The Suvendu government has rolled out a special drive to entice over 22 lakh migrant workers back to Bengal. The campaign will focus on easing the return process through financial incentives, job placement assistance and outreach in the workers’ current locations.
Officials have highlighted the goal of replenishing the state’s labor market, which has experienced a noticeable outflow in recent years. The program will also aim to streamline documentation and provide support for families that have settled elsewhere.
The government has not yet released a detailed timeline, but it has indicated that the measure will be rolled out in phases across key districts and major migrant hubs.
