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 India 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.

Paschim Bardhaman district is a predominantly urban mining-industrial district in West Bengal. The
headquarter of the district is Asansol. 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 Durgapur. 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, Durgapur
Steel Plant, 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 Rarh region, was ruled successively by
the Magadhas, Mauryas, Kushanas and Guptas. In the 7th century AD, when Shashanka 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 Ajay river 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, Raja Krishnaram Roy, of the Bardhaman Raj family, obtained a farman (royal decree)
from Aurangzeb by which he was made the zamindar (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
FOCUS DISTRICT – PASCHIM BARDHAMAN
Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: VI, May 2020
11
became Asansol subdivision. There also are references to the Raja of Searsole being zamindar
of the Raniganj area.
After the death of Aurangzeb, the Mughal Empire became weak and Murshid Quli Khan
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 Alivardi Khan, the Bargis attacked and plundered
Bardhaman.
After the victory of the British in the Battle of Plassey in 1757, the fertile district of Bardhaman,
along with Medinipur and Chittagong, was ceded to the East India Company. 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, Bankura, 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 Permanent Settlement 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, Katwa,
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 rajas 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.
Bardhaman district was bifurcated into two districts, Purba Bardhaman and Paschim
Bardhaman, on 7 April 2017.
Location & Geographical Area: Erstwhile Burdwan district stretched from the river Bhagirathi in
the east to the state Jharkhand on the west. Western most Subdivision was Asansol; the next
one on the eastern side of it was Durgapur subdivision. Paschim Bardhaman District is formed
with these two western subdivisions of Erstwhile Burdwan district.
It is bordered by Dumka district of Jharkhand and Birbhum district of West Bengal in the north;
East Burdwan district is in the east. To the south, across the Damodar river are the Purulia and
Bankura districts while Dhanbad district of Jharkhand lies on the western side. Two mighty rivers
-the Ajay and the Damodar, flows more or less, along the northern and southern boundary of
the district. Total geographical area of the district is 1603.17 square kms.
Topography: Paschim Bardhaman district is a sort of an extension of the Chota Nagpur Plateau.
It is a transitional zone between the Chota Nagpur Plateau, which constitutes a portion of
peninsular shield in the west, and Ganga-Brahamaputra alluvial plain in the north and east. The
rocky undulating topography with laterite soil is found in the western part of the district, which
extends to the western part of Durgapur subdivision; barren, rocky and rolling laterite soil rising
into rocky hillocks. The eastern part of the district gradually slopes down to the rice plains of
Bengal.
Availability of Minerals: Paschim Bardhaman district is one of the premier districts in India in
value of minerals. The Raniganj coalfield was the birthplace of the Indian coal industry. Asansol
sub-division of this district lies over a huge coal reserve, containing the best type of non-coking
Udyami Bangla 2nd Year, Vol: VI, May 2020
12
coal reserves in the country. Mining activity started in this region as early as 1774, but systematic
extraction started in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Initially known as 'Raniganj Coalfield', a vast number of private collieries extracted coal from
this reserve until all of non-coking coal mines were nationalized in 1975 and renamed as 'Eastern
Coalfields Limited (ECL). Raniganj Coalfield has the second highest coal reserve in India, after
Talcher reserve.
Another important mineral resource found in this area is China clay, which is mainly found in
Asansol-Raniganj area. Mica is found and mined in some parts of Asansol area. Coarse-grained
soft stones are found in Durgapur sub-division and they are utilized for manufacturing bricks
and tiles. A good deposit of fire clay has also been found in the area. Besides, few other
important minerals are found in the district like iron-ore, calcium carbonate, abrasives, silica
bricks, Molding sand, glass sand, building materials, manganese, bauxite, laterite, rock
phosphate, quartz & feldspar, limestone etc.

SOURCE:- Publication of Directorate of Mines & Minerals, Govt. of West Bengal
Forest: Until the middle of 19th century, this region was unmarked from any considerable
development due to its infertile reddish lateritic soil with deep and wild impassable forests. The
discovery of coal in the 18th century led to industrialization of the western part of the
subdivision. Most of the forests in the western part of the subdivision have been cleared but in
the eastern part, some are still existing in Kanksa and its adjoining Faridpur Ukhra area. Kanksa
Block accounts for 67.20% of the total notified forest area of the district and divided in to 5
forest Beats. The forests of Paschim Bardhaman district mainly comprise Sal and Kend trees.
Besides Mohua, Palas, Simul, Neem, Shireesha, Arjun and Ashan are also available. The main
forest products are timber, Kendu leaves and fuel. The aggregate forest area of Paschim
Bardhaman is 43455.73 acre including plantation; notified forest area is 24878.04 acre.

