From the Desk of Director:
Let me take this opportunity to share a joyous experience as a relief during this
gloomy days of imminent International disaster. We have successfully accomplished
the MEGA TRADE FAIR at Kolkata under BANERGISE initiative.
It was a confluence of MSEs from all over the eastern and north eastern part of India
during 4th to 7th March 2020 at Meghalaya House, Kolkata. Nearly 140 stalls and
pavellions were set up and distributed among the enterprise. Some of the agencies
like MSME-Testing Centre, NSIC, Export Promotion Council for Handicrafts and others
were also present there to build awareness among the MSEs about quality of their
products manufactured and to nurture and facilitate the export potentials of the products for global arena.
Four National Seminars were also been organized during the period of Mega Trade Fair on the focus area of
BANERGISE, namely on Handloom & Handicrafts, Healthcare Sector, Ayurved,Medicinal & Aromatic Plants and
Tourism. Experts of the sectors from the stakeholder agencies, industry professionas interacted with the MSEs
and delegates of the Seminars.
This success of organizing National Level MEGA TRADE FAIR and 4 National Level Seminars could not have been
possible without the whole hearted participation of the MSEs from North-East India, A&N Islandsl and West
Bengal. I am grateful to them. I also extend my gratitude to the dignitaries and guests, especially Shri Biplab Roy
Choudhury, Chairman, WBSIDCL, Sri Shri Palaniappan Mohangandhi, IAS, MD, WBSIDCL, Sri J.P. Tirkey, GM, FIDD,
RBI and Sri Partha Chakraborty, Jt. Director, Directorate of MSME&T, Govt. of WB. My special thank goes to Sri
Ajoy Bandopadhyaya, Ex-Director, MSME-DI, Kolkata, who masterminded the project and its preliminery
execution. And at last but not the least, I must mention about my Team MSME-DI, Kolkata, whose tireless efforts
have resulted in to the success of the event.
We wish to organize programmes of such magnitude regularly in the coming days to boost up the market for
the MSEs, especially in the coming days of stiff challenges. We will be facing lot of hardships in the coming days
as economy is facing a disaster due to Covid19 pandemic around the world. But we must not loose hope. We
shall again rise on our strength and our concerted effort will see a new morning very soon. Do not forget the
phrase “Night is darkest before the dawn”
Stay Safe, Stay Inside!

Editorial:
As the month of February ends, all Govt. Offices become more proactive to ensure
strict compliance of financial rules and procedures as per budget provisions and
sanctions received relating to all Government transactions within the Current
financial year.The Departmental functioning assumed much significance with the
growing need for more financial control over the increasing Government
transactions involving huge public expenditure. MSME-DI is no exception.At
present Accounts Management has become much more demanding task, because
expenditure commitments of Government are growing much faster than its
revenue receipts, resulting in increased pressure on Government Finances, to the
unprecedented levels. Officials at all levels are the vital links in the Government’s delivery systems, and their
efficiency and competence would enhance the Government’s overall performance. While moving firmly in this
direction, the department has sharpened and refined its functioning by improving its systems and
procedures.On account of increase of work due to implementation of several plan schemes & centrally
sponsored schemes etc executive instructions are being issued by the Government from time to time for
implementing such schemes without amending the Rules. Therefore, a stage has been reached, where the work
being turned out or to be attended to by the department is not strictly in accordance with the codal provisions
but based on the executive instructions, Why I am telling all these is just to make you aware of the additional
responsibilities our officers are bearing apart from the developmental work assigned to them. The delay in
publishing this issue relates to this work pressure at this end of FY 2019-20.
Let me quote a few lines from the Book ‘Good Economics for Hard times’ by Nobel laureates Abhijit V. Banerjee
& Esther Duflo which states “the image of the government also affects the honesty of those who want to work
for it.…. Putting too many constraints on government officials and government contracts can discourage talent
when it is most needed…. We have the resources. What we lack are ideas that will help us jump the wall of
disagreement and distrust that divides us. If we can engage the world seriously in this quest, and the best minds
in the world to work with governments and NGOs and others to redesign our social programmes for
effectiveness and political viability, there is a chance history will remember our era with gratitude.” Think of
these beautiful comments and ponder over to make this ecosystem run .We shall come back in the next
financial year with more interesting News for you. Happy reading!

