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


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


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.

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.

Administrative set up:

The Paschim Bardhaman district comprises two subdivisions - Asansol Sadar and Durgapur.

Asansol is the district headquarters. The DM’s Office is at Kanyapur, Asansol. Each subdivision is

divided into one Municipal Corporation and 4-community development blocks and which, in

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.

IT industry now started to take on peak on other industry with the hand of startups but

technologies seems to take on other with most popularity and major manpower.

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


24

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.

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.

Shri Nitin Gadkari reaches out to Overseas Indian Students calling for playing a big

role in converting COVID-19 Pandemic into an opportunity

Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways and MSME Shri Nitin Gadkari has undertaken a

massive outreach exercise in last few days with various sections and sectors of the society by

way of webinars, video conference, and other social media platforms. This has resulted in

taking communication outreach with about 1.30 crore people.

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.

Shri Gadkari mentioned that 22 Green Express Highways are being developed and work on a

new alignment of Delhi -Mumbai Expressway has started. This has resulted an opportunity for

industry to make future investments in industrial clusters, industrial parks, logistics parks, etc. He

said, nearly 2000 roadside amenities will be developed alongside these Highways and also

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

Shri Nitin Gadkari invited the young brilliant minds of the students and scientists of Indian origin

abroad to participate in India's growth story and the new opportunities in various fields of

research, innovation, management, medicine, higher education, etc. Interacting with

Overseas Indian Students from 43 Universities of various countries through video conferencing

Khadi mask and has procured orders for supplying it in large quantities. To add to its success,

KVIC has recently bagged an order to supply 7.5 lakh pieces of Khadi Masks to Jammu &

Kashmir Government alone in which 5 lakh masks will be supplied to Jammu district, one lakh

forty thousand to Pulwama district, one lakh to Udhampur district and 10,000 to Kupwara

district. These masks will be supplied to assist Development Commissioners of these districts by

April 20. Cotton reusable mask will be of 7 inches (length) by 9 inches (breadth) with three

pleats, four strips at corner for tying.

Chairman KVIC Shri V.K. Saxena said that "KVIC is

specifically using Double Twisted Khadi fabric for

manufacturing of these masks as it helps retain

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

near Jammu has been turned into a Mask stitching

center, which is producing 10,000 masks per day, while the rest of the orders are being

distributed amongst various Self-Help Groups (SHGs) and Khadi institutions in and around

waiver of charges on utility bills, inclusion of certain goods in the category of essential

commodities including computer hardware sector, payment of salaries to workers during

& health institutions at zero tax etc.

released over Rs. 5204 crore to MSMEs as refund from Income

Tax Department in last 10 days which will help the sector in a

big way.

The Minister called upon the industry to work upon import

substitution and make use of the opportunity for export.

During the meeting, the representatives of footwear industry expressed concerns regarding

lack of working capital, logistics, availability of raw material, workspace conditions, continuity

of business operations and impact on demand of footwear amid COVID-19 pandemic and

requested the government to take supportive measures to keep the sector afloat.

Further it was also highlighted that even after the lockdown, production will start gradually and

will take few months to reach to full capacity which would lead to issues of excess of raw

material. It was requested that foot wear raw material import from China to be stopped so

that raw material stock is not flooded.

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.
