Kolkata, Nov 27 (KNN) West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has said the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) sector will be encouraged to build daily- use items like cycles and non-polluting ovens.

"The MSME sector needs to be strengthened so that they can produced daily-use items like cycles, stoves and sarees everything in large measures," she said, on Monday, while flagging off 12 relief vehicles for Cyclone Bulbul affected areas.

While saying that many items which we need daily are inadequate in number when we require them the most, Banerjee assured the state government is ready to provide land if anyone shows interest in setting up such units.

The Chief Minister further said, the state government has given around one crore cycles to students of classes IX to XII in government-run schools and madrasas since 2015-16 under the Sabooj Sathi scheme.

"Since, there is no cycle manufacturing unit in the state. How can we distribute more?'' Banerjee added.