Researchers find a way to 3D print whole objects in seconds:
When you think of 3D printing, you probably imagine a structure being created layer by layer,
from the bottom up. Now, researchers from Switzerland's Ecole polytechnique fédérale de
Lausanne (EPFL) say they have developed a completely new way of creating 3D objects that
offer remarkable resolution "in record time."
How Design Thinking Powers Micro-Entrepreneurs:
Udhyam Learning Foundation, founded by ex-Flipkart CPO, Mekin Maheshwari, is using design
thinking to help micro-entrepreneurs scale and succeed.
The developmental sector is littered with the corpses of failed initiatives, despite the best intentions
and adequate resources. The reason can often be traced to a poor understanding of the end-
user and their needs. Projects falter because they have failed to factor in user context or to
prototype and solicit feedback.

MSME-DI, Kolkata has organized 4 days National Level Mega Trade Fair for Bengal & North Eastern
Region, Sikkim, Andaman & Nicober Islands at Meghalaya House, 10 Russel Street, Kolkata -

Kolkata - the large and vibrant Indian city thrives amid seemingly insurmountable economic,
social, and political problems. Its citizens exhibit a great joie de vivre that is demonstrated in a
penchant for art and culture and a high level of intellectual vitality and political awareness.
Crowds throng to Kolkata’s book fairs, art exhibitions, and concerts, and there is a lively trading
of polemics on walls, which has led to Kolkata being dubbed the “city of posters.”
Introduction: The Capital of West Bengal is Kolkata which is the only cent percent urban district of
West Bengal. Located on the east bank of the Hooghly river, it is the principal commercial, cultural
and educational centre of East India. The Port of Kolkata is India’s oldest operating port as well as
its sole major riverine port. Aged more than 300 years, Kolkata was the Capital of British India till
1911 until it was shifted to Delhi.
It is presumed that the word Kolkata derives from the Bengali term Kôlikata [ˈkɔlikat̪a], the name
of one of three villages that were in existence before the arrival of the British, in the area where
the city eventually was to be established; the other two villages were Sutanuti and Govindapur.
There are several explanations about
the etymology of this name. While the
city’s name has always been
pronounced Kolkata (ˈkolkat ̪a) or
Kôlikata (ˈkɔlikat ̪a) in Bengali, Calcutta
remained the official name until 2001.
Afterwards it was changed to
“Kolkata” in order to match Bengali
pronunciation. As per recorded
historical chronology, it is the sixth
capital or urban centre of the province
of Bengal. The five others being Gour,
Rajmahal, Dhaka, Nadia and
Murshidabad (the seat of the last
Nawabs of Bengal).
Brief History of Kolkata: The place
‘Kolkata’ was first mentioned in the
Ain-E-Akbari, an encyclopedic work
compiled by Abdul Fazal, Prime
Minister of Emperor Akbar. It was a
Khas Mahal or imperial jagir. The
zamindari (land lordship) rights of
Kolkata and the adjoining lands from
Barisha to Halisahar were conferred
upon the Sabarno Roy Chowdhuri
family of Barisha by Mughal Emperor Janhangir. Next, Job Charnock, a Junior Member of the
Council of Kashimbazar, landed probably near today’s Mohantuni’s Ghat (bank), between
Beniatola and Shobhabazar ghats on Sunday 24 August 1690. A tendency has developed to
celebrate this date as the birthday of the city of Kolkata. But, as one can easily understand, it is
not so. A birth of a city cannot be defined by any precise date or by landing of a particular person
on a particular place. Also, there are distinct proofs of human settlements before that date, i.e.
Sunday 24 August 1690, as three villages viz. Sutanuti, Dihi Kalikata and Gobindapur was in
existence. Sutanuti was bounded by the Hooghly river on the west, the Chitpur creek on the north

