measures have already been taken. Many more steps will be taken as per the road map of rescuing the economy in Post Covid situations. The entrepreneurs also need to reorient themselves in this grossly changed scenario. This is needless to say that we are in a very critical situation and we have to pay a heavy cost as already we are paying, but do not think that this is the end of the world. We will fight back hard and in that fight we are standing by you, together we will win the battle. We Must Overcome!

Editorial:

As It is the time for Resurrection, Retrospection and Reorientation of the system. Its the time for enlightment of the philosophy of our life. The dramatic success of the new science in explaining the natural world promotes philosophy from a handmaiden of theology, constrained by its purposes and methods, to an independent force with the power and authority to challenge the old and construct the new. The study of humanity in the Enlightenment typically yields a portrait of us that is the opposite of flattering or elevating. Instead of being represented as occupying a privileged place in nature, humanity is represented typically in the Enlightenment as a fully natural creature, devoid of free will, and of a non-natural faculty of intelligence or reason. While we all are in the process of enlighting our thought process, MSMEs are no exception. As a survival strategy, many MSMEs are switching over to essential commodities, products, machines and services to cope up with present environment.The whole world is impressed with the calmness of Indians, who are not resorting to crazy hoarding of essentials despite a nationwide lockdown. Almost everyone are impressed with the innovative methods used by Indians to follow social distancing. The world is clearly noticing how Indians are utilising their skills of jugaad to solve these tough problems. Indian innovators from all walks of life are also rising to the occasion to help the health sector, with their innovative & affordable solutions. Public participation in is something which has taken everyone by surprise. We advocate Aarogya Setu app. Let’s fight Corona with Aarogya Setu Download.

This is the best time to market MAKE IN INDIA in full blast with financial support expected from the Govt. We should not be hesitant to tie up with any foreign company desirous to share and grow together with latest technology and world class facilities. Safety of employees and customers is becoming a major point of focus. Indian exporters need to build trust. They need live up to promises made. They need to deliver on time and deliver the promised quality. They shouldn’t make incorrect promises just to get more business. And finally , We should remember that in this crisis, there will be winners and there will be losers. Those who re-orient and fix their strategy with new philosophy emerged out to save the humanity will be the winners.

FOCUS DISTRICT – PASCHIM BARDHAMAN

Paschim is a predominantly urban mining-industrial district in West Bengal. The headquarter of the district is . It was formed on 7 April 2017 after bifurcation of the erstwhile Bardhaman district as the 23rd district of West Bengal. The region is believed to have been a part of the kingdom of Vishnupur where the Malla dynasty ruled for approximately a thousand years till the emergence of the British. This theory is backed by the presence of Vishnupur style temple present at Chhotodighari village and Domohani village in Asansol.

Introduction: Paschim Bardhaman District is the 23rd district of West Bengal. It was formed on 7th April, 2017 bifurcating erstwhile Burdwan District. The new district comprises two subdivisions viz. Asansol Sadar and . With the division, the agrarian part of Burdwan now fall under Purba Bardhaman, while the industrial hub in Paschim Bardhaman. Asansol is the divisional as well as District Headquarters. It is the second largest city in West Bengal after Kolkata. With the establishment of some large industrial units like ISSCO, , Chittaranjan Locomotive works, Alloy Steel Plant, Durgapur Thermal Power Station, and hundreds of large, medium and small-scale industries established in Durgapur-Asansol subdivision has made the identity of the District as a major Industrial hub in Eastern India.

There are 16 Police Stations, 8 Development Blocks, 2 Municipal Corporations and 62 Gram Panchayats in this district.

Brief History of Paschim Bardhaman: Microliths found at Birbhanpur, near Durgapur, indicate settlements in the Ajay valley in the Paleolithic/Mesolithic age, around 5,000 BC.

In early historical times Bardhamanbhukti, a part of the , was ruled successively by the Magadhas, Mauryas, Kushanas and Guptas. In the 7th century AD, when was king, the area was part of the Gauda Kingdom. It was ruled by the Palas and Senas, till Bakhtiyar Khilji captured it in 1199 AD. The early Muslim rulers ruled over major parts of Bengal from Gauda or Lakhnauti. In Ain-i-Akbari, Bardhaman is mentioned as a mahal or pargana of Sarcar Sharifabad. The area between the Damodar and the was referred to Gopbhum, where the Sadgope kings ruled. There are remains of the period at Shymarupar Garh and Ichhai Ghosher deul in Kanksa CD Block.

In 1689, Krishnaram Roy, of the family, obtained a farman (royal decree) from by which he was made the (landlord) of Bardhaman, and since then the Raj family's history became identical with that of the district. There are references to the Raja of Panchkot being zamindar of certain sections (mostly the western part) of what later

10 Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: VI, May 2020 became Asansol subdivision. There also are references to the Raja of Searsole being zamindar of the area. After the death of Aurangzeb, the became weak and became the Nawab of Bengal, owning only nominal allegiance to the Mughal emperor. At that time Bardhaman was referred to as chakla, a change from the earlier pargana. Subsequently, during the reign of , the Bargis attacked and plundered Bardhaman.

