Calcutta Business School (CBS), city-based based leading residential B-School, has
initiated a project to conduct a study on inclusive growth and Sustainable Development
in West Bengal.
The report, which would be a collaborative effort with Eastern
Michigan University (EMU), USA, would focus on agriculture, agro-based
industries, tourism, IT & ITeS and education. A CBS team along with a six
member teacher-student delegation from Eastern Michigan University, USA,
recently met West Bengal government officials to seek vital inputs and approval
for the project to work out a comprehensive growth model for the state.
This is the first initiative between CBS and Eastern Michigan
University (EMU), USA, which already has established linkages in order to draw
upon their experience and expertise. Dr Goutam Sengupta, Chairman of Management Development & Research Centre, CBS, said, "West Bengal is at the crossroads of a huge opportunity for growth. The joint research by CBS would identify those areas and prepare an effective delivery methodology which would ensure inclusive growth in a sustainable manner in the state."
The purpose of the visit of EMU is to understand cross-cultural business practices and exchange ideas. CBS and EMU prepared a project on Bengal's industrial resurgence which was presented at the CBS campus of CBS last week. The project team included senior
faculty members, industry experts and post graduate management students.
The joint research would generate awareness among the rural masses about the progress and the development that is taking place and make them an active party to the development process that would plug the gaps that stand in
the way of fruits of development from
reaching the masses.
