The Labor Department of the Government of West Bengal launched Employment Bank, a unique e-governance effort, to increase the number of job opportunities available to State job searchers. Employment Bank is essentially a State-owned job portal. A program called “Yuvasree” (formerly known as “Yuva Utsaha Prakalpa”) was introduced in 2013 to offer financial aid to job searchers registered with Employment Bank so they might improve their employability by completing some education or training throughout the period of help.
It aims to give financial assistance of Rs. 1,500 per month to the first 100,000 job seekers registered with the Employment Bank, so that they can improve their employability by pursuing some form of education or training during the time of the assistance.
