The West Bengal Government has met the initial target of giving unemployment allowance of Rs 1,500 to one lakh youths under the Yuvashree scheme, State Labour Minister Purnendu Basu told the Assembly on Wednesday.
Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee had launched the scheme last October.
Replying to a question, Mr. Basu said the State government had spent over Rs 74 crore for the scheme.
Replying to supplementary questions, Basu said the State government would extend the scheme s coverage by including a large number of youths registered with the State Employment Bank.
Out of 22 lakh youths, registered with the state Employment Bank, 16 lakhs had already been identified for their inclusion in the scheme.
The Minister said the government was not attaching importance to the employment exchange, as its records were irregular and not updated.
The Labour Department had made a comprehensive list of 100,000 beneficiaries based on several criteria such as education (those who have passed at least eighth standard) and age group (beneficiaries must be in the age group of 18 to 45 years).
The beneficiaries had been chosen from those who have registered their names on the employment bank portal, launched earlier by the government.
The recipients of the allowance are required to use it for training, vocational or otherwise, which will make them fit for employment, the Minister said. PTI
