From the Desk of Director:

Let me first pay our homage to the Martyrs of Pulwama. No amount

of opprobrium of the dastardly and cowardly attack on our soldiers

is enough. The whole nation is mourning under the grief of the loss.

But we should also maintain our integrity and peace in this time of

crisis.

Further, the bells of the General Election are ringing loud day by

day. In this fluid situation, the MSME sector will have to hold their

base firmly and avoid treading in to risky ventures. Government of

India and the O/o DC(MSME) is coming up with new plans and

proposals .The path breaking social security scheme, Pradhan Mantri Shram Yogi

Maan-Dhan (PM-SYM) is one of them to safeguard the interests of the labour force of

the unorganised sector, especially the Micro & Small sector of the industry with pension

after retirement. MSME-DI, Kolkata vowed to propagate the scheme among the

stakeholders. We expect co-operation from all the stakeholders in popularising the

scheme, so that the poor labourers of the MSME Sector may reap the fruits of the

scheme. MSME-DI, Kolkata organised a special meeting with other Central

Government organisations and Industry Associations on 25-02-2019 to explore the ways

to popularize this scheme. This issue of the E-Newsletter of MSME-DI, Kolkata for March,

2018 has elaborated the scheme.

Editorial:

The existence of Indian MSMEs is deep rooted in clusters. It is estimated

that around 63 % or approximately two-third of MSMEs are situated in

various clusters. Evolution of these clusters has helped to reap the

benefits of mutual co-existence. The member entities support each

other in growing together and faster. However, the growth has not

been as high as compared to their potential. The reasons for this

underperformance are many and are often related to lack of

”targeted joint action” and “promotion of passive cooperation among

the enterprises to address issues related to finance, infrastructure,

technology, human resources, market, raw material, etc. Not all clusters have the same or

similar readiness for adopting sustainable production methods. Accordingly selection of

clusters is critical for sustainability linked financing. Bankers need to aware about the factors

that are critical for the offtake of technology and therefore institutional financing.

The Government of West Bengal is supporting more than 430 clusters in the State that include

MSME, Handloom and Khadi clusters. Besides providing need based common facilities to

these clusters, the Department is focusing on skill development and capacity building,

technology support and support for financial and market linkage. You will find some

important information related to MSME cluster in this issue.

We organised Annual cultural event at DI, Kolkata that ended on Republic day. A great

appeal of workplace recreation clubs is that they give staff the opportunity to take part in

activities they might not otherwise have considered, or have found the time to take up.

Clubs can also be an effective motivational tool. reducing employees’ stress levels and

boosting their overall health and wellbeing.

This issue covers East Medinipur district which has an excellent transport and communication

network of national highways and railways. A major existing industrial base at Haldia &

Kolaghat, availability of skilled man power at comparative low rates, abundance of electric

power and a business environment conducive for industrial growth are few plus points for

promotion and development of MSME in this district.

Hope this issue will be a good reading pleasure for you.

An Organisation for the Physically Challenged

SILENCE Regd. Office : 2/1A, Monohar Pukur 2nd Lane, Kolkata - 700 029

Phone No. : +91 33 2474-3761 / 5962

Website : www.silence-india.org

SILENCE, a centre for socio-economic rehabilitation of the deaf and other physically

challenged persons of the society. SILENCE, came into existence in the year 1979. It all

started with a handful of deaf artists with a bit of creative skill-sets and lots of dreams to

achieve an economic and spiritual self-sufficiency. Their dedication and a bold initiative to

create hand-painted greeting cards attracted a group of self-effacing social activists. And

together, they formed a society that got itself registered as an NGO.

In SILENCE, Persons With Disabilities come from all economic sections of the society.

Irrespective of economic classes, deaf/blind/mentally-retarded/orthopedic, (PWDs) have

different problems – but one thing in common, that is, they are severely marginalized in the

mainstream of the society and live with poor status due to lack of economic rehabilitation.

PWD Act (1995) has taken place for the Persons with Disability (PWD) “shall reserve not less

than 3% in all poverty alleviation for the benefit of the PWD” (Chapter VI art. 40).

In spite of the Act, less than 0.02% can avail the

opportunities due to lack of infrastructure essential for

their special education and training facilities. Apart

from that PWDs are attached with the stigma “PWDs

are not pro work culture” thus ‘why invite trouble by

employing them’. In lower economic sector they

remain as unpaid labour, in middle class they survive

doing odd-jobs in their families with no or negligible

allowance but treated as second class citizen. Yes,

there are some charities available for them in form of

grants which is just like few drops in the desert for their economic rehabilitation.

