From the Desk of Director In-Charge:
Budget 2020 has been tabled and Finance Minister Nirmala
Sitharaman’s second budget speech in the parliament contained a
array of announcements to boost MSME sector’s growth
The Budget 2020 allocated an all-time high of Rs 7572 crore - an
increase of 8% from the FY 2019-20 figures of Rs 7011.29 crore.There is
a special thurst on the PMEGP Scheme allotment of which has been
raised from Rs 2327.10 crore last year to Rs 2500 crore this year.
Development of Khadi, Village and Coir Industries continued to be
at the center of attention, with major heads seeing a substantial rise. The allocation for
Scheme Fund for Regeneration of Traditional Industries (SFURTI) has been increased
from Rs 125 crore to Rs 464.85 crore. Also, Coir Vikas Yojana has increased from Rs 70.50
crore to Rs 103.87 crore and outlay for Khadi Grant (KG) has been hiked from Rs 308.51
to Rs 383.60 crore - an increase of 24.34%.
Though there are reductions in allotment in many schemes, the overall increase in
budgetory allocation will definitely boost the sector I believe.
The Finance Minister Sitharaman hailed the entrepreneurship mindset of Indian, saying,
“entrepreneurship has always been the strength of India”. We hope a better
performance of the sector in the next year.

Editorial:
The development puzzles today in most countries are common: need
for livelihoods, job creation, and improvement of quality of life. The
popular understanding of the present status, be it at the macro or micro
levels, are far too limited. The politician and activist speak of “data” and
“studies”, the researcher on “information”, the innovator on
“knowledge”, and the statesman and philosopher, on “wisdom”. The
first three categories relate to the past; they deal with what has been, or
what is known. Only 'wisdom' deals with the future, because it
incorporates vision and design. But, wisdom has no easy route; one need
to move successively though the other three categories.Micro, small and medium enterprises
(MSMEs), undoubtedly, are significant in most economies of the world today, in terms of
their role in income generation, employment opportunities, and exports, and more so,
to regional development. Now it is everybody's compass, the public eye has already
captured that importance! Hence, as the bankers, the politicians, the promotional
agencies, and all do-gooders, speak tall of it, they mean more than business!Decision
making by businesses, and for them, in the present century, unlike in the past, is too complex.
Enhanced globalization of economies ,and the associated cross-border enterprise activities
have made the functional space for MSMEs more challenging. Where continuous change
itself is the rule of the game,” a little knowledge is, undoubtedly, a dangerous thing”. For
MSMEs today, the need for growth and the need for survival are so close to each other. It is
not finance or technology; global and national value chains are the drivers of growth today.
Getting linked to such value chains,to be appropriate and effective, MSMEs need to get into
the key lines of communication. Structured models of knowledge base and knowledge
retrieval need to remain handmaids of such a process. In India, as in many other countries,
the tools and techniques of MSME communication have need and scope for further
improvement. Stake holders at various levels, the entrepreneur, the banker, CEO of an SME
promotion agency, the leader of an SME Association, representative of a multilateral
organization, all have reasons to join hands .
We at DI, Kolkata are trying to do the same as per our role as fecilitator.
This month We focus on Hooghly district . Our success story format has changed a bit but we
will revert to our earlier storytelling pattern soon. With regular features on, We are constrained
to keep the volume of this publication shorter for your convenience. Just waiting for your
feedback.
HAPPY Reading!

SUCC
FEEDBACK FROM READERS
Sir
I was going through the V12 issue of Udyami Bangla and as usual the
contents are found to be very informative. But one thing, I have
observed in the page news and view probably the analysis of export
figure of top ten products have been given and requested to
appraise about the reason for trend and the down fall.
Sir, without any prejudice may I ask one question that the magazine
is dealing with MSMEs and major readers are expected to be from
MSMEs but the export figure of sr. No. 6, 9, 10 and some way 5 also
are really concerned to MSMEs, ? I think these are produced by
PSUs. Anyway I am thinking to write to you with some inputs of one
major product which need support of your department for its export
development and there are other issues too.
Regards.
A.K. Sengupta.

