The Yuvasree Scheme was launched in 2013 under the Labor Department of West Bengal and the earlier name of the scheme was ‘Yuva Zoshyam Scheme’. The objective of this scheme is to provide financial assistance to those job seekers registered with the Employment Bank who are still unemployed, so that they can take up self-employment ventures or undergo training in employable skills. Under this scheme monthly ₹1500/- is paid directly to the bank account of the beneficiaries.
The State Budget 2024 has proposed to increase this allowance to ₹2000/- for apprentices under the Yuvasree scheme and the State Government has allocated ₹200 crore in the new financial year.
In this regard, it is also said that under this scheme, those between 18 to 40 years of age who have received training from vocal training centers of various schools or madrasas will get this allowance.

When will the Yuvasree project money come in?
Under the Yuvasree scheme, the unemployed youth of the state get financial assistance of ₹1,500/- per month. However, no more money has been released in this scheme after last February, even after the start of the new fiscal year, many people are worried as no money has been credited to the accounts of the beneficiaries of this scheme.
However, this delay is believed to be due to the Lok Sabha polls and hence it is expected that the grant money for the last three months (March-May) may be released together in June itself.
