West Bengal Yuva Sathi Scheme: When Will the 1,500 Rupee Funds Be Deposited? Mamata’s Announcement The West Bengal government has announced that funds under the Yuva Sathi scheme and the Kheta Mazdur program will start being disbursed to beneficiaries’ bank accounts from April 1st. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee made the announcement on March 7, 2026, stating that the money will be transferred immediately without waiting for the April 1st deadline. Mamata highlighted that the Yuva Sathi scheme, aimed at providing monthly financial assistance of 1,500 rupees to unemployed youth aged 21 to 40, will begin disbursement from the current day. She emphasized that the initiative was launched to address youth unemployment and support young people in the state. Over 90 lakh to 1 crore applications were received for the scheme, and the government has ensured that the funds will reach beneficiaries promptly. The Kheta Mazdur program, which provides financial aid to landless agricultural laborers, will also see immediate disbursement. Mamata noted that this initiative ensures that even those without land ownership receive support, as they previously did not benefit from existing agricultural subsidies. Under this program, beneficiaries will receive 4,000 rupees monthly. Mamata reiterated that the government’s focus is on reducing unemployment and encouraging youth to remain active in the workforce. She mentioned that the disbursement of funds is part of broader efforts to improve livelihoods and economic stability for marginalized groups. The announcement comes amid ongoing discussions about economic reforms and social welfare programs in the state. The government has also emphasized the importance of timely financial support to address immediate needs and foster long-term development. ---#mamata_banerjee #west_bengal #west_bengal_government #yuva_sathi_scheme #kheta_mazdur_program
