Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026
What You Will Learn
- What the 2026 Yuva Sathi camps were designed to do and which dates applied.
- Who met the official age, residence, education, and unemployment conditions.
- Which documents, bank details, and upload limits the government portal lists.
- How to check the official portal now that the online submission window has ended.
The Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026 was not just a list of addresses. It was the practical entry point for eligible unemployed youth who needed to submit a Banglar Yuba Sathi application through assembly-level camps in West Bengal. The camp phase has passed. The official government portal now carries a notice that online application submission has ended, so an old article that tells readers to visit a camp today is misleading.
This update separates three things that are often mixed together. First, the application camp schedule belonged to February 2026. Second, the scheme itself became effective from April 1, 2026. Third, the live portal is now the right place to check application status, public notices, and help information. That distinction matters because a date printed in an old PDF is not proof that a new application window is open.
The official scheme documents also correct two important errors that appeared in the earlier version of this page. The monthly assistance is Rs 1,500. The earlier version used an incorrect amount. The stated age band is 21 to 40 years as on April 1, 2026. The earlier version also used an incorrect age range. The sections below use the government notification, the Department of Youth Services and Sports material, and the live Yuba Sathi portal as the reference points.
What the Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026 was for
Banglar Yuba Sathi is a West Bengal Government scheme for educated unemployed youth. The official notification says the scheme provides monthly financial assistance to eligible applicants. Applications were collected at camps arranged across the state's Assembly Constituencies, with verification handled by designated officers after submission.
The camp system had a simple purpose. It gave applicants a physical place to submit a signed form and self-attested documents while local officials checked the details. The process was not the same as an open-ended online registration service. The official scheme presentation describes camps in all 294 Assembly Constituencies, while the notification says applications could be submitted at the notified camps and other places specified by the authorities.
For the scheme background, readers can use the related Yuva Sathi scheme overview. It should be read together with the official documents because scheme pages can become stale when a camp phase ends.
Camp dates, timing, and what has changed
The official Department presentation states that the Assembly-wise application camps were scheduled from February 15 to February 26, 2026, except February 22. The listed camp timing was 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM. These dates describe the original application phase. They should not be presented as a future schedule.
| Item | Official information |
|---|---|
| Application camp dates | February 15 to February 26, 2026, except February 22 |
| Camp timing | 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM |
| Scheme effective date | April 1, 2026 |
| Camp coverage | All 294 Assembly Constituencies |
| Portal status now | Online application submission has ended |
The official portal's current announcement changes the reader's next step. Someone searching for a fresh camp address should not rely on the February schedule without checking a new public notice. The useful live route is the official portal's Application Status and Public Notices section. If a new window is announced, that portal is the source that should be checked first.
Official portal and current application status
The official Yuba Sathi website is yubasathi.wb.gov.in. Its homepage identifies the Department of Youth Services and Sports, Government of West Bengal, and provides links for Application Submission, Application Status, Public Notices, and Department Reports.
At the time of this update, the homepage says that the online application submission period has officially ended. That statement is more useful than a recycled camp-list paragraph because it tells the reader what is available now. The portal also publishes the Yuba Sathi Help Desk number, 6292248888, and the email yubasathi2026@gmail.com.
For a simple explanation of the portal sections, see the site's Yuva Sathi portal guide. Use the government domain for the actual status check. A third-party article can explain the steps, but it cannot replace the official status page.
Who qualified for Banglar Yuba Sathi
The official notification and Department presentation set out the main eligibility conditions. An applicant had to satisfy all relevant conditions, not just the age requirement. The government also required declarations about residence, unemployment, and the accuracy of the submitted information.
| Eligibility condition | Official requirement |
|---|---|
| Residence | Permanent resident of West Bengal |
| Age | 21 to 40 years as on April 1, 2026 |
| Education | Madhyamik or equivalent examination passed |
| Employment | Unemployed at the relevant time |
| Other assistance | Not covered under the disallowed social security or State allowance conditions, except permitted educational benefits or scholarships |
The age date is fixed in the official documents. It is not the applicant's age on the day a reader opens this page. The form also asks for Madhyamik or equivalent examination details and includes a declaration that the applicant is a permanent resident of West Bengal.
Applicants also had to disclose a later change in circumstances. The notification says the authority should be informed if the beneficiary gets employment, enrolls in another scheme, or otherwise becomes ineligible. That rule is important for existing applicants checking the status of an approved benefit.
The broader Yuva Sathi application form guide can help readers understand the form fields. The official notification remains the final reference for eligibility.
Documents and upload requirements
The official portal's quick-tips page gives a practical document list. Applicants were asked to keep self-attested documents ready, along with image files and a valid mobile number. The government notification also requires a single bank account in the eligible youth's own name for Aadhaar-linked transfer.
- Madhyamik or equivalent admit card.
- Madhyamik or equivalent marksheet or educational certificate.
