Schemes launched years ago, yet Bengal sent zero proposals

New Delhi has asked West Bengal to fast track central schemes for tribal welfare, citing state non-implementation. The Centre says programs including PM-JANMAN and DAJGUA, launched in 2023 and 2024, have received no proposals from Bengal, even for housing, road connectivity and solar electrification. The state has also not signed an MoU for Eklavya Model Residential Schools.
