Rajasthan Woos Calcutta Business Diaspora for Industrial Growth

Rajasthan wants businesspeople in Calcutta to invest in the state where many of their families began.

Officials said Rajasthan has developed its infrastructure and offers opportunities for industry.

Many Rajasthani merchants have lived and worked in Bengal for nearly two centuries.

Business leaders said Calcutta is their workplace, while Rajasthan remains their ancestral home.

The Rajasthan Foundation is helping connect this community with Rajasthan’s development plans.

A special event called Pravasi Rajasthan Diwas will be held in Jaipur on December 10.