Silence is a small NGO (Society) which rehabilitate PWD socio-economically. The PWDs are

mostly Deaf (Hearing Impaired, HI), in Silence along with few Blind and Mentally Retarded

(MR) and Orthopaedically Handicapped (OH). Silence’s main purpose or objective is to

convert these PWD adult drop outs of poor or no-income to economically self-reliant as far as

possible through:-

1. Skill Development

2. Attune to work culture

3. Placement services.

A huge number of PWDs are found dropout from the

mainstream education due to lack of special

assistance they need to cope up with the general

level of their classes resulting thrown or dropping out

of their schools, majority by 8 to 11 years age. By the time they approach adulthood, they

become wild, frustrated to a point of no return. Mostly their guardians are at a loss when they

SUCCESS STORY

appear Silence for counseling for help as their pupils are functionally uneducated, frustrated,

and angry.

When they are tied in Silence, the guardians are already hopeless about them. Except for

pinching their pocket money from their guardians they have no income, no prestige within

the family, and rank themselves much below to their own siblings. And they appear to be

unemployable by temperament.

In Silence even before any vocational training to be imparted, they need to calm down first

and that happens when they find the other PWDs are working happily within Silence

workshop. At this stage Skill development training is initiated with them. This training is free of

any charges passing from one to three years. Most of the cases they start earning while

learning after completion of first year.

Till they find placement a large section of the PWD trainees are taken within Silence as their

base camp. At present 87 such PWDs are in full time occupation with Silence producing

handicraft items with PF, Gratuity, Pension and other facilities. In addition Silence runs a

subsidized Canteen for midday meal for the PWD stakeholders. When they start earning

money, irrespective of meagerness of the amount, their body language changes radiating

with confidence for such achievement. Henceforth, in every step their advancement brings

dignified satisfaction in them. After this turning point they never look back.

Silence does not run from charity/grants but by selling

the handicraft items which they produce. Most of

the successful trainees (till they get employment) join

Silence workshop and collectively produce different

handicraft items. They take the workshop as their

transition camp before placement. By that time, they

are no more frustrated as they were found before

coming to Silence. There are quite few cases, even

after getting employment outside, they declined to

leave the Workshop as they felt more secured with

prestige than outside. However, they get over with it with time about outer world.

The craft items produced at Silence workshop are sold in the market. 50% are sold in

domestic market and rest is exported. In addition to that Silence trades gift items through its

Gift-shop. This sales turnover meets all expenses Silence incurs for production,

training/placement, and marketing. Silence does not make profit. Whenever there is an

Income over Expenditure, >90% of it is plowed back to the PWD workers and staff in different

blocks e.g. exgracia, producer’s dividend, festival allowance etc. Besides, there is Monthly

Salary, ESI, Staff Benefits,

etc. Out of the profit, only

<5% is kept back as reserve

to meet rainy days. Within it

capacity, Silence organizes

annual educational tour to

different places in India.

The journwy and feat of

Silence is indeed making

loud noise of the success

and showing the PWDs the

way of life with bright light

of examples.

An Engineer left his job to be a successful entrepreneur

HALDIA NIRMAN PROJECT PVT. LTD.

Regd. Office : PLOT NO 108 & 109, JEEBANANANDA NAGAR, BRAJANATH CHAWK, P.O. HALDIA PORT, HALDIA WB 721605

Phone No.: : 8972563131/9434453409

E-mail : [email protected]

Shri Saroj Kr. Bera, passed M-Tech in Mechanical Engg. from KIIT, Bhubaneswar and joined

service in L&T (Jharsugda Project) as Senior Engineer. He passed a blissful life for some years

but could not get job satisfaction. He expressed this to Shri Ananta Kr. Bera, his father, retired

Govt. officer from Port Trust. His father advised him to join in other company but Saroj was

dreaming to start his own business. His father encouraged him with the advice that he

should start only on his own experience and expertise, not influenced by others.

Haldia Nirman Projects Private Limited is a Non-govt company, incorporated on 05 Nov, 2004.

Saroj started his enterprise in a 3.5 acre land owned by his father at Haldia. He received Bank

loan amounting to Rs.3.00 lakhs and started his fabrication unit. HNPPL undertakes civil

construction and structural fabrication such as reservoir construction, civil foundation,

housing, and land development primarily for privates companies.

With his devotion and hard work , he diversified his activities from fabrication to construction.