After the victory of the British in the in 1757, the fertile district of Bardhaman, along with Medinipur and Chittagong, was ceded to the . In 1857, the British Crown took over the administration of the country from the East India Company. In 1765, when East India Company acquired the diwani of Bardhaman, it was composed of Bardhaman, , Hooghly and a third of Birbhum. In 1805, the western parganas of Shergarh and Senpahari (which later formed Asansol subdivision) and parts of Bankura were formed into a new district called Jungle Mahals. Shergarh and Senpahari was restored to Bardhaman, when Bankura was made into a separate district. Hooghly was separated in 1820, Bankura and Birbhum in 1837. At the time of the of Lord Cornwallis in 1793, the chaklas were reduced in size, in order to make them more manageable, and districts were created. Six subdivisions were created in Bardhaman district – Bud Bud in 1846, , Raniganj, Jahanabad (later named Arambagh), and Bardhaman Sadar in 1847 and Kalna in 1850. In 1906, Raniganj subdivision was converted to Asansol subdivision. The parganas were converted to thanas (police stations). At that time there were 22 thanas in Bardhaman district. Later, Jahanabad was transferred out of Bardhaman. Some minor changes went on taking place. Durgapur subdivision was carved out of Asansol subdivision in 1968.

The Permanent Settlement ultimately led to the dismemberment of the Bardhaman estate. As the often failed to pay the rent demands, some parts of the estate were auctioned off. However, there were bright spots even in the later period of the rule of Bardhaman zamindary till abolition of the zamindary system in 1954, after independence of the country.

Asansol-Durgapur Industrial Belt situated in the district of Burdwan is a major industrial hub, not only of West Bengal, but also of the entire country. The existence of vast coal mines in the district has invited a large number of big industrial units of various types, which have consolidated the base for industrial development and made the Asansol – Durgapur zone an industrial complex. The area was aptly nicknamed the Ruhr of Bengal. The vast expanse covering the Rurh of Bengal had been the centre of heavy industrial enterprises. With the passage of time, however

23 Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: VI, May 2020 a lot of factories and units in the Asansol – Durgapur had to be unfortunately closed down and quite a few others are on the verge of closure. Moreover, prior to the decade of 1990, almost all big industries of the region were under Public sector and there was very little presence of the private sector. To give impetus to the cause of industrial infrastructure, Asansol Durgapur Development Authority (ADDA) was set up in the year 1980. Since its formation in 1980, the ADDA has been spearheading the cause of industrial infrastructure within 1615.9 sq. km. of rural and urban area to provide succour to a population of around three million. New initiatives are taking place on IT sector in the region. But there are problems specific to the region and some macro level problems are also troubling the healthy growth of the region.

Govt Clears "Roadblock" To Fast-Track PMEGP Projects; KVIC To Ensure Swift Execution

The pace of employment generation in the country is just going to accelerate. In a significant policy decision, the Ministry of MSME, headed by Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari, has done away with the role of District Level Task Force Committee (DLTFC), headed by the Distt. Collectors, in recommending the proposals under the Prime Minister Employment Generation Program (PMEGP), thereby simplifying the entire procedure.

25 Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: VI, May 2020

As per the amended guidelines, Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC), the nodal agency for implementing PMEGP scheme, after due diligence, will directly clear the proposals/applications of the prospective entrepreneurs and will forward it to the Banks for taking credit decisions. As of now, the proposals were scrutinized by the DLTFC, that often led to inordinate delays in sanctioning of the projects.

Chairman, KVIC, Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena said a major bottleneck has been removed with the discontinuation of the DLTFC in approving the projects under PMEGP. He thanked Union Minister Shri Gadkari for taking swift action in the interest of the country.

The government’s move has come at a time when the employment sector has taken a hit due to nationwide lockdown in the wake of the Corona disease. The amendment in the policy would pave the way for swift implementation of projects and create new employment opportunities in rural and semi urban areas under the PMEGP scheme. A notification in this regard was issued by the Ministry of MSME on April 28, 2020, which said the “the competent authority has decided that the role of the DLTFC as constituted under Clause 11.9 of the Scheme guidelines, may be discontinued for recommendation of proposals/applications to the financing banks.” Significantly, the Ministry has also ordered that “all the PMEGP applications presently pending at DLTFCs level may also be withdrawn by the implementing agencies and forwarded to the banks immediately for taking credit decisions.”

As per the new guidelines, the KVIC after receiving the applications will scrutinize and examine the proposals and the corrected applications will be forwarded to the banks for taking credit decisions. Under the PMEGP scheme, loans up to Rs 25 lakhs are given for manufacturing and service industries, in which 15 to 35% subsidy is provided by the KVIC depending upon the area.

With increased number of applications, the number of projects has seen a steep rise in the number of projects and the amount of subsidy disbursed by the KVIC in last three years. The yearly report is as follows for the performance of the scheme.
