The Yuvasree scheme, formerly known as Yuva Utsaha Prakalpa, is a financial assistance program launched by the Government of West Bengal in October 2013. Its primary objective is to provide a monthly unemployment allowance to the registered job seekers in the state. This initiative by the Labour Department aims to empower the youth by providing them with financial support to upgrade their skills and enhance their employability, making them better suited for jobs or self-employment ventures.
