"Going from block to block in the districts, we will be organising clinics where people interested in investing will get all the information, assistance as well as the motivation they need to set up a unit," Middya added.

While the political rivals find the state's industrial scenario bleak, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has been presenting a rather rosy picture, especially in the MSME sector.

Banerjee recently posted on Facebook that in the last three years, more than 35,000 new units employing nearly 320,000 people had been set up . She also said the sector accounted for credit disbursement worth 35,000 crore ($5.7 billion), the highest in the country.

She also asserted that her government sanctioned loans worth 1,000 crore while investment proposals close to 5,000 crore were received for the sector.

As part of the initiative, the department will also be setting up Financial Clinics and Single Application Gateways (SAG) in all the districts.
