This program is designed for those West Bengalis who choose to return to their home state after traveling to other states for work.

The Shramshree Scheme’s primary goal is to give these returning employees financial support. The program provides Rs 5,000 in financial aid each month. Workers in West Bengal will be able to start over and manage their expenses with this sum.
