About the Scheme
Thousands of educated youth across West Bengal continue to face difficulties in securing stable employment after completing their studies. To provide financial assistance during this period, the Yuva Shakti Bharosa Card Scheme has been proposed as an unemployment support initiative.
The scheme was announced as a major election promise during the West Bengal Assembly Elections 2026. Under the proposal, eligible unemployed youth may receive ₹3,000 every month to help cover expenses while preparing for jobs and competitive examinations.
The assistance can help beneficiaries manage:
- Transportation expenses for interviews.
- Online coaching and skill development courses.
- Internet and digital learning costs.
- Competitive examination preparation.
- Educational expenses.
- Daily living expenses during unemployment.
The proposed scheme is expected to replace the previous Banglar Yuva Sathi Scheme, under which eligible beneficiaries received ₹1,500 per month. The new proposal doubles the assistance amount to ₹3,000 per month.
The term "Bharosa" means trust and assurance, reflecting the government's objective of ensuring that financial hardships do not stop youth from continuing their education, skill development, or employment search.