Hooghly district is one of the district of the state of West Bengal in India. It can
alternatively spelt Hoogli or Hugli. The district is named after the Hooghly River. The
headquarter of the district are at Chinsura (Chuchura). There are four subdivision in the
district namely Chinsura Sadar, Chandannagar, Serampore and Arambag. The great rive
Ganga flows through this district and enhances it’s importance. The district is a rich Zone
both in agriculture and industry in West Bengal.
Introduction: The District Hugli is enriched with its cultural heritage. The Portuguese, the Dutch,
the French, the Dane, the English came to this District for business purpose. The river path was
used for trade and commerce. The important monuments in this district are Bandel Basilica,
Hugli Immambara, Armenian Church, Tower Clock, Bansberia Hanseswari Mandir etc. The
great scholar William Carey came in this district and lived here for a long period. He enriched
the Bengali language by printing books and publishing “Samachar Darpan” in Bengali. Asia’s
largest type foundry was established at Serampore in the district of Hugli with the help of
Panchanan Karmakar and his son-in-law Monohar and at the initiative of William Carey. This
foundry was established, where type faces of different Indian, Asian and European
languages began to be cast. Sri Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, a famous Bengali writer also
lived here at Debanandapur in this district, who expressed sorrows of the women folk in rural
areas in his writings. Sri Bankim Chandra Chattopadhyay, edited the “BANDE MATARAM”
song here which is known to every Indian. Raja Ram Mohan Roy lived in this district at
Radhanagar, Khanakul under Arambagh Subdivision, who fought against Sati Daaho Pratha.
Brief History of Howrah: The district of Hooghly derived its name from the town of Hooghly
situated on the west bank of Hooghly River about 40 Km north of Kolkata. This town was a
river port in the 15th century. But, the district has thousands of years of rich heritage in the

form of the great Bengali Kingdom of Bhurshut. In 1536, the Portuguese traders obtained a
permit from Sultan Mahmud Shah to trade in this area. In those days the Hooghly River was
the main route for transportation and Hooghly served as an excellent trading port. Within a
few decades the town of Hooghly turned into a major commercial centre and the largest
port in Bengal. Later in 1579-80 Emperor Akbar gave permission to a Portuguese Captain
Pedro Tavares to establish a city anywhere in the Bengal Province. They normally chose
Hooghly and thus Hooghly became the first European settlement in Bengal. In 1599, the
Portuguese traders built a convent and a Church in Bandel. This is the first Christian Church in
Bengal known as Bandel Church today.
But the Portuguese traders started misusing their powers. They started slave trading, robbery
and converting natives into Christians by pressure. At one of point of time they even stopped
paying taxes to the Mughal Empire. As a result Emperor Shah Jahan ordered the then ruler of
Bengal Province, Qasim Khan Juvayni to block the city Hooghly. This eventually led to a war in
which both Portuguese were defeated comprehensively.
Among other European powers that came to Hooghly were the Dutch, the Denish, the British,
the French, the Belgians and the Germans. Dutch traders centred their activities in the town
Chuchura, which is just in the south of city Hooghly. Chandannagar became the base of the
French and the city remained under their control from 1816-1950. Similarly, the Denish
established the settlement in Srirampur. All these towns are situated on the west bank of the
Hooghly River and served as ports. But among these European Countries, the British ultimately
became most powerful.
Initially the British were based in and around the city of Hooghly like traders from other
countries but in 1690 Jab Charnak decided to shift the British trading centre from Hooghly-
Chinsura to Calcutta now Kolkata. The reason behind this decision was the strategically safe
location of Calcutta and its proximity to the Bay of Bengal. As a result the centre of gravity of
trade and commerce in the Bengal Province shifted from the town of Hooghly to Calcutta
and Hooghly subsequently lost its importance s Calcutta proposed. After the Battle of Buxar
this region was brought under direct British rule until India’s independence in 1947. After
independence this district merged into the state of West Bengal.
Though the city of Hooghly is more than 500 years old; the district of Hooghly was formed in
1795 with the city of Hooghly as its headquarters. Later the headquarters shifted to the town
of Chuchura. In 1843 the Howrah district was created from the southern portion of this district
and in 1872, the South-West portion of this district was merged into the Medinipur district. The
last change in area occurred in 1966.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE DISTRICT:
The economy of Hooghly district is admixture of predominant agriculture and industry. It lies
on the bank of the river Hooghly and about 15 kms away from Kolkata. So, the district enjoys
the proximity of Kolkata Metropolitan city and the river Hooghly. Numbers of large and
medium scale industries have been set up along the bank of the river Hooghly. Besides, a
large number of MSEs have also been set up along the bank of the river Hooghly as well as
other parts of the district. The remaining part of the district is under agriculture activities. The
people are engaged in both agricultural and industrial activities. At present, multi-national
companies are showing interest in setting up of industries in the district and some closed
large scale units re-opened. Thus, industry is growing fast in the district.

