The World Trade Organization (WTO) has created new challenges before the developing countries in all areas of economic activity. In a large country like India, it is very important to analyse the regional implications of these challenges as each region has its own priorities and concerns. With this view in mind IIFT Kolkata has set up the WTO Cell for the West Bengal. The cell is partially supported by the Government of West Bengal. The basic infrastructure and the intellectual capital are being provided by the IIFT Kolkata. The primary objective of the cell is to create awareness and to disseminate information among the policy makers and government officials on all WTO related issues. The cell is also entrusted with the responsibility of creating suitable databases in the identified areas of interest for domestic producers as well as the exporters. Providing consulting and research support to the State Government is also an important function of the Cell.