and the rough line of the present Central Avenue and Lalbazar to the east and south respectively.
Gobindapur was situated further south, is now occupied by Fort William and the Maidan.
Between Sutanuti and Gobindapur was the lesser settlement of Kalikata. Sutanuti was the centre
of a flourishing textile trade and was under the control of the Sheths and Basaks. After the decline
of Satgaon as a port, four families of Basak’s and one of Sheth’s came further downstream in
search of a convenient site for continuation of their trade. They cleared the forest and settled. The
village of Gobindapur on the east bank of Hooghly river has been named so after the Sheth’s
deity Gobindaji. Northward they further proceeded to set up cotton and yarn market named
Sutanuti Hat. Besides meeting the demand of the weavers of nearby Chitpur village they did good
business with the foreign merchants in the shipping season (September to March). Afterwards the
city of Kolkata came into existence by amalgamating Sutanuti, Dihi Kalikata and Gobindapur;
another four settlements were considered part of the original constituents of the city – Chitpur and
Kalighat on the east of river Ganga and Salkia and Betore on the west of river Ganga. To the north
lay another satellite village which was also a textile centre famous for its rumals or handkerchiefs
(from Bafta cloth); first a Portuguese settlement then a Dutch, it is Baranagar.
It is evident from the above history that Kolkata was traditionally a manufacturing and trading
hub. The Sabarno Roy Choudhuris hailed from Halisahar was known as Majumdar in the Mogul
court and while their old generation stick to their birth place, the new generation moved to Barisha
and settled there. Their rise as zamindar was linked with the fall of Pratapaditya, the most powerful
Bhuinya of Bengal. It may be mentioned here that Pratapaditya’s uncle Basanta Roy is credited
with the establishment of the Kali temple at Kalighat. One Lakshmikanta (Ganguli) came to have
contacts with Basanta Roy in connection with the construction of Kali temple at Kalighat and
eventually entered in the service of Pratapaditya.
British came to India primarily for trading purpose but gradually ‘the face of traders’ transformed
to ‘the face of rulers’. This transmission came slowly but steadily between 1698 and 1757. The
dominance of Mughals was gradually weakening in this part of the country. In the
commencement of further deteriorating Mughal Rule the opportunity was taken at it’s full by the
Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: IV, March 2020

foreign traders who came from Portugal, France, England and few other countries. The English
people got trading right of Bengal against a payment of Rs. 3,000/- per annum as a return gift
from the then Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar who was cured of a painful disease by the English
doctor of East India Company. They were allowed to build a fort also which is known in history as
the old Fort William. It was a small triangular shape fort on the site where present General Post
Office, Customs House and Eastern Railway Headquarters stand. Later Subedar Murshid Quli Jafar
Khan of Bengal refused to allow any extra benefits to the English beyond their right to trade and
thus the conflict began. In 1740 Alivardi Khan became the Nawab of Bengal with its capital in
Murshidabad. He was very much disturbed with the Maratha trouble.
Building of strong fortifications by the English and the French was also not to his liking. His grandson
and successor Siraj-ud-doula felt it even more. However, he rightly felt that if he allowed the English
to build strong fortifications within his dominion his de-facto sovereign of the Subah of Bengal
would crumble. Therefore, when the English built additional fort (as a measure against the possible
attack by the French which was then frequent in India, Africa as well as Europe) for which they
sought no permission of Nawab, the enraged Nawab ordered for immediate demolitions. Added
to his fury was the English act of giving protection to the dissidents. Enraged Siraj took over the
English factory in Cossimbazar in the month of June, 1756. After twelve days (16-06-1756) he
reached Kolkata and on 20 June, 1756 he captured the Fort William from the English. The siege of
Kolkata is famous in history for the so-called Black Hole episode. This was the time when the name
of the city was changed to Alinagar and it was left to the charge of Siraj’s lieutenant Manikchand.
The English took refuge in Falta along the downstream of the river Hooghly but didn’t sit idle.
Later that year Robert Clive and Col. Watson arrived from Madras (present Chennai) with force.
On 2nd January, 1757 they recaptured Kolkata and following this they plundered Hooghly. In
March, 1757 Clive and Watson captured the French territory of Chandannagar despite the
protests from the Nawab of Bengal. The situation gradually led to the tragic end at the battle of
Plassey (Palasi), a place 150 km. to the north of Kolkata. It was a saga of bribery, treachery and
manipulation of a bunch of opportunists around Siraj-ud-daula by the English.
During the year 1758, the English purchased fifty-five villages from Nawab Mir Jafar, after the fall
of Nawab Siraj-ud-doula. These fifty-five villages were en-bloc as ‘Dihi Panchannagram’. The
names of these villages are as follows:
(a) Dihi Sinthee : (1) Sinthee (2) Cossipur (3) Paikpara
(b) Dihi Chitpore : (4) Chitpore (5) Tallah (6) Beerpara (7) Kalidaha

