This program gives Rs 1500 monthly to unemployed youth aged 21-40 who passed Class 10. Announced by CM Mamata Banerjee, it starts payments from April 2026. But hurry – camps run till February 26. We’ll break down how to apply for Banglar Yuva Sathi, needed docs, who gets it and who doesn’t, plus fresh updates from social media buzz.

·       Banglar Yuva Sathi scheme exploded with 2 lakh applications Day 1 (Feb 16) as camps opened statewide for Rs 1,500/month unemployed youth aid launching April 1, 2026.

·       294 camps across every assembly constituency run Feb 15-26 (10am-5pm). Mamata Banerjee’s budget promise draws jobless youth rush.

Details & Context (Eligibility Check)

Who Gets Rs 1,500/Month (Max 5 Years)

·       Age 21-40

·       Class 10 passed

·       West Bengal resident

Currently unemployed (no govt/private job)

Banglar Yuva Sathi is West Bengal’s big push to help jobless young folks. Finance Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya first mentioned it in the 2026 interim budget but CM Mamata Banerjee sealed the deal, saying it’ll roll out in April with Rs 1500 direct to bank accounts. It’s for unemployed residents who’ve cleared secondary exams (Class 10 or equivalent). You can get this aid for up to 5 years or until you land a job.

Camps kicked off statewide from 10 AM on February 16 with spots in every assembly area. To find your camp, check the government’s APAS portal by entering your assembly name. Timings: 10 AM to 5 PM daily till February 26. Applications are mostly offline – grab the form at camp, fill it, submit with docs. Some spots might have online options via wbsportsandyouth.gov.in but camps are the main hub. No fee to apply and payments hit Aadhaar-linked banks via DBT.

Who qualifies.? Age 21-40 (as of April 1, 2026), West Bengal resident, passed Madhyamik or similar and truly unemployed. Even if you’re on scholarships like Swami Vivekananda Merit-cum-Means or Rupashree, you can join. But no double-dipping on other state schemes like Lakshmir Bhandar or farmer aids.

Docs Needed: Aadhaar card (for ID and address), Madhyamik admit/marksheet (age and education proof), Bank passbook (for DBT), recent passport photo and mobile number (for OTP and updates). Self-declare you’re unemployed – no extra proof required at start but verification happens later.

Who misses out.? Salaried folks (govt or private), pensioners or those on other social security like old age pension. If you’re already getting state unemployment aid, skip this.
