Dear Reader,

A very happy new year 2021 to all of you.

As we welcome the new year, we, at WBEIDC, are looking forward to thrive in the new normal post the pandemic era
through exploring new methods and practices by emphasizing on innovating our products and services.

In order to spread the idea of innovation and ideation, we are committed to create platforms of idea generation
focusing on emerging technologies. From the month of December 2020, Govt of WB decided to extend 'Swasthya
Sathi' benefit to all residents of State except those who are already covered under any Govt sponsored Health
Insurance or Assurance scheme. WBEIDCL is a proud to be associated with this prestigious last mile service delivery
project of Swasthya Sathi cards.

In order to foster implementation of emerging technologies in the State, WBEIDCL has taken several initiatives.
Digital skills are now of paramount importance for employment, not only in the IT/ITeS sector but also for many
other service sectors. In order to impart skill in such cutting edge technologies, a Centre of Excellence with Japanese
tech major Fujisoft and partners has been set up , which is providing education and training on machine learning,
cyber-security, 3D printing, robotics process automation etc to catalyse innovation.

Recently, empanelled drone service providers of WBEIDC have deployed more than 15 Drones have been at
Gangasagar Mela to maintain Security Surveillance for the pilgrims.

To improve the WBEIDC is also I would like to take this opportunity to express our immense gratitude for the
unconditional support extended by our customers, distributers, business associates, investors, stakeholders and well-
wishers during these trying times. We look forward to your continued support, which will culminate in West Bengal
building upon its leadership position in information technology and electronics.

Please stay healthy and safe.