His customers are Railways, Bridge & Roof, JSW and others. He is engaged to construct

Santragachi Railway Station as Model Station. He is working in Jabalpur Power Plant & Indian

Oil for setting up gas pipe line. He constructed Haldia Medial College Building and many

such projects. Company's authorized capital stands at Rs 50.0 lakhs and has 100.0% paid-up

capital which is Rs 50.0 lakhs.

HNPPL will continue to benefit over the medium term from promoter's extensive industry

experience and moderate order book. The outlook may be revised to 'Positive' if ramp-up of

operations or greater customer diversity strengthens business risk profile or if liquidity improves

through better-than-expected accrual, efficient working capital management, or capital

infusion by the promoter. Conversely, lower-than-expected accrual, stretch in working

capital cycle, or any large debt-funded capital expenditure leading to deterioration in

liquidity may lead to a revision in the outlook to 'Negative'.

With 17 Years in Export This Woman Entrepreneur Has Crafted a Niche

FOLK PRODUCTS AND DESIGN PRIVATE LIMITED

Regd. Office : 1B & C, Maniktala Industrial Estate, Kolkata 700054, West Bengal

Website : www.folkindia.in

Feeling suffocated within the boundaries of traditional educational system, this woman from

Kolkata, was determined in her career choice from the very beginning. Instead of taking the

easy way out, she challenged herself to become an entrepreneur and create a signature

company with a signature line of products. Meet Manjir Chatterjee, the founder director of

Folk, a 100 per cent export-oriented

company from Kolkata, manufacturing

accessories and Feeling suffocated within

the boundaries of traditional educational

system, this woman from Kolkata, was

determined in her career choice from the

very beginning. Instead of taking the easy

way out, she challenged herself to become

an entrepreneur and create a signature

company with a signature line of products.

Meet Manjir Chatterjee, the founder director

of Folk, a 100 per cent export-oriented company from Kolkata, manufacturing accessories

and merchandise for international carmakers VW, Ford and others.

“Folk is an idea, a thought which set me in motion. I conceived Folk simply to make products

I always been looking for but couldn’t find in the marketplace - products which would make

life simpler, clutter free and organised. Creating something very useful, using our vast natural

resources and traditional skill set for a wide range people was the driving force behind my

entrepreneurship initiative. In real terms, using natural material in manufacturing was always

my focus,” informs the entrepreneur who

idolises Ratan Tata and Kiran Mazumdar

Shaw.

Manjir works with traditional artists and

has a comprehensive design, production

and packaging team. With 12 years of

experience in making merchandise for

major global brands, Manjir has been

able to expose and upskill the craftsmen

to global tastes and benchmarks.

“At Folk we believe in the distinctive

ancestral heritage of India which can give rise to a range of exciting products for the world

market. Also as a citizen of a developing nation, I see a larger socio-economic relevance in

my business activities to empower and emancipate a section of the society. 40% of our artists

are women who are actively associated with ideation and product generation process,”

asserts Chatterjee.

“We have tried to build a synergistic and inclusive organization where meritocracy prevails.

Experience is valued and teamwork is encouraged. There are departmental heads of course

which makes the task of delegation easier. But what I have personally tried to ensure is that

all employees have a voice, so that we truly become larger than the sum of our parts. This


7

lends a small organization like ours an incredible capacity of resilience and additional

bandwidth,” shares the 40 year old business woman who believes in smart hard work.

First challenge for Chatterjee was to make people believe that it wasn’t a passing fad for her

and that she was serious about the venture.

“People weren’t very enthused discussing

business with a 23- year old girl, more so as there

weren’t many young woman entrepreneurs at

that time, that too in manufacturing with an

export ambition. My friends and family were my

absolute bedrock allowing me to pursue my

dream. Not coming from a traditional business

family, I think I was extremely lucky to have very

progressive and broadminded upbringing,”

admits Chatterjee who started her journey very

early and thinks it is easier as with age people develop inhibitions and start having larger

responsibilities.

Important landmarks

2003- Graduating from merchant exporter to setting up the factory. It gave the

opportunity to start individual manufacturing

2010- Setting up an office and warehouse in Liverpool, UK

2015- Expansion with more manufacturing space and augmenting capacity.

2016- Start of retail operation.

Manjir Chatterjee sees Indian women making collective contributions in the entrepreneurial

ecosystem of the country not just in terms of quantity but quality as well.merchandise for

international carmakers VW, Ford and others.

Sri Milan Krishna Sahoo, started a rural vermi compost project named as M/S Kiran Bio

Enterprise, at Purushottampur, Patashpur, Purba Medinipur and registered it as MSME in the

year 2008. His Project capacity was 30 tons per month.

