Hello friends! I recently heard about Bina Mulya Samajik Suraksha Yojana (BM-SSY) started by the West Bengal government, but I’m not clear about the full details . Who is eligible for this scheme – unorganised workers only or all BPL families? What benefits are provided like health cover, pension, education help, etc.? Also, how to apply for it online or offline in 2025? If anyone has registered already or knows the step-by-step process, please share it here. It will really help many poor and working-class families.
