According to the report, the maximum number of jobs has been created in the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector. Various forms of assistance are being extended by the Government, from loans to stipends to job fairs. As a result of the annual Bengal Global Business Summits, substantial gains in employment is happening, along with the signing of numerous memoranda of understanding (MoU), which are an indication of the employment potential of Bengal.