He started his business with the technical help of Prof. Jiban Krishna Sarkar of Kalyani

University, Mr. B.C. Ghosh and Mr. Asok Kumar Karan, Soil Scientist both from of IIT, Kharagpur.

His USP was to work with the

environmental wastage from rural

Bengal. In the last 10 years, the

business grew well. The production

capacity enhanced from 30 ton to 90

ton per month. Due to lack of

marketing facility and modern

technology further growth was a big

hindrance. He approached MSME-DI,

Kolkata for technical and financial

assistance. Director along with other

officers visited his site and suggested

changes of his market linkage and

appraised him of modern testing, new

government schemes and other measures of survival.

He is striving to achieve new avenues and never let his dream to grow big ponder over trivial

impediments.

Sri Sahoo is a fighter to challenge the odds in his entrepreneurship career.

5. BEE SME PROGRAMME: The Bureau of Energy Efficiency (BEE), set up under the Energy

Conservation Act, 2oo1, is responsible for formulation of strategies and policies that help

in reducing the energy intensity of the Indian economy. The major focus of BEE in the

industry sector remains large industries that are the major consumers of energy, many of

which fall under the category of “designated consumers”. However, many small-scale

industries are also large consumers of energy. To address this important segment, BEE

has formulated the “BEE-SME Program” that aims to accelerate the adoption of energy

efficient technologies and practices in a few chosen industry clusters through focused

studies, knowledge sharing, preparation of detailed project reports and facilitating in the

process of developing innovative financing mechanisms.

Purba Medinipur is the southernmost district of Medinipur division – one of the five

administrative divisions of West Bengal. The headquarters is in Tamluk. It was formed on 1

January 2002 after the Partition of Medinipur into Purba Medinipur and Paschim

Medinipur which lies at the northern and western border of it. The state of Odisha is at the

southwest border; the Bay of Bengal lies in the south; the Hooghly river and South 24

Parganas district to the east; and Howrah district to the north-east.

Purba Medinipur saw many political movements during the British Raj. A parallel

government named the Tamralipta Jatiya Sarkar was formed during the Quit India Movement

in Tamluk. In 2007, Purba Medinipur witnessed the Nandigram violence, an incident of

police firing that killed 14 farmers.

Introduction: The district of Purba Medinipur is mostly known as the district with the highest

literacy rate. Population wise the 8th largest district of West Bengal, this district, is also known

for its agricultural prosperity and tourist attractions. But it is also home to Haldia, the second

largest port of West Bengal.

Brief History: The history of Purba Medinipur district comprising part of erstwhile Medinipur

district is mostly associated with the ancient port city of Tamralipta or Tamralipti. This ancient

port city Taand kingdom was bounded by the Bay of Bengal in the south, river Rupnarayana

in the east and Subarnarekha in the west. The Rupnarayana is the joint flow of the river

Dwarkeshwar and the river Shilai. The Bay of Bengal and these great rivers and their

numerous branches created a prosperous and easy water navigational system fostering

commerce, culture and early contacts with the people outside the region. At the same time,

these rivers helped to develop the agriculture in this region.

Archaeological remains show continuous

settlement from about 3rd century BC. It

was known as Tramralipti (in the Purans

and the Mahabharata) or Tamralipta (in

Mahabharata) or Tamalika (in historical

documents) or Tamalitti (in foreigners'

descriptions) or Tamoluk (in the British Raj).

It was a seaport, now buried under river

silt. For this reason, Tamluk has many

ponds and

Tamluk was also known as Bhivas (in

religious texts) and Madhya Desh (as the

Middle State of Utkal/Kalinga and Banga).

According to Jain sources, Tamralipti was

the capital of the kingdom of Venga and

was long known as a port.

The Muslim period saw Medinipur forming

the frontier of the kingdom of Orissa

(Odisha). This rule which lasted for four

and half centuries saw complete chaos

and Medinipur was no exception. Being a

frontier tract, Medinipur was the butt of

exposure to constant raids and invasions during that period.

FOCUS DISTRICT – PURBA MEDINIPUR

There was an upsurge of violence during the 17th century and the district saw disturbances

thrice. Murshid Khan, the first appointed Diwan of Bengal and Orissa introduced more

administrative changes in the beginning of the 18th century along with grouping Bengal in 13

large divisions called chaklas. The district incorporated areas which were divided between

Chaklas Hijli (including the Salt Mahals), Hugli and Bardhaman in addition to the Zamindari of

Tamluk. The chaklas were further sub-divided into parganas.

