Are you a landless agricultural labourer or a “Khet Majur”? Don’t worry, the West Bengal government has officially launched a scheme named Bhumihin Khetmajur Scheme 2026 (also known as Bhumihin Krishak Bandhu or ভূমিহীন খেত মজুর প্রকল্প)
I think it is a great initiative by the government of West Bengal. It offers financial aid to the landless agricultural labourers, who basically work on others’ agricultural land and produce food for us.
The government officially announces that Bhumihin Krishak or Khetmajur can receive Rs. 4000 in financial assistance. Now, the question is: how to apply, and who can apply for this scheme? I will give you a step-by-step guide and give you detailed information about the scheme.
What Is Bhumihin Khetmajur Prakalpa 2026?
The Bhumihin Khetmajur Prakala or Bhumihin Krishak Bandhu (ভূমিহীন খেত মজুর প্রকল্প) is a welfare scheme launched by the Government of West Bengal under Ex Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee. The TMC government cannot sustain; they ruled in West Bengal for 15 years, and the people chose the BJP government and the current Honourable Chief Minister is Mr Suvendu Adhikari. The new Government assured that all existing schemes will remain fully in force unless or until any modification is required.