HANDICRAFT
The district is also advance activities. These activities are found all over the district. The
handicraft items are traditional. The major handicraft activities in the district and zari chikon,
stone jewellary,kantha stitch, soft doll, beed work,wooden art, betelnut, embroidery, rakhi,
etc. There are about 900chikon, 150 bell metal, 400 rakhi, 600 embroidery, 300 pottery, 50
knatha stitch, 10 stone jewellery, 65 soft doll and beed etc. units in the district. Most of the
units are cottage types. Family members are engaged in the activities.Middlemen control
the chikon work. The products are sold in and around the district. Marketing and
anadequate working capital are the main problems of the units.
Handloom
Handloom activities are found in some blocks of the district. Among them, Dhaniakhali leads
the handloom activities in the district. Dhaniakhali saree is popular in the State. Besides,
Dhaniakhali, Handloom activities are also found in Serampur-Uttarpara, Chanditala-I & II
blocks. There are about 500 looms in Dhaniakhali, 150 looms in serampur-Uttarpara, 250looms
in Chanditala-I, 250 looms in Chanditala-II. The activities are also found more or less in
Jangipara, Khanakil-I, Balagarh, etc. Kolkata is the main market of Dhaniakhali saree. Other
products are sold in the district.
Problems faced by the existing industries
The existing industries are facing various problems. One of the main problems is lack of
industrial estate in the district. The new entrepreneurs are facing difficulties for land to set up
their units. MSMEs are also facing problems for their working capitols. The situation is tougher
for KVI & other tiny enterprises. Marketing of handicraft products like zari chikon are
controlled by middlemen, who often deprive the artisans. Technology up gradation is
another problem of traditional industries. Due to years-old technology used by most of the
units, the cost of production is high. So, they are facing problems for marketing of their
products. Although the district has better power supply in the State but irregular power supply
hurts the production. These are the main problems faced by the existing industries in the
district.
PROMOTION OF AGRO BASED INDUSTRY

items. DIC, Hooghly has conducted four preparing motivation camps including one Seminar
on Jute Diversified Products. The response is received were very incoming. NGOs are also

& rural entrepreneurs, to enhance marketability of products etc. The scheme provides
support in the form of two interventions viz. Hard Interventions and Soft Interventions. Hard
Interventions include creation of Common Facility Centres (CFCs), Raw material banks
(RMBs), Up-gradation of production infrastructure, Tools and technological up-gradation etc.
Soft Interventions include counselling, trust building, skill development and capacity building
etc.
Shri Gadkari further stated that the scheme was revamped in 2014-15 and further revised in
2017-18. Under the revised scheme, two types of clusters are set up. The maximum financial
assistance provided is Rs. 2.50 crore for a Regular Cluster (upto 500 artisans) and Rs. 5.00
crore for a Major Cluster (more than 500 artisans). To expand the reach of the scheme, 20
more Nodal Agencies have been appointed under the scheme during 2019-20 besides the
existing 8 Nodal Agencies. KVIC has also been asked to develop Honey clusters as per SFURTI
Guidelines.
KVIC Distributes 1000 Bee Boxes in Arunachal Pradesh
Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has been continuously working to empower
the farmers of North East region to help them earn an additional income through various
schemes under the aegis of Ministry of MSME. Shri VK Saxena, Chairman KVIC distributed 1000
bee boxes to 100 farmers in the presence of Shri Tage Taki, Chairman Arunachal Khadi Board
and few other dignitaries.
Highlighting the importance of Honey Mission program of KVIC, Shri V.K. Saxena, said,
“Arunachal Pradesh has abundance of Flora and Fauna, and has the untapped potential of
becoming a truly honey producing state. High altitude honey is rich in antioxidants and
hence can be sold at a premium price”.
“Not only honey, but products such as pollen, propolis, royal jelly and bee venom are also
marketable and can greatly help the farmers who otherwise migrate to cities for menial
labor. As per a recent report, India has a potential of about 200 million bee colonies as
against 3.4 million bee colonies today. Increasing the number of bee colonies will not only
increase the production of bee-related products but will also boost overall agricultural and
horticultural productivity in the region”, Saxena said.
It is quite noticeable that KVIC has distributed around 30,000 bee boxes in the North East
alone since 2017, thus generating an additional employment in honey production for around
3000 educated but unemployed farmers. This year KVIC plans to distribute around 2,500 bee
boxes in Arunachal Pradesh while it targets to distribute around 10,000 bee boxes in the next
year.
For the first time since 1960’s KVIC has also registered 2 new Khadi Institutions-Youth for Social
Welfare, Tawang and Rural Development Society, Papum Pare for promotion of Khadi
Artisans in the region.
Shri Nitin Gadkari Launches Special Edition of Khadi Watches
On the occasion of Martyrs’ Day, paying tribute on the 72nd death anniversary of Mahatma
Gandhi, Union Minister for MSME, Shri Nitin Gadkari, launched the limited edition of Khadi wrist

