Sanchita Chatterjee, BS News Agency: I humbly present my 10 ‘Protigya’ for Bengal, so that the wheels of development continue to move forward in the fourth term of my government.
Under Lakshmir Bhandar, with an increase of ₹500, women will continue to receive monthly financial assistance of ₹1,500 for General category beneficiaries (₹18,000 annually) and ₹1,700 for SC/ST beneficiaries (₹20,400 annually).

I will continue Banglar Yuba-Sathi, extending financial support of ₹1,500 per month (₹18,000 annually) to unemployed youth.
I also commit to instituting a ₹30,000 crore Agri-Budget to ensure continued assistance to farm families, provide support to landless farmers, and enable holistic upgradation of the agricultural sector.
I promise that every family in Bengal will have a pucca house, and every household will have access to piped drinking water.
Additionally, my Government will organise annual Duare Chikitsa camps in every block and town to ensure effective doorstep delivery of healthcare.
I will ensure the holistic infrastructural upgradation of all Government schools under Banglar Shikshayatan.
I will work to make Bengal the gateway of trade for Eastern India, with world-class logistics, ports, trade infrastructure, and a state-of-the-art Global Trade Centre.
I will strive to ensure uninterrupted Old Age Pension support for all existing beneficiaries, while gradually extending the safety net to all eligible senior citizens.
I also promise to establish seven new districts and expand the number of Urban Local Bodies through a comprehensive geographical reorganisation.
These 10 ‘Protigya’ will form the foundation of my governance and serve as the roadmap for the next five years.