In 1765 as per the ‘Treaty of Allahabad’ following the battle of Buxar, East India Company was
appointed imperial tax collector of the Mughal emperor in the province of Bengal, Bihar and
Orissa, while Mughal-appointed Nawabs continued to rule the province. Declared a presidency
city, Calcutta became the headquarters of the East India Company by 1772. In 1793, ruling power
of the Nawabs was abolished and East India Company took complete control of the city and the
province. Richard Wellesley, Governor General of India between 1797 and 1805, was largely
responsible for the development of the city and its public architecture. The city underwent rapid
industrial growth starting in the early 1850s in the field of textile and jute. For purely trading purpose
the British started to concentrate in building up adequate infrastructure which included telegraph
connections and Howrah railway station.
In the 19th century, the Bengal witnessed an increase in its socio-economic-cultural field which is
referred as the Renaissance of Bengal. In 1883, Calcutta was host to the first national conference
of the Indian National Association, the first avowed nationalist organisation in India headed by
Rashtraguru Surendranath Banerjee. Gradually, Calcutta became a centre for revolutionary
organisations associated with the Indian Independence Movement.
In 1905 Calcutta protested the partition of Bengal and boycotted all the British Goods. The
partition of Bengal along communal lines resulted in widespread public agitation and a boycott
of British goods by the Swadeshi movement. These activities, along with the administratively
disadvantageous location of Calcutta on the eastern fringes of India, prompted the British to
move the capital to New Delhi in 1911.
Gradually Calcutta became an important hub for Indian Independence Movement, especially
for the revolutionary parties. During the World War II, the city and its port were bombed several
times by the Japanese between 1942 and 1944. Coinciding with the war, millions starved to death
during the Bengal famine of 1943 due to a combination of military, administrative and natural
factors. Demands for the creation of a Muslim state led in 1946 to an episode of communal
violence that killed over 4,000 people. The partition of India led to further clashes and a
demographic shift – many Muslims left for East Pakistan (present Bangladesh) while hundreds of
thousands of Hindus fled into the city.
A divided India was declared ‘Independent’ on 15th August 1947. The British handed over the
power to the main political party, Indian National Congress. Shri Prafulla Chandra Ghosh took oath
as the first Chief Minister of West Bengal. Kolkata was declared as the Capital of the State whose
main administrative building was and still is the Writers’ Buildings.
During the 1960s and 1970s, severe power shortages, strikes and a violent Marxist Maoist
movement by groups, known as the Naxalites, damaged much of the city’s infrastructure resulting
in economic stagnation. The Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971 led to a massive influx of
thousands of refugees, many of them penny less, that strained Kolkata’s infrastructure. During the
mid-1980s, Mumbai (erstwhile Bombay) overtook Kolkata as India’s most populous city. The city’s
economic recovery gathered momentum after the 1990s, when India began to institute pro-
market reforms. Since 2000, the Information Technology (IT) services sector has revitalised Kolkata’s
stagnant economy though due to scarcity of space, the IT hub were constructed and is still in
function in the neighbouring district of North Twenty-Four Parganas. The city is also experiencing
marked growth in its manufacturing base.

