Welcome to Prokalpa.in: Your Trusted Guide to West Bengal Govt Schemes 2026

Welcome to the official launch of Prokalpa.in. In a state like West Bengal, where social welfare is a cornerstone of daily life, staying updated with the latest government notifications is not just helpful—it is essential. Our mission is simple: to bridge the gap between complex government orders and the common citizen. Whether you are a student in Kolkata, a farmer in Purba Medinipur, or a youth in Contai, we are here to ensure you never miss a benefit you are entitled to.

1. The Prokalpa.in Mission: Why We Exist

Government notifications are often released as dense PDF files or hidden deep within official portals. Many eligible beneficiaries miss out on life-changing assistance simply because they didn't know the deadline or the correct application process.

Prokalpa.in is an independent, private news portal designed to translate these notifications into clear, step-by-step guides. We cross-verify every piece of information with official sources like wb.gov.in before publishing, giving you the confidence to apply correctly.

2. 🔥 URGENT: Banglar Yuva Sathi Registration (February 2026)

The most critical news in West Bengal right now is the Banglar Yuva Sathi scheme. If you are an educated unemployed youth, this is your primary focus this week.

• The Benefit: A monthly financial allowance of ₹1,500 directly into your bank account.

• The Deadline: Registration camps are active right now but will close on February 26, 2026.

• Action Required: You must visit your local Assembly Constituency-based enrolment camp. These are often held at BDO offices or municipal centers.

What to carry to the camp:

1. Madhyamik (Class 10) Admit Card or Certificate for age proof.

2. Aadhaar Card (linked to your mobile number).

3. Bank Passbook (ensuring your seed/NPCI mapping is active).

4. Two passport-size photographs.

Do not wait until the last day, as server speeds at the camps tend to slow down due to high traffic.

3. Lakshmir Bhandar 2026: New Payout Rates

West Bengal's flagship scheme for women, Lakshmir Bhandar, has seen a significant update in the 2026 budget. To empower the women of our state, the government has increased the monthly allowance once again.

• General/OBC Category: Now receiving ₹1,500 per month.

• SC/ST Category: Now receiving ₹1,700 per month.

If you have already applied and are receiving payments, your hike should reflect automatically in your February cycle. If you have not yet applied, our Women & Social category provides the latest PDF form downloads and a guide on how to link your Swasthya Sathi card to your application.

4. Student Corner: Scholarships and the "Tab" Scheme

Students are the backbone of West Bengal’s future. At Prokalpa.in, we track deadlines for major educational grants so you can focus on your studies.

• SVMCM (Swami Vivekananda Scholarship): The renewal process for the 2026-27 session is currently live. Ensure you have maintained the required 60% marks to continue receiving your monthly stipend.

• Taruner Swapno (The Tab Scheme): Class 11 students across the state are currently receiving ₹10,000 for purchasing tablets or smartphones. If your payment is "Failed" or "Pending," check our troubleshooting guide in the Student Benefits section.

• Kanyashree (K1, K2, K3): We provide the updated list of documents required for the annual K2 (₹25,000) one-time grant.

5. Health & Housing: Swasthya Sathi & Awaas Yojana

Access to healthcare and a safe home are fundamental rights. We monitor the following for you:

• Swasthya Sathi: We keep an updated list of private and government hospitals in West Bengal that accept the Swasthya Sathi card. We also provide news on when new names can be added to existing cards.

• Banglar Awaas Yojana: For those waiting for rural housing grants, the 2026 verification lists are being finalized at the Gram Panchayat level. Use our portal to find out how to check your name on the beneficiary list.

6. Farmers' Welfare: Krishak Bandhu (Natun)

For our farmers, the Krishak Bandhu scheme continues to provide essential financial support twice a year.

• Benefit: Up to ₹10,000 per year for farmers with 1 acre or more of land.

• Death Benefit: A critical ₹2 Lakh grant for the families of farmers who pass away between the ages of 18 and 60.

We provide dedicated tutorials on how to check your Krishak Bandhu status using just your Voter ID (EPIC) number.
