Chief minister Mamata Banerjee today expressed happiness at the report published by the Union government’s MSME department, which said West Bengal became the top scorer in the landscape of women-owned micro, small and medium enterprises.

In a post on her X-handle, the chief minister said, “Wonderfully the state ranks first in the share of all MSMEs owned by females, accounting for an impressive 23.42 per cent of female-owned enterprises across the country.

This figure highlights West Bengal’s progressive approach to empowering women entrepreneurs and underscores the vital role they play in the states’ economic development.”
