The West Bengal State Day was celebrated at the 40th India International Trade Fair (IITF), Pragati Maidan. West Bengal Industrial Development Corporation (WBIDC) Chairperson Rajiv Sinha said, "The state has the largest number of employment under the MSME. GDP has been growing at an average of 12.6 per cent between 2015-16 and 2020-21". Sinha mentioned the emerging industries in the state.

The WBIDC Chairperson informed that the state government will be hosting the Bengal Global Business Summit (BGBS) in April next year. He said the state is ready to invest in Industrial Infrastructure, "West Bengal state government has also introduced a scheme of private industrial parks scheme called Scheme for Approved Industrial Park (SAIP). We are opening doors to entrepreneurs in our state".

The evening rolled with a bouquet of colourful cultural programme. Folk songs like 'Hridh Majhare Rakhbo', 'Priti Kanthal r Atha' enthralled the audience followed by Soumitra Roy of the Bhoomi band singing popular numbers like 'Nazaun Nazaun', and their signature number 'Barandai Roddur' (originally sang by Surajit) that actually made the band Bhoomi popular. The evening concluded with the performance by Madhuri Dey who sang popular Bengali and Hindi numbers. The entire audience clapped with the beats of the iconic number 'Damadam Damadam Mast Kalandar' that became Runa Laila's signature after she mesmerized all at the Rabindra Rangashala in Delhi way back in the late 70's.
