West Bengal is working on a big project called the Silicon Valley project.

It will cost Rs 30,000 crore and is expected to create 7,500 jobs.

The project focuses on artificial intelligence (AI) and data centres.

The state already has many IT parks and companies, and it wants to attract more businesses.

The government is also making it easier for companies to use their advanced computing facilities for AI training.

Additionally, the state has seen a big increase in software exports over the years.

Industry leaders believe West Bengal is becoming a great place for technology companies because of its talent pool and improving infrastructure.
