Banglar Yuva Sathi Camp 2026

What You'll Learn

• What the 2026 Yuva Sathi camp dates and timing actually covered.
• Why the official portal now shows application submission as closed.
• Which age, residence, education and unemployment conditions the scheme documents state.
• Which documents, file limits, DBT rules and official support channels matter.

Banglar Yuba Sathi is a West Bengal Government assistance scheme for eligible educated unemployed youth. The camp phase was an application collection drive, not a permanent service centre. The official scheme presentation records assembly-wise camps from February 15 to February 26, 2026, except February 22, with a 10 AM to 5 PM schedule. The current Yuba Sathi portal says the online submission period has ended.

That distinction is the main correction to older versions of this article. A reader searching for a camp list may be looking for an address, but may also be asking whether an application can still be submitted, how status can be checked, or what documents were required. Those questions need different answers. The date table below is historical. The official portal and its status, notice and help options are the live reference points.

This guide uses the Department of Youth Services and Sports notification, the department scheme presentation, the official Yuba Sathi portal and its quick-tips page. It does not treat social-media posts, old videos or an unverified application link as proof that a new window is open.

What the Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026 was for

The Yuva Sathi camps were arranged to collect applications for Banglar Yuba Sathi across all 294 Assembly Constituencies in West Bengal. The department material describes the scheme as support for educated unemployed youth and says forms were available at the camps and official departmental websites.

The camp list therefore had a limited purpose. It helped an eligible applicant understand when the assembly-wise application drive was scheduled. It was not a guarantee of approval, a payment order or an instruction to send identity documents to any website that copied the scheme name.

The official Yuva Sathi scheme overview can help readers who need the broader scheme context. A camp-list page should not replace the official notification or the current portal.

Camp dates, timing and what changed

The department presentation states that assembly-wise application camps were scheduled from February 15 to February 26, 2026, except February 22, and operated from 10 AM to 5 PM. These dates should now be read as the original application schedule. The official closed page states that the submission window ended at midnight on February 26, 2026.

The scheme’s effective date is separate from the camp date. The department presentation says the scheme became effective from April 1, 2026. That does not reopen the February application window. It explains why an article can mention an April benefit start while still reporting that applications were collected earlier.

Readers should be careful with pages that say camps are open today, promise a new local address or give a new date without linking to a current government notice. An old camp list can remain useful as a record, but it is not enough evidence for a new application instruction.

Is Yuva Sathi registration open now?

The official Yuba Sathi portal currently says that the online application submission period has officially ended. Its closed-application page gives the closing time as February 26, 2026 at 12:00 midnight and says no new application or modification will be accepted after that closing time.

The same portal exposes Application Status, Public Notices and Department Reports. That is the correct place to look for a future notification, a status route or an official change. The portal does not support treating an old third-party page as a live application form.

Do not use apas.wb.gov.in as a Yuba Sathi application instruction merely because an older version of this article named it. The current evidence for this article points readers to the official Yuba Sathi portal at yubasathi.wb.gov.in. If a new application window is announced, verify the destination from a current government notice before entering personal information.

Who qualified for Banglar Yuva Sathi?

The official notification No. 102/YS dated February 13, 2026 describes the beneficiary conditions. The applicant had to be a permanent resident of West Bengal, aged 21 to 40 years as on April 1, 2026, unemployed and a Madhyamik or equivalent pass. The notification also says the applicant must not be receiving disqualifying regular assistance, while the department presentation preserves an exception for scholarship or educational benefits.

Eligibility is not the same as sanction. The notification says applications were to be examined by designated officers and recommended to the relevant authority. The District Magistrate was the sanctioning authority outside Kolkata Municipal Corporation areas, while the KMC Commissioner handled applications within KMC jurisdiction.

For background, the Yuva Sathi registration guide and the application form guide cover related topics. They do not override the current official portal’s closed status.

Documents and upload rules

The official quick-tips page provides a more reliable document list than the older body of this article. It lists self-attested PDF documents for education, identity, residence and bank details, plus image requirements for the photograph and signature. The page also specifies file-size limits, which are practical details a generic scheme summary often omits.

