According to Mr Jalan, the overall industrial climate in West Bengal was better than in any other States at present. He even did not fail to mention that lesser number of man-days were lost in West Bengal than in Andhra Pradesh last year. The law and order situation in West Bengal is the best too. It cannot be compared to Mumbai as the latter is under a ‘Mafia Raj’ now. In Delhi too criminals rules the roost. Mr. Jalan was confident of a turnaround in the industrial arena in West Bengal as industrialists are shedding their previous notions about industrialisation in West Bengal. During the past fifteen years there has been a significant development in transport communications and productivity is also on the upswing. It can boast of a top-class reservoir of technical personnel ready to utilize their skills in ushering in industrial revival. Mr Jalan has reports that in computer software investment amounting to Rs. 10,000 crores is on the anvil in the State . This will make a sea-change in the economy of the Eastern Region. Videocon , a large electronics product manufacturing company, is also learnt to be making plans for large-scale investment in the State. A few other industrialists have also declared their intentions to set up new industries in West Bengal.
