Even as it retained its optimism on West Bengal as an attractive investment destination, apex industry association Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (Assocham) said that it would shortly place before the West Bengal Government, a comparative study on land acquisition policy and status in other States while also outlining a futuristic industrial policy that the State could follow.
Assocham President Swati Piramal said that the State lacked investment in knowledge industry. Areas such as digital music and new media could also be developed in the State, she felt. Chamber Secretary General D. S. Rawat said after a joint press meet that the chamber had met West Bengal Chief Minister Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee on Tuesday and it agreed to submit draft papers on public-private partnership in the health sector and industry-education partnership.