Industrial Scenario of the Paschim Bardhaman District
The most industrialized zone of the state comprises areas under Asansol Subdivision and
Durgapur Subdivision. The various five-year plans created the new industrial areas of Durgapur
and Chittranjan, adding to the urban centers of the region, such as Asonsol, Kulti, Burnpur and
Raniganj. The traditional industrial base of the region chiefly supported by coal, iron and steel
has undergone a rapid diversification and new industrial ventures which include mainly heady
engineering, fertilizers and coal-based chemicals, are now making a dominant of the water
resources of the Damodar and a sustained programme of hydro-electric and coal-based
thermal power generation modernization by providing the infrastructure for the region’s
growth.
Between 1955 and 1965 a series of large and medium industries came into existence in
Durgapur. A number of small industries also grew up to service these bigger industries and small
industries. The principal industries beside Durgapur Steel Plant and Durgapur Project are
production of cement making machinery, boilers, pressure vessels, etc. Alloy Steel Plant
producing a variety of alloy steels, Durgapur Chemicals Limited, production basic organic and
inorganic heavy chemicals, Durgapur Thermal Power Station, Mining & Allied Machinery
Corporation production coal mining, bulk handling equipments and other heavy machinery.

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

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.

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.

role in converting COVID-19 Pandemic into an opportunity

In the same series, he interacted with Indian overseas students in various countries like UK,
Canada, Singapore, other European Countries and Australia under the theme Indian
Response to Global Pandemic: Roadmap for India. Addressing the students, he said, the way
ahead for India is clearly in us remaining positive and making concerted efforts to convert this
adversity into an opportunity. At the same time, as we are moving ahead restarting various
activities, all of us need to follow all the precautions regarding health protocols to prevent
transmission of COVID-19 virus. Our industries – big, medium, small or micro will also have to
effect a paradigm shift in the way they were doing their business operations wherein apart
from ensuring use of masks, sanitisers and social distancing and making food-shelters
arrangements for labour in keeping with social distancing norms, they need to take up
boosting import substitution, start business and industries in new areas away from major cities
thus decongest the metro towns. Companies need to look for new partnerships with global
firms attracting them to set up for JVs etc in India, he added. Shri Gadkari stated, that our
efforts need to meet not only Indian demand but also cater to the global market as many
companies and counties are looking to shift away from China. He called upon the young
Indian students studying abroad to contribute in this goal in a big way as youth have stakes in
India thriving and leading the world.

that he has plans for setting up 2000 Bus ports in the country.

70% of the moisture content inside, while providing
an easy passage for the air to pass through,
hence proving to be the best easily available,
pocket friendly alternative Face Masks.
Shri Saxena further said, “These masks are more
special because they are made of hand spun
hand-woven khadi fabric which is breathable, can
easily be reused, washable and biodegradable.”
Currently, the Khadi Stitching Center at Nagrotta

Extension of time in filing ESI contribution
As a relief measure, the period for filing ESI contribution for the month of February and March
was earlier extended to 15th April and 15th May, respectively. Now, considering the hardship
being faced by employers, the period for filing ESI contribution for the month of February has
been further extended from earlier extended period i. e. 15th April to 15th May, 2020. No
penalty or interest or damage will be levied on establishments during the extended period.
Besides these, following relief measures have been undertaken for Insured Persons and
Beneficiaries:
1. In order to ease hardship of ESI Beneficiaries, purchase of medicines by ESI beneficiaries
from private chemists during the lockdown period and its subsequent reimbursement by
ESIC has been permitted.
2. A provision has also been made for providing medical services to Insured Persons (IPs) and
beneficiaries from Tie-up Hospitals, if an ESIC Hospital is declared as a dedicated Covid-
19 Hospital to cater exclusively to Corona suspected/confirmed cases. ESI beneficiaries
can be referred to tie-up Hospitals for providing prescribed secondary/SST
consultation/admission/ investigation, during the period for which concerned ESIC
Hospital functions as dedicated Covid-19 Hospital. ESI Beneficiary may also seek
Emergency/non- Emergency medical treatment from tie-up hospital directly without
referral letter, in accordance with his entitlement.
3. Medical Benefit is provided under Rule 60-61 to the Insured persons who cease to be in
insurable employment on account of permanent disablement and to the retired Insured
Persons, on payment of advance lump-sum contribution for a year at the rate of Rs.10/-
per month. Under the prevailing circumstances of lockdown, there may be cases where
validity of the medical benefit cards issued to these beneficiaries expire as these
beneficiaries are unable to deposit the advance annual lump-sum contribution due to
lockdown. Such beneficiaries have been allowed to avail medical benefit under Rule 60
and 61 of ESI (Central Rules) till 30.06.2020.
The payment of Rs.41.00 crore (approx.) in respect of Permanent Disablement Benefit and
Dependants' Benefit have been sent to the bank accounts of beneficiaries in the month of
March, 2020.