Kolkata’s position as one of India’s preeminent economic centres is rooted in its manufacturing
industries, its financial and trade activities, and its role as a major port; it is also a major centre for
printing, publishing, and newspaper circulation, as well as for recreation and entertainment.
Among the products of Kolkata’s hinterland have been coal, iron, manganese, mica, petroleum,
tea, and jute.
Kolkata is the centre of India’s large jute-processing industry. The jute industry was established in
the 1870s, and mills now extend north and south of the city centre on both banks of the Hugli
River. Engineering constitutes the city’s other major industry. In addition, city factories produce
and distribute a variety of consumer goods—notably foodstuffs, beverages, tobacco, and
textiles—other light manufactures, and chemicals. Leather and Hosiery goods manufacturing
constitutes a large share of Kolkata’s industries.
The Kolkata stock exchange plays an important part in the organized financial market of the
country. Foreign banks also have a significant business base in Kolkata, although the city’s
importance as an international banking centre has declined. In addition, coal mines, jute mills,
and large-scale engineering industries are controlled from offices in the city. State and national
chambers of commerce are based in Kolkata as well.
Kolkata’s industries have been in a general decline since Indian independence in 1947. Major
factors contributing to this decline have been the loss of the eastern part of Bengal at
independence, an overall decline in Kolkata’s industrial productivity, and the lack of industrial
diversification in the city.

Potential for new MSMEs
The primary objective of conducting industrial potentiality survey in a district is to select the
candidate industries. In order to select those industries, factors like infrastructure, market, etc.
have been analysed in the previous Chapters. As already mentioned, the district is devoid of
agriculture and mineral resources, the fish production of the district is negligible. However, the
officer after meeting various promotional agencies like DIC, Bank, KMC, etc. and after examining
the factors required for industrial development has suggested the following demand-based
candidate industries having scope for development in the small-scale sector in the existing
situation.

industrialization. However, the MSE sector still needs support from the Govt. on issues like credit
availability, obtaining fire license, linking of trade license with fire license, rehabilitation of sick
units, etc.
MSME-DI, Kolkata promotes MSEs through its various programmes. For any queries regarding

Credit Rating for MSMEs
RBI has deregulated the interest rate on advances and these interest rates are determined by
banks with the approval of their respective Board of Directors subject to extant guidelines of
RBI. Loans to Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are provided as per the interest rate
structure of the bank. The interest rate is finalized based on various factors which inter-alia
include, cost of funds to the institution, credit rating of the unit, tenure of loan, purpose of loan
etc.
The rating of MSEs under erstwhile Performance & Credit Rating Scheme of the Ministry of Micro,
Small and Medium Enterprises to provide a third-party opinion on their capabilities and
creditworthiness so as to create awareness amongst them about the strengths and weakness
of their existing operations has been discontinued w.e.f December, 2018.
Further, under the Interest Subventions Scheme for Incremental Credit to MSMEs 2018 offers 2%
interest subvention on fresh or incremental loans upto Rs.1 crore to MSMEs.
This information was given by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Micro, Small and Medium
Enterprises in written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on 12th March 2020.
Early Clearance of MSMES’ Bills
To address the issues related to delayed payments of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises
(MSMEs), the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) has taken the following
steps:
i. Micro and Small Enterprises Facilitation Councils (MSEFCs) have been set up in all States/
UTs to resolve the delayed payments cases by way of conciliation and/or arbitration as
per the provisions of the Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006.
ii. Ministry of MSME has launched MSME SAMADHAAN portal to facilitate online registration
of references related to delayed payments.
iii. Companies which get supplies of goods or services from Micro & Small Enterprises and
whose payments to micro and small enterprises exceed 45 days from the date of
acceptance or the date of deemed acceptance of the goods or services have
been required to submit a half yearly return to the Ministry of Corporate Affairs stating
the amount of payments due and the reason of delay. Also, all Companies registered as
per the Companies Act, 2013 with a turnover of more than Rs. 500 crore and all Central
Public Sector Enterprises have been required to get themselves on boarded on the Trade
Receivables Discounting System Platform (TReDS).
The Ministry of MSME has put in place a portal named ‘MSME SAMADHAAN’
(https://samadhaan.msme.gov.in/MyMsme/MSEFC/MSEFC_Welcome.aspx), wherein the MSEs
across the country can register online their cases relating to delayed payments. Such MSEs
can also check the status of their cases on the above portal.