The Jungle Mahal district, constituted in 1805 incorporated Chhatna, Barabhum, Supur,

MSME FACILITATION CENTRE (MFC) & FINANCE CLINIC

The MSME Facilitation Centre (MFG) and the Finance Clinic have been game changers for

the MSMES of Purba Medinipur. The MFC has been a facilitation point for the MSMEs - existing

and proposed alike, for consultations on various Issues. The MFC has not just worked as a

Single Gateway and has also been an avenue for MSMES to access the various facilities the

Government provides through many of its departments.

On the other hand the Finance Clinics have eased the financing worries of the

entrepreneurs. The District Administration from time to time shifts the venue of the Clinic from

DIC to the Collectorate Conference Hall. The concerned ADM chairs the Clinic and that has

a great impact on the interface between the entrepreneur community and the bankers.

There are a number of bright instances of the Finance Clinic playing the role of a catalyst in

the promotion of MSMEs.

MSME-SYNERGY

The MSME-SYNERGY, held for the first time in Haldia, will be a milestone event for the

entrepreneurs of Purba Medinipur. It will provide them the opportunity to realize the amount

of importance the Government of West Bengal attaches to the MSMEs in various districts. This

SYNERGY will enable the MSMEs of Purba Medinipur to successfully tread the high road of

growth and prosperity – for the district as well as for the state.

Cabinet approves continuation of Khadi Gramodyog Vikas Yojana from 2017-18 to 2019-20

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by the Prime Minister Shri Narendra

Modi, has approved the approval to the following:

I. To continue the existing schemes of MPDA, Khadi Grant, ISEC and Village Industry Grant,

all subsumed under 'Khadi and Gramodyog Vikas Yojana' at the total cost of Rs. 2800

crore for the period 2017-18 to 2019-20;

II. To bring in a new component of 'Rozciar Yukt Gaon' to introduce enterprise-based

operation in the Khadi sector and to create employment opportunities for thousands of

new artisans in the current and next financial year (2018-19 and 2019-20).

Rozgar Yukta Gaon (RYG) aims at introducing an 'Enterprise-led Business Model' in place of

'Subsidy-led model' through partnership among 3 stakeholders- KRDP-assisted Khadi

Institution, Artisans and Business Partner. It will be rolled out in 50 Villages by providing 10,000

Charkhas, 2000 looms & 100 warping units to Khadi artisans, and would create direct

employment for 250 Artisans per village. The total Capital Investment per village shall be Rs.72

Lakh as subsidy, and Rs.1.64 Crore in terms of Working Capital from the Business Partner.

NEWS & VIEWS


21

Under the Village Industry verticals, special focus shall be on Agro-based and food

processing (Honey, Palmgur etc.), Handmade Paper and Leather, Pottery and Wellness and

Cosmetics sectors through Product Innovation, Design Development & Product

Diversification. For this initiative, advanced skill development programmes shall be

conducted through existing Centres of Excellence such as CGCRI, CFTRI, IIFPT, CBRTI, KNHPI,

IPRITI etc.

Another intervention is to set up 4 Design Houses across the country to capture regional

variations, to provide access to Khadi Institutions, to evolve modern designs, ethnic wear

etc. with an investment of Rs.5 crore each.

The other key component is to make the 'Production Assistance' competitive and incentive

based. The incentive structure focuses on improving productivity, turnover and quality

assurances, and would be extended on the basis of an objective scorecard. While the Khadi

Institutions would automatically be given the financial assistance of 30%, in order to become

eligible for the additional incentive of 30%, these institutions must strive for efficiency, optimal

utilization of resources, reduction of waste, effective managerial practices etc.

As a part of rationalization exercise, 8 different schemes of Khadi & Village Industries are now

merged under 2 umbrella heads i.e. 'Khadi Vikas Yojana' and 'Gramodyog Vikas Yojana':

I. Khadi Vikas Yojana [Market Promotion & Development Assistance (MPDA), Interest

Subsidy Eligibility Certificate (ISEC), Workshed, Strengthening Weak Infra, Aam Aadmi

Bima Yojana, Khadi Grant and Khadi & VI S&T]

II. Gramodyog Vikas Yojanaa [Village Industries Grant].

the air with feelings of unity and togetherness. Graceful dance performances by the children

of staff members added hue and colour to Symphony. Excellently directed stage shows &

entertaining dramas by staff members spoke volumes of their latent skills and talent.