The notification separately lists a signed recent passport photograph, Aadhaar card, Madhyamik or equivalent admit card, marksheet or educational certificate, applicable caste certificate, voter card, bank passbook first page and a cancelled cheque. It says the bank account should be a single account in the eligible youth’s own name.

Prepare documents only for an official application or status process. Do not email Aadhaar, bank details or a signature image to a person who claims to have a new camp list without a government source. The official Yuba Sathi quick-tips page is the document reference used for this article.

How to check application status or seek help

Start at the official Yuba Sathi portal and use the Application Status option if you applied during the 2026 window. The home page also exposes Public Notices and Department Reports. Those links are more reliable than a search result that republishes an old camp schedule.

If the portal does not answer the issue, use the help details printed on the official pages. The Yuba Sathi Help Desk number is 6292248888 and the published email is yubasathi2026@gmail.com. Use the contact route for an account-specific problem rather than posting identity or bank information publicly.

Keep your application reference details, mobile number and document copies available if you already applied. A support response may require information that identifies the application, but the official portal should remain the starting point. The Yuva Sathi status-check article can provide additional site context, while the current government portal controls the live status.

Payment, DBT and verification

The official scheme material states that the assistance is ₹1,500 per month. The notification says the amount is transferred directly to an Aadhaar-linked bank account held solely in the eligible youth’s name. The department presentation says the assistance continues until employment or for a maximum of five years, whichever is earlier.

The notification describes verification by designated officers and sanction by the District Magistrate or KMC Commissioner depending on jurisdiction. It also says the government can stop or withhold assistance if the eligibility condition no longer exists or the sanction was made on a mistaken ground.

Common mistakes that can delay a case

The first mistake is using a past camp date as if it were a current invitation. The second is relying on an unofficial application path. The third is uploading documents that do not follow the official size or format limits. These errors are avoidable when the reader checks the current portal before acting.

• Do not assume February camp dates are still open.
• Do not treat a copied APAS or social-media link as the official Yuba Sathi route.
• Do not ignore the 300 KB PDF and 50 KB image limits listed in quick tips.
• Do not use a bank account that is not in the eligible youth’s own name when the notification requires a single account.
• Do not treat eligibility as approval before verification and sanction.
• Do not send Aadhaar, bank or signature files to an unverified contact.

The official notification also expects the applicant to disclose a later employment or other change that affects eligibility. That is why a scheme article should explain the verification rule instead of promising that every submitted form will become a payment.

What should readers do now?

If you applied during the February 2026 camp phase, check the official portal’s Application Status option and read its Public Notices. Keep the application reference information and the mobile number used during submission available. If the portal does not resolve the issue, contact the published help desk or email.

If you did not apply before the closing time, do not assume that registration is still open because an old article, video or search snippet says so. Wait for a new notice from the Government of West Bengal or the Yuba Sathi portal. A fresh application window would need fresh dates and instructions.

The Yuva Sathi Portal 2026 guide is useful for navigation context. For broader welfare information, see the site’s government schemes guide, but verify any time-sensitive detail against the issuing department.

The practical takeaway

The Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026 answered a time-bound question about where eligible youth could submit Banglar Yuba Sathi applications during the February camp phase. The official record places that phase from February 15 to February 26, excluding February 22, and the live portal says the submission period has ended.

The useful current route is therefore different. Check the official Yuba Sathi portal for Application Status, Public Notices and Department Reports. Use the published help desk when the portal does not answer the question. Keep the verified scheme rules in view: ₹1,500 per month, age 21 to 40 years as on April 1, 2026, Madhyamik or equivalent, West Bengal residence, unemployment and Aadhaar-linked DBT subject to verification and sanction.

A camp list is valuable when it is dated and sourced. It becomes misleading when an old schedule is presented as a new promise. This page keeps the historical dates, removes unsupported live-application claims and points readers back to the official record.