Income Tax Permanent Account Number (PAN) or their loan account should be categorised
as MSME by the concerned bank.

GIG ECONOMY
With disruption ruling the roost, emerging technologies moving ahead in the exponential
mode, automation with learning machines tipped to become co-workers, the utility of the
white-collar workers depends how soon he can reinvent himself for the skills needed for the
day. Undeniably, the old moves in to the new, but this time it is a paradigm shift beyond
imagination. The employment paradigm is thus bound to change in a transformative manner.
Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: IV, March 2020

Though we might not feel it’s creation, its already reaching conspicuous levels. This is the Gig
Economy. It is the economy of the automated age, where technologies and skills will keep
changing on the fly. The term “gig economy” refers to a general workforce environment in
which short-term engagements, temporary contracts and independent contracting is
commonplace. The attitude of the workforce has to change from inward looking to outward
facing. You have to invest in yourself to be relevant.
It’s not that always you will decide to change, the circumstances force you. As per a recent
survey India Inc is getting to like the gig model of collar-collar workforce. Independent talent
workforce as per the projections is likely to reach 15% of the workforce in the next five years.
The nature of hiring is in a state of complete churning. The quality of this workforce seems to be
the biggest attraction. You are not wedded for eternity.
The break up in very interesting. 39% of the freelancers work for large multinational companies
while 15% work for start-ups. In an experience starved economy 79% have more than 10 years
of experience, 33% have over 21 years of experience. 90% of the projects the freelancers
worked were on strategic priority. Winds of change are right here. Professionals and companies
can afford to miss out only on their own peril.
GIG ECONOMY IS THE ECONOMY OF THE EXPONENTIAL AGE.

ANNUAL DAY CELEBRATION
by
MSME-DI, TC & PAO RECREATION CLUB
Like last year, this time MSME-DI, TC & PAO RECREATION CLUB organized the Annual Day
program whose theme being A get together between the office staffs and their family
members, was named SYMPHONY on 1st February 2020 at the MSME-DI Kolkata campus.
Before the Annual Day, several sports events along with a cricket tournament were organized
during the month of January to boost up the morale and the enthusiasm among the staff
members of MSME fraternity. Events like – kicking the ball, shotput, hitting the wicket for both
female and male members and Ludo for female members only, which constituted the sports
event. These events created much funfair and were participated by the staff members with
enthusiasm. But the limelight was stolen by the cricket tournament. Four teams were constituted
among the staff members of DI, TC and PAO. Every team fought tooth and nails to win over
the other but it is praiseworthy that the tournament, though, full of excitement, passed through
a peaceful and amicable environment.
A special mention was due to Shri B P Dasgupta, AD(CNB) as he took part actively in the
tournament although he was about to retire on 31st January 2020. The recreation club
honoured this spirit with the Spirited Veteran’s Award.
The Annual Day started with sports events for the kids. Then, it went on to some events like
musical chair and dart for the ladies. A majority of the female and male members participated
in it with equal excitement. The day took a delightful break for a sumptuous lunch with
traditional Bengali cuisine.
Soon after the lunch all gathered near the beautifully crafted stage for the cultural evening.
Wards of our officers and staffs started their performance and enthralled the audience. The
crowd was eagerly waiting for the main attraction of the evening, that is the performance of
famous folk singer Surajit ! The band ‘Surajit o Bandhura’ mesmerized the audience with their
beautiful rendition of their composition of Bengali Folk. It was a memorable evening! After
Surajit’s performance the remaining programme has continued and then comes the award
distribution ceremony. It is a matter of pure joy that many retired staff also joined us including
our Ex-Director, Shri N.K. Debnath, Shri Ajoy Bandopadhyaya and Founder of Recreation Club,
Shri Manij Saha among others. The evening concluded with the vote of thanks from the
Secretary of the Recreation Club, Sri Subrata Banerjee, who has organized the event with great
success.
As all the good times end, the memorable evening come to an end with a promise of a better
tomorrow.
