Kolkata, Aug 23: Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Wednesday urged migrant workers from West Bengal working in other states to return home and start their own businesses.
Addressing a programme on MSMEs here, she said her government was working to prepare a list of migrant workers, which would be done at the ‘Duare Sarkar’ (government at doorstep) camps.
“Why are you going to other states to work and not opting for the Rs 5 lakh loan (being provided by the state government)? Why are you leaving your family here to work elsewhere? I will ask you all to come back,” she said, listing the initiatives taken by her government to attract investments to the state.
Banerjee said her government has launched a scheme in which Rs 5 lakh is offered as loans to entrepreneurs, and the government is itself the guarantor.
“I urge people to use that money and work here instead of going to other states,” she added. (PTI)