Designed by Titan, a non-horological material like Khadi has been used on the dial and strap
of the watches for the first time ever. Since Khadi is handwoven, every single watch in this
collection is unique because of the distinctive weave and texture. The straps of the watches
have also been treated with a special coating to make them more durable without
compromising on its authentic texture. The collection is a unique and elegant blend of
simplicity and modernity.
Speaking on the occasion Shri Gadkari said, “This collection celebrates Khadi, India’s
signature fabric. Titan and KVIC have come together to create a modern watch that
celebrates the fabric which is integral to our Indian heritage. Khadi and a watch were two
integral parts of Mahatma Gandhi’s life and I’m really glad to see KVIC & Titan collaborating
to pay a true tribute to Gandhi ji. With this extraordinary initiative, Khadi will find its way on the
wrists of the modern young Indian. I am sure this will lead to a bright future to the artisans in
our economy.”
In his address, Shri Vinai Kumar Saxena said, “Khadi is one of the most eco-friendly materials
with zero carbon footprint and requires least water consumption. Together with Titan, we
have created beautiful contemporary timepieces that are truly special for the generations to
keep by using authentic Khadi.”
The watches are available in two variants (men and women) and are priced at Rs. 4,995/.
The collection is exclusively available online at https://www.titan.co.in/.
Speaking on the occasion of the launch, Shri Ravi Kant said that Khadi is revered in India and
worldwide due to its uniqueness of being hand spun, handwoven and is truly a sustainable
fabric. He said that we are happy to launch this special edition Khadi collection in
collaboration with KVIC to commemorate the 150th birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi
and on the occasion of his martyrdom day.

Khadi fights back to prevent misuse of its Trademarks Internationally
In the recent days, Khadi and Village Industries Commission (KVIC) has taken various
initiatives for protection and promotion of Khadi as a brand in India and internationally and
are the registered proprietors of over a hundred trademarks registrations including the symbol
of ‘Charkha’ in India and other countries like Russia, China, Germany, Australia, UK and
Bhutan. These trademark and symbols, however have been misused time and again by
private players for material benefits. In an initiative to prevent such misuse any further, for the
first time KVIC has taken up the matter with the Ministry of External Affairs, Ministry of
Commerce and Permanent Mission of India at UN, Geneva seeking International Trademark
protection of symbol of ‘Charkha’ under the article 6ter of the Paris Convention.
Article 6ter of the Paris Convention for the protection of Industrial property of 1883 (1967
Stockholm Act) protects armorial bearings, flags and other State emblems as well as official
signs and hallmarks of the States party to the Paris Convention. The signs published with World
Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) under this act are prevented from being registered
or used as trademarks, across the world, without authorization. Quite noticeably, Prime
Minister Shri Narendra Modi has been endorsing Khadi and due to his appeals the sale of
Khadi has gone up manifolds.
Speaking about the initiative, Chairman KVIC Shri VK Saxena said, “KVIC is one of those
unique institutions in India that links the nation’s past, present and future on its functional
plane, through – self-reliance and sustainability. Ever since the pre-independent era, Khadi
has been considered as the national symbol for Swadeshi. The word marks "KHADI", "KUTIR",
"SARVODAYA" and the logo of Khadi India and Charkha are the harbinger of this spirit of
Swadeshi, hence, must be protected at all cost”.
Considering historical and national importance of the trademarks, Shri Saxena has written to
Commerce Minister Shri Piyush Goyal seeking his intervention so as to expedite the matter
pending with the Department of Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) which
comes under the Ministry of Commerce.
KVIC is fighting cases in several countries for violation of the Khadi Mark Regulations. The
regulations issued in 2013 by the Ministry of MSME, empowered KVIC to grant ‘Khadi Mark’
registration and take royalties from any producer using the Khadi Mark. In continuation, KVIC
has issued notices against 600 entities in India, including a renowned garment chain and 3
entities in the International market for misusing these symbols and indulging in unfair trade
practices in the recent past.
