Bengal CM Visits Siliguri; State Launches MSME Support Initiative
The leader of Bengal, Mamata Banerjee, is visiting a city called Siliguri today because there were floods and landslides there.
She wants to see how bad things are and help people.
Also, the Bengal government is starting a new program called 'Shilper Samadhane' all over the state.
This program is for small businesses and people who make things.
It will help them get easy loans, learn new skills, and get help with problems they have with their businesses.
One special loan program can give them up to 5 lakh rupees for their business with a low interest rate.
The main idea is to make it easier for these small businesses to grow and succeed.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee visits Siliguri on November 10 to assess post-flood and landslide impact.
The 'Shilper Samadhane' initiative is launched across West Bengal to support MSMEs and artisans.
The initiative will run from November 10 to November 28, 2025, offering loans, training, and problem-solving.
A key component is the Bhabishyat Credit Card Scheme, providing loans up to ₹5 lakh at 4% interest.
The program aims to boost the MSME sector by removing obstacles and providing financial and procedural aid.