- Self-attested Aadhaar Card copy.
- Self-attested voter card copy.
- First page of the bank passbook.
- SC, ST, or OBC certificate where applicable.
- Recent passport-size photograph and applicant signature.
- A valid mobile number for OTP or Secret PIN communication.
| File or detail | Portal instruction |
|---|---|
| PDF documents | Maximum file size 300 KB |
| Photo | JPG or PNG, maximum 50 KB |
| Signature | JPG or PNG, maximum 50 KB |
| Bank account | Single account in the eligible applicant's name, linked with Aadhaar |
| Mobile number | Valid number required for OTP or Secret PIN communication |
The document list is not a reason to upload files to an unofficial website. Keep copies safely and use the official portal or the notified government process. Readers who want the registration context can review the Yuva Sathi registration guide, then confirm the live position on the government portal.
How to check the official status or seek help
Start at the official Yuba Sathi application information page. The portal homepage links to Application Status, while the quick-tips page lists the documents and the help desk details. Because the submission window is closed, the status route is more relevant than a generic instruction to fill a new form.
- Open the official Yuba Sathi portal and confirm that the domain ends in wb.gov.in.
- Use the Application Status option shown on the portal if you already submitted an application.
- Keep the mobile number used during the process available for portal communication.
- If the status page does not answer the question, contact the official help desk at 6292248888 or email yubasathi2026@gmail.com.
- Check Public Notices before assuming that a new camp, correction window, or fresh application period has opened.
Do not treat a search snippet, social-media post, or old PDF mirror as proof of a live application window. The official portal announcement is the current availability signal used in this update.
Payment amount, DBT, and verification
The official scheme notification states that the financial assistance is Rs 1,500 per month. It is intended for a maximum period of five years or until employment or enrolment in another scheme, whichever comes earlier. The payment is transferred directly to an Aadhaar-linked bank account held solely by the eligible youth.
| Payment detail | Official position |
|---|---|
| Monthly assistance | Rs 1,500 |
| Maximum duration | Five years |
| Earlier stopping point | Employment or enrolment in another scheme, where the eligibility condition no longer exists |
| Transfer method | Direct bank transfer to the eligible applicant's Aadhaar-linked account |
| Sanctioning authority | District Magistrate, or KMC Commissioner for applicable Kolkata Municipal Corporation areas |
The payment is not an unconditional lifetime allowance. The notification describes yearly verification of the beneficiary's live status and allows assistance to be stopped or withheld when the eligibility condition no longer exists or the sanction was made on a mistaken ground. That is why applicants should keep their submitted information accurate and report a change that affects eligibility.
For readers focused on a transfer or payment question, the separate Yuva Sathi payment status guide provides a narrower route. This page explains the scheme rules and the status of the application window.
Common mistakes to avoid
The old version of this article mixed past camp information with current instructions. That can create false urgency and send readers to the wrong place. The safer approach is to separate verified dates from live availability.
- Do not rely on the earlier incorrect benefit amount. The official notification states Rs 1,500 per month.
- Do not rely on the earlier incorrect age range. The official documents state 21 to 40 years as on April 1, 2026.
- Do not present February 15 to February 26 as an open camp schedule now.
- Do not treat the old APAS wording or a third-party camp table as the live government status.
- Do not use a bank account that is not in the eligible applicant's own name for the stated DBT condition.
- Do not assume that a submitted application guarantees payment. Verification and sanction are part of the official process.
These checks are simple, but they protect readers from the most common failure in scheme content: a correct fact from the wrong date being presented as a current instruction.
What to do now
If you submitted an application during the 2026 camp phase, begin with the official portal's Application Status option. Keep the relevant mobile number, acknowledgement details, and document copies available. If the portal does not resolve the issue, use the published help desk number or email instead of sending Aadhaar or bank information to an unverified contact.
If you did not apply before the submission period ended, do not assume that the form is still open because an old article or video says so. Check Public Notices on the official portal for any future announcement. This page will also need a source-backed update if the Department publishes a new application window, revised eligibility condition, or fresh camp schedule.
The official portal is the useful bookmark. The camp list is historical unless a newer official notice replaces it.
The practical takeaway
The Yuva Sathi Camp List 2026 answered a time-bound question: where and when could eligible West Bengal youth submit a Banglar Yuba Sathi application during the February 2026 camp phase? That phase had fixed dates. It is not the same as a permanent online registration facility.
For a reader checking the scheme now, the order is straightforward. Confirm the official portal, check whether the application or status route is available, read the latest public notice, and contact the published help desk when the portal does not answer the issue. The official record sets the benefit at Rs 1,500 per month, the age at 21 to 40 years on April 1, 2026, and the maximum benefit period at five years subject to the scheme conditions.
That is the useful version of this guide: clear on what happened, careful about what is live, and unwilling to turn an old camp date into a new promise.
