West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has declared that the state’s new welfare initiative, ‘Banglar Yuva Sathi’, will come into effect from April 1.
Under the scheme, unemployed young people will receive a monthly financial aid of Rs 1,500 to support themselves while seeking employment or undergoing skill training. The rollout is scheduled for April 1, 2026, and eligible applicants will be able to register through designated special camps.
The West Bengal Sports and Youth Department hosts a dedicated forms section on its official website, where documents related to the Banglar Yuva Sathi scheme- including Application Form A, the Self Declaration form, and the Bank Mandate form- will be made available. Once officially released, these forms can be downloaded in PDF format.
Application forms for the ‘Yuva Sathi Yoja’ will be issued and collected at camps set up across every Assembly constituency from February 15 to February 26. A sample copy of the application form will also be available for download on the official website at wbsportsandyouth.com/forms.
Applicants for Yuva Sathi will be required to provide photocopies of essential documents such as their bank passbook, identity proof, Class 10 certificate, and a passport-size photograph, among others.
Once the form is submitted, candidates can monitor their application status on the portal using either their application ID or the mobile number registered during the process.
The Yuva Sathi scheme is intended for individuals between the ages of 21 and 40 who have completed at least their secondary education, and the assistance will continue until they obtain employment.
To qualify, applicants must be permanntt residents of West Bengal. Those already availing benefits under other state government welfare schemes will not be eligible for this support.
