The Merchants Chamber of Commerce & Industry (MCCI) has emerged as one of the
most dynamic
and
front ranking chambers
in
the city of Kolkata. Being born in an
environment of national upsurge
, it’s
prime objective
has been
to provide a
sense of integrity
,
secularity and idealism
to the
business community
of eastern india
. The Chamber today is steadily making it’s presence felt across
the country and abroad, through well-thought out, meaningful initiatives aimed at taking
indian industry
to a
higher
growth trajectory
.
Historically, the Chamber carries with it a
legacy of uniting the business community
in
Kolkata,
forming an
organisation
and
raising its voice of concern
against all
sorts of injustice
in the
pre independence days
. It
played a significant
nationalist role
at different times of the last 117 years of it’s existence. The
Chamber has always been in the
forefront of challenges
faced and
policy actions taken
by the
emerging india
,
championing
the
cause of indigenous industry
as generators of
maximum
wealth and employment
for the millions of people in India. The MCCI started its
function in the name of ‘
vaishya mitra sabha
’, which was renamed as the
merchants committee in 1904
and membership was
opened to all. It plunged itself into the
swadeshi movement
launched by Mahatma Gandhi in
1921. In 1952, the name was changed into
merchants chamber of commerce
’, which was
ultimately changed to “Merchants’ Chamber of
commerce & industry
” in 2016, to re-affirm and
reflect its focus on trade, commerce & industry.
