The West Bengal Government will be setting up a deep sea port on Sagar Island.
The state government has planned a roadmap for the development of Sagar Island. The state government has no need to acquire land to build the project.
Further, it will set up a university and a medical college in the south district of state. Also, 15 cyclone-centres will be built in the area and the people would get three cottachs of land each to build houses and start a business venture under ‘Nija bhumi, nija griha’ (own land, own house) scheme. The State Government will also set up cold storages in 371 blocks in the state to enable the farmers to store their produce and not to resort to distress sale.
