Answer: West Bengal
Notes: The Government of West Bengal has launched the Banglar Yuva Sathi Scheme 2026 to support unemployed youth in the state. The scheme was announced by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee during the state’s interim budget presentation. Under this initiative, eligible unemployed youth will receive a monthly allowance of ₹1,500 as transitional financial support. The scheme aims to assist educated but unemployed individuals by providing a financial support while they search for employment, rather than serving as a permanent income source. Although initially planned for launch in August 2026, the programme has been fast-tracked and will officially begin on April 1, 2026.
