West Bengal, historically at the forefront of India’s industrial growth and social change, enjoys major benefits of outstanding natural and human resources. With a strong industrial base, it can transform into a manufacturing and employment-generating hub of eastern India and emerge as a central player in India’s vibrant growth story, given the right investment climate and proactive policies. This article by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General (CII) was published in The Times of India, Kolkata on 4 April, 2012.
Raising excise duties to pre-stimulus levels would adversely impact demand, inflation and investor plans. The Budget should desist from increasing excise from present 10% to 12%, especially since GST would be ready by next year.
Opinion piece by the Director General, CII in Indian Express of 2 March, 2012. The Budget must tackle fiscal deficit on an urgent basis. CII's recommendations cover possible revenue and expenditure steps.
The fiscal deficit has limited the government's ability to rev up a slowing economy. Hence, the Budget should focus on encouraging private participation in key sectors, such as infrastructure, education and healthcare. This article by Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General (CII) was published in The Hindu Business Line on 1 March, 2012.
In an article featured on the “Opinion” page in the Business Standard dated 13 November 2011, Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General, CII, highlights the immense potential for intra-SAARC trade.
Economic cooperation is an acknowledged tool for regional prosperity. However, intra-regional trade in the region, notes the author, which has one-fifth of the world’s population, and is home to two-fifths of the world’s poor, has stagnated at around 5 per cent of total trade, compared to over 50 per cent in East Asia and around 20 per cent in Latin America, and even lower than Sub-Saharan Africa!

Through the Hindu “Business Line” article the author, Mr Chandrajit Banerjee, Director General (CII), chronicles the development and evolution of the Indian industry in the post 1991 liberalisation era.
The author dwells upon how companies had to fight for their survival in the post reforms scenario after the Indian industry was thrown open to competition from abroad after many decades of protection. He further elucidates the theme of corporate social responsibility suggesting that it is only now that industry is in a position to give back to society. Mention is also made of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) and its key role in supporting the reform process and improving competitiveness.
The author concludes by making a case for heightened private participation in government led interventions for wider, broad based reforms.

The travails of the global economy appear to be still not behind us, despite gradual recovery during 2010 from the worst global
economic conditions since World War II. Continued fiscal and debt burdens vitiate the recovery process, imparting a degree of
fragility and uncertainty to global economic conditions. The world needs a new source of growth and stability, and India, a
rapidly growing economy with strong internal demand, offers a new opportunity.
India remained relatively untrammeled by the developments in the Eurozone and reverted to close to 9% GDP growth rates in
2010. Growth was broad-based across all sectors, including agriculture, manufacturing and services. Public commitment to
calibrated exit from expansionary fiscal policy and continued corporate and household confidence have helped sustain a
virtuous growth cycle. The resurgence of the rural economy and intensified infrastructure mission further strengthened the
foundations for medium-term growth propensities.
As part of the project, 6 months joint certification courses (which include 4 months class-room training + 2 months internship in relevant industry) have been developed in consultation with industry and are being delivered using advanced methodologies including case studies, interaction with domain experts, case simulation and real life hands-on experience. Post completion of the internship, the deserving students would be assisted for placement offers with suitable organizations. At present the following three certificate programs are being offered

As globalization pervades all facets of our life, there is a vital need for the education sector to keep pace with the changes sweeping across the environment. In today's dynamic world and demanding pedagogies; to say that teaching is one of the most important jobs would not be wrong. Teachers not only spread knowledge but also contribute to the society at large as they are the reason behind most of the people, who lead their countries to new developments. With education, we can achieve all that we want and can make new things and resources and meet the growing needs but it is a teacher who is behind imparting the education to the people.
