Return to Bengal, CM Suvendu urges skilled professionals from state working outside
Aug-27-2026

Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari has appealed to skilled professionals working outside the state and abroad to return to West Bengal, promising them better opportunities under the double-engine government.

Adhikari said his government was focused on creating jobs for the state’s educated youth and restoring West Bengal’s position as an investment destination. He made this call at the inauguration of the first phase of LTI Mindtree's new IT campus in New town, Kolkata.

Adhikari also assured the company of support for expansion. He said that the state government would hand over an additional 10 acres of land to LTM, formerly known as LTI Mindtree and part of the Larsen & Toubro group, for setting up a data centre. He said the company had written to the government seeking the land around two months ago.

Addressing LTM chairman and managing director SN Subrahmanyan and his team, CM said the government would extend all possible support to the company’s future investments in the state. He said the government was particularly focused on creating opportunities in emerging technology sectors, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, chip design, automation and digital manufacturing. 

Adhikari further stressed the need for partnerships between academia and industry to generate jobs for young people, and said the government would help create credit access and opportunities for small businesses. 

Bengal CM also praised the campus for its energy-efficient systems and smart building management, and assured the company of continued support. He added, ‘Whatever you need, the chief minister’s both hands are ready to provide’.
